A tattoo is actually a raw wound and you have to take care of it to avoid infection.

First thing is you need to look at the cleanliness and professionalism of your tattooist to avoid contracting diseases like like HIV, tuberculosis, and even tetanus.

Secondly after you've had your tattoo keep the wound dry by using a clean paper towel.Avoid using cloth towels which could be a source of lurking bacteria.

Remove the scabs after cleaning your hands and oil the skin over the tattoo to keep it moisturized.

Keep your skin moisturized daily as this helps to tattoo to dry and also keep from fading.
