tattoo aquaphor
Is it normal for my neck to be stiff and sore after a neck tattoo?
I just got a tattoo on my neck on Saturday, and I am having a lot of stiffness and a burning pain around the tattoo area. I think it may be from me not moving normally since the tattoo is there. How long does the “sun burn” pain last? My tat artist said to wash it 6-10 times a day with anti bacterial soap and Aquaphor 1 to 2 times a day. And I have, so let me know! Any other information is most helpful.
Pain and stiffness lasted about a week for me, so I’d say you’re fine. However, washing it 6-10 times a day seems way crazy excessive. Doing so could be drying the area out and adding to the discomfort, actually. You should only wash it with antibacterial soap 1-2 times a day, ideally at the end of showering to make sure it’s clean. Then apply a thin coat of your lotion whenever it feels particularly itchy or tight.
