There is a large and varied number of opinions on the proper steps to tattoo aftercare. One thing we know from studying the anatomy of a tattoo is that improper tattoo aftercare can lead to infection, fading of ink and loss detail and definition to a tattoo that quite possibly is a very expensive piece of body art. In a worst case scenario you could even end up with a very costly scar. Many people believe that once the needlework is done all you have to do is wait for the wound to heal. Nothing could be further from the truth. You don’t need to stay in an ICU ward at the local hospital, but there are certain things that need to be done to protect your investment.

AfterCare Procedure

Although there are many opinions on how to treat your new tattoo most artists agree that the original bandage should remain in place for the first 6 – 12 hours unless the artist covered the area with some kind of plastic or Saran Wrap. The plastic/Saran Wrap prevents air from getting to the “wound” and lack of air is detrimental to proper healing. In this case the plastic should be removed as soon as possible and replaced with with a proper bandage for the next several hours.

When economic conditions become depressed, as they currently are, how does one know who to trust when it comes to something as important as the removal of a tattoo?

First of all look at the track record of the person or entity dispensing the information. Tattoo removal products that have been around a while are more likely to have a trail of information about them that can give clues as to their honesty and integrity. Look at their site and be sure to checkout the guarantee offered by the company. If they stand behind their product by offering a short, to the point and easily understood guarantee that gives plenty of time to test the product, then they are more than likely a trustworthy company.

If a product offering is being made by a company that started as the economy started going bad they could be experiencing financial problems which cause them to offer a poor or no guarantee at all.

Always make sure you understand the terms of the guarantee. Call or email the company if necessary for clarification.

If they have no phone number or email address displayed it might be best to avoid them all together. Why would a company with any integrity offer no way to communicate with them?

Anonymous communication forms also offer a glimpse into the way a company does business. If they are anonymous you have to wonder why they wish to remain hidden.

In times of financial distress it is best to stick with the older established companies that sell the type of tattoo removal product you are interested in. If they all operate the same way, in an anonymous fashion that should give a hint as to the reliability of that industry’s entire removal method.

In the end we are all responsible for our decisions and actions.

Prudence should be the foundation for all financial decisions in a bad economy.
