New Tattoo at least for a week or even even better, 10-14 days (or until it is clearly and definitely healed) 2-4 times a day wash with lukewarm water and neutral soap (or such, which does not irritate the skin), and approximately 3 -- 5 times a day lubricate with ointment (after each washing, or even in between). Do this with feeling and need, a prescription is simple: the tattoo should be kept slightly greasy (not too), the skin can therefore never be completely drained.
On the other hand, too much moisture is not good, so caution in swimming in the bath (shower is - otherwise - better). Tattoo not irrigates and not too watering abundant with water, what will not harm the drop, too much water and soap is not good. Bathing and swimming in the pool, at least the first few days, strictly off!
