Tattoo - lotion / cleaning

So I got a tattoo today (not big)

I was told to keep the second skin on for 3 days.

Then take it off , clean it & put lotion / moisturizer on.

But she never told me (& I didn’t think about asking/I forgot to):

How many times a day should you clean it & put lotion on it

Hey! So I’m not a fan of the second skin. Will never use it and I am pretty much covered in tattoos. I’m not saying I am an expert but I do have plenty of experience. Dial hand soap is the best for washing, and you’ll want to wash it about two times a day (depending on how dry your skin is- maybe once a day will work better for you). I recommended only putting lotion on once the tattoo starts the peeling/flaking stage. Make sure lotion is not scented as scent will irritate it. And you don’t want to suffocate the tattoo as it is basically a wound. So only put lotion on when your skin is a little too dry. Hope this help dear 💛
