Monsoon Tattoo Care: Follow these 5 tips to avoid irritation and infection on the inked area

Tattoos need proper care in all the seasons. In summer due to direct exposure to sunlight and sweating the healing process of tattoos becomes slow whereas, in winter due to covered body tattoos heal faster.

And, it's undoubtedly more challenging to maintain tattoos in the monsoon season as the chances of infection increases and tattoos become itchy and get swollen sometimes.

Here are some tips to take care of your tattoo

• If your tattoo is new make sure to keep it moisturised, but remember not to over do it in monsoon
• Make sure to keep your tattoo clean and dry as the chances of bacterial infection increase during this season
• Avoid stepping out or getting drenched in the rain as it might destroy your tattoo and cause itchiness
• Wear loose clothes as it allows the tattoo to breathe properly and does not rub your skin against tattooed skin
• If your tattoo feels swollen and itchy apply any antiseptic cream.

Pro tip - If the condition worsens visit a dermatologist
