How often should I moisturize my new tattoo?
The fresh ink needs to stay moisturized to protect it from cracking and bleeding. So how often should you be moisturizing your new tattoo? As a general rule, it is recommended that you moisturize your tattoo 2-3 times a day, which is every 8 – 12 hours a day.
Your skin may itch or burn because of a lack of moisture in the area, so it may feel impossible to ignore the urge to scratch.
