People get tattoos for a wide range of reasons. They can be powerful reminders of an experience, person, place, or time as well as beautiful pieces of art. Whatever your reason for getting inked, you invested time and money in the process. You probably want it to heal nicely and keep its vibrant color for decades to come. Bubble Buds cream is perfect for use on your healing tattoo.

How Do Tattoos Heal?

In general, there are three stages in the tattoo healing process. In the first stage, the skin becomes inflamed as the body sends blood and healing agents to the site of the wound. Redness, swelling, and even oozing are common but should improve each day. Typically this lasts 48-72 hours. Once the inflammation subsides, the second phase of healing begins. The top layer of skin peels, flakes, and scabs causing that annoying itching. During this time, it’s important not to scratch the skin or peel off the scabs. Finally, the skin continues healing over the next month – most of it beneath the surface. Typically, people notice that the dull appearance of the tattoo becomes more vibrant after about 30 days. Complete healing can take between 3-6 months.

Your Healing Tattoo Needs Airflow

In the past, people used to use petroleum-based creams like Vaseline for tattoo healing. And, you may still see some people recommending these. But as we have learned more and more about the skin barrier and healing process, the most recent recommendations have changed. Petroleum products are suffocating to the skin and don’t allow it to breathe properly. Airflow plays a critical role in skin healing, and that requires the use of something different. In addition, it’s no longer recommended to smother the tattoo constantly with creams – just a few times a day with a thin layer of a gentle, breathable ointment will suffice.

It should come as no surprise that Mother Nature knows best, offering up some of the perfect ingredients for skin healing.
