Taking Care of a New Tattoo: 3 Things You Need To Know

Tattoo care is very important, so you must do everything possible to protect your tattoo. Taking care of your tattoo can include simple tasks like cleaning it, keeping it out of the sun, and applying tattoo aftercare products.

Tattoo Care and Cleaning

Keeping your new ink clean is important to prevent infection and keep your tattoo looking fresh and clean for years to come. A clean tattoo by great Denver, Colorado tattoo artists can make you proud for years to come. If you’re planning to get a tattoo, read up on caring for your new one. The benefits are well worth the effort.

If you’re planning on traveling with your new ink, make sure you have a couple of towels and wet wipes on hand. It’s important to keep your new ink clean as much as possible, so feel free to stop by a water fountain on the way to your hotel or cruise ship.

To keep your new ink clean, you’ll need to clean it daily. The most important thing to remember is to use clean hands. Keeping your hands clean will help prevent the spread of germs from other people. You’ll also want to use a lint-free cloth to remove excess debris. You’ll also want to cover your tattoo to prevent dirt and grime from getting into the ink.

Applying Aftercare Ointment

Choosing the right aftercare for a tattoo can make or break the healing process. Choosing the best aftercare product will keep your tattoo moist, clean, and free of infection. It’ll also help minimize healing time and soothe and comfort the area. Fun fact: CBD is even being used now to speed up healing in some tattoo aftercare products!

One of the best aftercare products for tattoos is aloe vera. This natural product offers antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, it is packed with vitamins and amino acids that are needed to promote new, healthy skin. Aloe gel contains vitamin E, which acts as a natural preservative. You can store it in the refrigerator for one month or mix it with a vitamin E capsule.

Before applying aloe to a tattoo, you should consult your artist. While aloe can promote healing and help reduce itching, it may cause an allergic reaction or cause infection. Aloe may also cause your tattoo to fade faster. It may also adversely affect hydration, which could interfere with healing. It’s important to test a small patch of skin first before applying aloe to your tattoo.

Protecting Your Tattoo From The Sun

Keeping your new tattoo safe from the sun is important to protect the design and the pigment in ink. Sun exposure can cause problems such as sunburn, dry skin, wrinkles, and skin cancer. Sunblock can help prevent these conditions and keep your skin looking youthful and healthy.

There are several ways to protect your new tattoo from the sun. The best way is to wear sunscreen. It would help if you chose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects your tattoo from UVA and UVB rays. This should be applied liberally over your tattoo.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends an SPF of 30 or higher products. A sunscreen with a high SPF is ideal for swimming or other water-based activities. The sun is out for about eight hours a day, so it’s important to wear sunscreen when you’re outside.

When shopping for sunscreen, you should also consider its ingredients. Some ingredients may increase your risk of skin problems. Others may be toxic to the environment. Choose one that contains natural ingredients and natural sunscreen agents, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
Want to learn more, including what many of these terms mean? Check out my books (including Vitamin Weed) & courses via the link in my bio.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
