    I was just curious to know what everyone did when their new tattoo started to itch. Any specials techniques to help relieve it? During the heeling period of my last tattoo it itched like crazy for 3 weeks!

    dont scratch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    that shiny new skin that is so kindly driving you batty is what is holding your ink in, so to speak.

    slap it, rub lotion on it, wash it with a wash cloth…

    personally I like the slapping!

    hehe.

    yeah…just use some lotion or something you wanna keep that area moist…do NOT let it dry up haha. it drying up can also make it alot more itchy then it needs to be.

    I always find slamming your hand in the drawer or stapling a finger takes your mind off the itching with the pain… 😀

    Slapping and moisturiser is what works best. Personally I found tattoo goo great for the itching but nowhere near me sells it *sniff*

    Just lotion the heck out of it. Keep that skin real moist and it will keep the colors looking much better. I have a lot of work done and have never had itching problems. I literally put lotion on it 15 plus times a day. It helps your skin to heal up faster as well, and on tp of that the colors will b brighter during the healing process.

    That’s not altogether true. It creates soggy scabs, and the best breeding ground for infection is a continually moist, warm surface…

    ya the itching gets to be too much at times. I’ve tried everything & the slapping really does help. If it’s itching cuz its drying out tho, I rub my hemp stick on it. Best stuff I’ve ever found. Moistens it right up & I can get some relief. Can’t get it in the store, you gotta order online, but at least they probably ship it anywhere and it’s very reasonably priced.

    Tattoo Hemp stick

    Hope that helps
