Redness on a healing tattoo after four days. Is it concerning?

It is normal to experience redness and itching during the healing process of a tattoo. Applying a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno can help alleviate itching. Avoid using soap or cleanser on the area and only use water to clean it. After showering, gently pat the skin dry and apply moisturizer. Wearing cotton underwear and loose clothing can help the skin breathe. If the redness persists for more than 2 weeks without improvement, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
