How to Take Care of Fine Line Tattoo

Caring for a fine line tattoo requires a gentle touch because the lines are so delicate. While many artists use adhesive barriers like Saniderm, some users report that removing these sticky films can pull at the fragile lines or cause "ink fallout" if not done carefully. A common alternative is "dry healing" or using a very thin layer of unscented moisturizer like Aquaphor or lotion after washing with antibacterial soap. It is crucial to avoid picking any flakes, as this can sever the fine lines, and to avoid submerging the tattoo in water (pools, baths) for at least two weeks.
