1. Don’t use a razor
While getting a tattoo on your shaved head, avoid using standard razors to prevent painful nicks and cuts that can lead to infection. Instead, opt for safety razors that offer additional protection for your skin.
2. Bring earpods
Bring earphones or earbuds to enjoy music and audio when going for a tattoo session.
3. Take painkillers
Tattooing can be painful, so consider taking painkillers to ease the experience. However, avoid painkillers containing ibuprofen, which may delay healing and affect the tattoo’s quality.
4. Bring a bottle of water
Drinking plenty of water helps your body function correctly and supports faster healing. Also, eat a healthy meal before the appointment to have enough energy and prevent fainting.
5. Don’t rush
Allow your tattoo to heal fully before shaving your head. Waiting at least two weeks, preferably four, ensures that any bumps, raised areas, or scabs have healed. Rushing the process can lead to complications like scabbing, peeling, or affecting the tattoo’s appearance.
Remember to gently shave your head once the tattoo is fully healed, using a fresh blade each time to avoid damage.
Ideally, wait for one month before shaving your shaved head tattoo, but if the healing process is quick and you want to showcase your new ink, you can do it sooner. Just make sure to prioritize your comfort and pain tolerance.
