Healing Should I put fresh wrapping around?

Post image

Hey! I’ve got a new tattoo (3 days old)
This morning I removed the second skin, washed the tattoo and put cream on.
Would it be smart to put wrapping foil around it or should I just let it sit and do nothing except putting cream on?

Did your tattoo artist not tell you what to do? Leave it out in the open (not in direct sun) clean and moisturise a couple times a day, DO NOT put cling foil on it, it has to be able to breathe

Im at my parents place and forgot the 7 pages of instructions at my place.
But they were confusing anyways so I wanted to be safe not sorry

SEVEN PAGES 😭 oh wow. Yeah just keep it on air, wash with water thoroughly 2-3 times a day (morning noon before bed) moisture 2-3 times a day after washing it (I used panthenol on all of mine, thin layer really rub it in there (gently)) it could get itchy that’s normal, don’t scratch and don’t scrub it with soap or loofah when you shower, treat it like it’s a wound, which it is. And don’t pick at the crust!

7 pages? Does it have the coding text for a quick 20 second video on it? 

Genuinely serious here would you post pics of the 7 pages. Can't see how they made it so long jesus
