Two or three hours later, clean the ointment and blood stains with warm water and dry wounds with absorbent cotton or professional paper towel. When you finish these steps, do not use any other ointment. It's normal that you have itchy skin and skin peels a few days after tattooing. Remember not to scratch the tattoos, or the wounds may get infectious or decolouring.
