1. Clean the tattoo with an ointment or lotion, do this on a regular basis so it does not get infected. Do not use products with tiny or scent, it could ruin he tattoo.
2. Steer clear of hot tubs and water for up to two weeks. Do not swim anywhere or take showers, take baths instead so you don not get the tattoo wet. If you use soap, make sure you remove it quickly.
3. It is normal to experience some peeling or scabbing after a couple days of getting your tattoo. This is normal. However, if you do not like the peeling gently rub it off with a moist towel but be sure to be gentle.
4. Itching is normal as well, but do not pick or scratch as it can ruin the tattoo. As silly as this sounds, a slap will help stop the itch without you ruining the tattoo.
5. Never expose your tattoo to the direct sunlight; the UV rays are detrimental in trying to preserve your tattoo, as it causes it to fade if there is not proper sun protection. Make sure to use sunscreen.
Cherry blossom tattoos are some of the most popular tattoo designs for women currently. The beauty and delicate nature of a cherry blossom can't be denied. In both Japanese and Chinese cultures the cherry blossom is full of symbolic meaning and significance. Before deciding to get a cherry blossom tattoo design it makes sense to understand the symbolism and deep cultural connections and meaning that this tattoo might hold. After all the best tattoo designs are ones that hold a great deal of symbolic significance. Typically the tattoo that is universally regretted is the one that was gotten while out with a bunch of friends just because they were getting one. So don't fall into the trap and regret your tattoo later in life. Instead if you are planning on getting a tattoo at least take the time to research the symbolism and meaning behind it and see if it speaks to you and if the ideas are significant in your life.
