The instructions could vary between different tattoo studios and even artists of the same studio, because these are based on the experience of each one, but it is very important to carefully follow the instructions of the person who performed the tattoo since each tattoo has your own naturalness, if this is color or black and gray or if this is a covering, your artist could give you additional tips for your specific tattoo
1.- Bandage.
Once your tattoo has been covered with you should keep the plastic between 2 to 5 hours, if the tattoo was finished at night you may be suggested to keep it for the whole night, this will make it more comfortable while you sleep and avoid it (due to the plasma that comes out of your tattoo) the skin sticks to the sheets of your bed.
2.- Washing
Once you remove the plastic or bandage it will be necessary to wash immediately with some antibacterial soap or specialized soap for the care of tattoos, to dry use a towel that leaves no residue, avoid rubbing and leave it like that for a couple of hours

These products can also be found in Industrial Art in Bayonne, use it 2 to 4 times a day for approximately 10 days to keep it hydrated and the skin regains its natural texture.
