What are the effects of drinking alcohol after getting a tattoo?

Alcohol is also an irritant. Drinking before the tattoo area has fully recovered may cause the area to become red, itchy, or even inflamed, festering, and other discomforts.

What should you pay attention to before and after tattooing

Things to note before getting a tattoo

1. Choose a regular tattoo shop that guarantees the hygiene of tattoo equipment.

2. Understand the quality of tattoo pigments. The dyes and inks used for tattoos must be liquid plant pigments that have been disinfected by alcohol immersion. This type of pigment is extracted from natural plants and is not likely to cause skin infection after penetrating into the skin.

3. You should ensure that you are in a good mental state before getting a tattoo. It is not recommended to get a tattoo when you are feeling unwell or sick.

4. Avoid drinking alcohol before getting a tattoo. Drinking alcohol will not reduce the pain during tattooing. On the contrary, it may cause more bleeding during the tattooing process.

Things to note after tattooing

1. After 3-4 hours of tattooing, tear off the plastic wrap covering the tattoo, gently wipe off the exudate and blood with warm water, and then wipe it clean with a soft dry towel.

2. Wipe the tattoo area with a non-alcoholic wet wipe every 4 hours, and wipe the tattoo with aloe vera gel or moisturizing lotion.

3. Avoid using shower gel or soap to clean the tattooed area.

4. It is normal to have itching and scabs after tattooing. Do not scratch the wound with your hands to avoid infection and pigment fading.

5. Before the tattoo area has recovered, avoid prolonged contact with water, sauna, sunbathing, or swimming.
