Don’t Scratch That Itch

If you area a regular here and I hope you are. You more than likely remember me mentioning something about your tattoo itching like crazy when it starts to heal. I actually don’t know why it itches so blasted much but it does and it is something you will have to deal with. Now please remember that there are consequences you will have to pay if you decided to go ahead and scratch the darn thing. Those consequences are you will have little white dots all over your tattoo because you scratched the ink away. Of course if you get your tat in an area you can’t reach so well it will drive you crazy because you can’t reach it but it will also save you from scratching it and ruining it.

So I have a few little secrets up me sleeve that I will share with you to relieve the itchiness. First you can scratch around the tattoo. That’s what I always did. I would scratch the surrounding area and it seemed to help. Also you can put some ice on it. I know it might sound strange but it will numb it and you want have the itchy sensation anymore. Also don’t worry about your clothes rubbing up against your new tat. This will not cause your tattoo to have white spots in it. But it is recommended that you wear loose fitting clothing until it heals all the way. And yes once it heals and the yucky scab falls off it will feel so super soft. Just remember if you want to keep it that way, put lotion on it at least once a day.
