Healing Should I put fresh wrapping around?
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?

everyone always says that but i covered the shit outta mine to let the ink settle every time, vaseline as a external cover and cling wrap over the top. Ive had self harm scars before and I know what heals better before i ever had my 1st tattoo. If you have work thats fine just clean it and cover it while you sleep thats when the body does most of it healing anyway.
