Day 2

Waking up, I noticed most of the Aquaphor had dried, so I decided to wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and Dial Antibacterial Aloe Liquid Hand Soap ($1) before applying more Saran Wrap. After washing the area, I used Cococare 100% Vitamin E Oil ($7) to help prevent the itchiness of a new tattoo as well as prevent the ink from smudging. Like the previous day, I wore loose-fitting clothing and reapplied Saran Wrap to ensure my clothes wouldn't irritate my skin.

Most of the redness from the previous day was gone, and it looked like my tattoo was healing well. Before showering, I made sure to apply another layer of Saran Wrap to ensure the heat of the water wouldn't cause dryness. I also made sure there were no bumps or scars on my skin, as this is an early indication of infection.
