There are a few key things to note. Watch this video by the NHS :
- Your tattoo artist and shop should be licensed. The licence is issued by the local authority and must be displayed.
- Check the hygiene and that they are using sterilised equipment.
- The aftercare is really important. Poor healing can affect your tattoo, ruining the design or worse it can lead to an infection. The best product you can use to heal a new tattoo is After Inked – it is formulated specifically to moisturise new tattoos, which reduces scabbing.
- Finally, before you proceed, make sure you are happy with the design and your tattoo artist. A tattoo is permanent.
