Getting a tattoo is always an exciting experience from the planning phase, reviewing different designs and colors to sitting down with the artist to actually get it done. Before getting a tattoo, talk with the artist first so you can put together an aftercare tattoo kit. Aftercare is one of the most important parts of getting a tattoo.

The purpose of the aftercare instructions are to make sure that the tattoo remains in good condition. Remember that the artists' responsibility for the care and condition of the tattoo ends as soon as you walk out of the tattoo shop. You are in charge of caring for what is technically an open wound. If you do not take proper care of the tattooed area it can lead to an infection and even distorted body art. But if you follow a simple guideline with care, your tattoo will remain a source of pride and beauty for the rest of your life.

The key to putting your aftercare tattoo kit together is remembering that everyone's skin is different. There is always a risk of an allergic reaction or problems. When looking for products, read the ingredients because it may have something you're sensitive to in it.

The first part is the soap you're going to use on the tattoo. Liquid soap is always the better option as bar soaps can become contaminated after use.

The second part of your aftercare tattoo kit is the ointment. There are many that are designed specifically for use on new tattoos. These have all helped heal tattoos perfectly on some and on others have caused, sometimes severe, allergic reactions. If you have a bee allergy, there are ones that include bees wax, so be sure to read the ingredients.

The final part is lotion. You need to make sure that they are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and have no artificial colors.

As with every product you're choosing, make sure to read about all of your options and ask your artist what they would recommend. From the soap to the lotion, you want to find products that won't clog your pores or damage the healing process.
