Aftercare, the unglamorous half

Half of a good tattoo happens after you leave the studio. Keep it clean, moisturise thinly, don't pick the scabs, stay out of pools and lakes for a few weeks, and keep fresh ink out of the sun. Your artist's instructions beat anything you read online — follow theirs.

Bay St. Louis sits about 30° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter's the classic tattoo season: fresh ink stays covered and out of the sun while it heals, and nobody's tempted by the lake.

The sun point deserves emphasis: UV fades tattoos, and it fades new ones fastest. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit if you want it to stay sharp.

Tattoo smarts for Bay St. Louis

No mapped studios yet, but the vetting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Aftercare is half the tattoo. Follow the artist's instructions, not your friend's. Keep it clean, keep it moisturised, keep it out of the sun.
• Don't pick the scabs. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
• A second opinion is fine. Consult two studios if you're unsure. Good artists respect it; only the insecure ones mind.
• Keep the bandage on as directed. Second-skin or cling wrap timelines vary by artist. Follow theirs, not a forum's.
