I just got my first tattoo and totally forgot you can’t take baths with fresh ones. I have to take them frequently for medical reasons. Does anyone have advice on mitigating the risk from that 😭
Im ngl, ive taken plenty of baths after getting fresh tats. I personally have never had an issue. Just dont scrub it and make sure you keep up your after care and if things dont look right go back to your artist or the doctor

tegaderm/second skin should be fine. or just wash it after each bath. it shouldn’t be that bad, not quite the same but i went swimming like a week after my belly piercing 🤷♀️

Is it in a place where you could potentially leave it out of the water?

Cover it with Vaseline no problem

You can take baths with new tattoos. They just advise you not go swimming in lakes or open bodies of water because of bacteria. Baths are perfectly okay though 👍
