Removing second skin
It is best to hop in the shower and use anti bacterial soap with warm water to peel it off. Once your soap and water are in place, lift a corner of the film and stretch it toward the center of the tattoo. Grab another corner and repeat. Keep applying the soap as you peel it off. This will help to gently remove it from the skin.
For the next 3 weeks
Keep it clean
Twice a day wash your tattoo gently with antibacterial soap and water. Use your clean hands or a soft cloth to avoid irritating the skin. Avoid using any harsh soaps, scrubs, or exfoliants.
Keep it moisturized
After washing your tattoo, pat it dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment. This will help prevent the skin from becoming dry and itchy.
Avoid soaking
Avoid soaking your tattoo in water, including pools, hot tubs, baths, and the ocean. Showering is fine, but keep the water pressure low and avoid exposing the tattoo to direct spray.
Avoid sun exposure
Protect your tattoo from direct sunlight or tanning beds. If you need to be outside, wear loose clothing that covers the tattoo or apply a high SPF sunscreen.
Don't pick or scratch:
As your tattoo heals, it may scab or peel. Do not pick or scratch at the area, as this can cause damage and slow down the healing process.

Yes. Getting a tattoo hurts, as the process involves piercing the skin with needles to insert ink. Pain varies depending on the location of the body, its sensitivity and the size of the tattoo.
But the experience of getting a tattoo can also be exciting, rewarding and even therapeutic.
Talk to your tattoo artist about using numbing cream before your session. He will be able to guide you about the risks and benefits and help you find the best way to minimize pain during your tattoo.
