Foot tattoo aftercare is one of the most important steps to take after getting a foot tattoo. Foot tattoos are exotic and rare. Many artists won’t even tattoo feet because the design has a tendency to bleed over time as the ink migrates around the foot. It is also very painful for the person involved and requires a lot of aftercare.
Foot tattoo aftercare is more intense than with other tattoos. The area has to be protected and kept clean and should not be in contact with anything, even a pant leg. This means that flip-flops have to be worn for a few weeks. If the sandal touches the tat it can cause problems with infection so many people have to remain barefoot for a week or two. Many people cannot even walk for a few das afterwards because of the pain.
Foot tattoo aftercare consists of keeping the tattoo clean and moisturized while it is healing. Un-scented Lubriderm is one of the best moisturizers for tattoos and is recommended by almost every artist. Scented lotions can cause infection and allergic reactions and are not recommended. Feet get a lot dirtier than other parts of the body so it is very important to keep the feet clean at all times to prevent infections.
