Can Someone With Tattoo Wraps Take A Shower?

To take a shower with a new tattoo, wait until the bandage is removed, which should be 2-3 hours after the tattoo is wrapped. If you want to shower without washing your tattoo, you can do so around 3 to 4 hours after the tattoo artist has wrapped it. If your tattoo is covered with a protective wrap, wait 24 hours before the first shower. If you want to shower without washing your tattoo, you can do it 3-4 hours after the artist has wrapped the tattoo. It’s important to avoid soaking the area for at least 2 weeks and remove any soap immediately.

Some tattoo artists suggest waiting at least 24 hours after having a tattoo to shower, while others suggest having a shower once you can take off the tattoo. If you use something like Inksafe, they may tell you to wait until the following day before taking it off and taking a shower. In either case, shower in cold or lukewarm water and avoid prolonged soaking or submerging your tattoo in water for 3-4 weeks.

To deal with shower time with a new tattoo, leave the thin antimicrobial plastic film on your tattoo for 3 days and avoid peeling it when taking a shower. After getting a new tattoo, it’s important to wait at least 24 hours before showering to allow the tattoo to begin the healing process. You can shower after taking off your tattoo wrap but should avoid direct water contact with your tattoo. Use a dial antibacterial and avoid submerging your tattoo in water of any kind.

If you do re-wrap your tattoo, remove the wrap and rinse the area. Remember to follow the rules of minimizing your time under the water and using only lukewarm water.
