However, from what I read, you should be washing it throughout the day but you want to be careful with washing a new tattoo too much. If you are washing it too much, it can cause you to wash away the natural bacteria that is on your skin which is what helps your skin to heal. Also, make sure that you are washing your hands before washing the tattoo so you don’t transfer any germs and then blot the tattoo dry with a paper towel.
Also, you don’t want to use to much ointment/lotion because that can cause scabbing in excessive amounts or formscabs to fall off before they’re ready because your skin needs to breathe in order to heal properly.

Take care!
