Avoid creams containing ingredients such as petroleum (which is why Vaseline is a no-go), which can trap bacteria and stop the wound from breathing. Don’t submerge in water: You can get your tattoo wet with short showers, but it shouldn't be submerged or soaked in the bath or swimming for at least two-to-three weeks (or longer) until healed. As much as your body might heal on its own, it's best for your health if you get advice from your pharmacist, or speak to your GP about a possible need for antibiotics.Celebrity tattoo artist Claudio Traina adds that the clingfilm should only be left on for a maximum of four days (again, depending on the advice given to you by the person who inked you), then it’s time to clean and moisturise.
