My skin was no longer red, and the tattoo itself wasn't dry or itchy. I continuously applied a thin layer of Aquaphor throughout the day and stayed out of the sun to avoid irritation since my skin was still sensitive. I also checked for any bumps or peeling to make sure my tattoo wasn't infected. As I touched the surface of my skin, my tattoo felt smooth with no signs of discoloration or scarring.
Before going to bed, I washed my tattoo with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap as well as applied a thin layer of vitamin E to rejuvenate my skin.
