Other Don'ts, some of which I learnt the hard way: Don't have hot showers with a new tattoo. The steam can open up the pores and make ink drain out Don't wash your tattoo in hot water Don't put the tattoo directly under running water, whether that be a from a tap or a shower head Don't use too much cream when moisturizing Don't use a towel to dry your tattoo, only use a fresh paper towel / kitchen paper Don't rub dry your tattoo. Pat dry Don't wear tight clothes over your tattoo Don't go to bed with a new tattoo without freshly washed bedsheets and pyjamas, or whatever you wear to bed that may cover the tattoo

Dial soap works great and lubriderm lotion is the best

If I can recommend anything for tattoo cleaning, Dial Gold liquid soap. Super gentle and no heavy added scents.
