How to quickly reduce swelling after tattooing?
It is best not to try other anti-inflammatory drugs other than erythromycin ointment, because it is likely to affect the tone of the tattoo, and the eyebrow trimming is more serious after tattoo repair. Don't worry too much, it doesn't matter when the tattoo is completely repaired.

You must take a bath behind the tattoo, and wash it every day, but you don't have to rub the skin of the tattoo area hard when washing. Because the shower is to wash the blood stasis and residual plaster, so be careful not to use irritating shower gel and soap, just wash it gently with soft soap, and the bath time should not be too long. You can take a bath, but it is not suitable for bathing or swimming. After taking a bath, apply erythromycin ointment to the tattoo area (the advantage of applying erythromycin ointment is that the skin on the tattoo area is not easy to get too dry and scab).

Before the tattoo is completely repaired, apply erythromycin ointment to the skin of the tattoo area three or four times a day, and let the ointment stay up and down for 20 to 30 minutes before wiping it off, which not only avoids skin infection, but also makes the ointment not easy to stick to clothes, making the skin breathable and less greasy.

In the whole process of tattoo repair, the tattoo position will itch, shed skin and form a thin scab, which is normal, but don't scratch the tattoo position with your hands, otherwise it will affect the tone of the tattoo. If the skin is well repaired, it will generally heal within one week, and then the tattoo position should be maintained (if the skin at the tattoo position is injured, it will affect the color tone, and if it is serious, eyebrows need to be trimmed).

And before the tattoo is completely repaired, try not to drink alcohol, and don't eat seafood and spicy food. Because these will cause the tattoo position to be red, swollen and itchy, it is very easy to have a bad influence on the tattoo.

In addition, it is recommended to avoid wearing high heels as much as possible during tattoo repair. Because wearing high heels always makes the muscles, nerves and skin of feet and legs excessively tense, and the blood circulation system accelerates, which will make tattoos difficult to repair. Therefore, it is recommended to wear flat-heeled shoes or shoes with the lowest height-width ratio at the heel.
