So yesterday I had a tattoo done on my leg, this is my first 'big' one (i've got a small one between my shoulders) and i'm getting so anxious :(
I was told to wrap it in cellophane at night and when wearing clothes for a week to keep it clean and protected but I stupidly read things online saying that its bad to wrap it and it can get infected etc. So I started panicking. When I got home yesterday I cleaned it and put bepanthen on and let it be uncovered and then it came to bed time and I didn't know if I should cover it or not so I cleaned it, put bepanthen on, put on some loose pjs and went to bed but didn't get to sleep for ages as I was so worried about if I should of done what I did. In the morning it looked fine wasn't weepy or anything, got up cleaned it etc and let it be uncovered for the rest of the day while cleaning and putting bepanthen a few times and now its getting to bed time I'm worried about if I should put cellophane on or not :frown:
I know the tattoo artist knows best and my friends have had tattoos wrapped with no problems but i'm so worried :( I feel so silly
