After getting a new tattoo, it's important to keep it clean and moisturized. Follow these steps for proper aftercare: 1. Wash your hands before touching the tattoo. 2. Gently wash the tattoo with a mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. 3. Pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel. 4. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the tattoo hydrated. 5. Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight or soaking it in water for the first few weeks.
