i would wait for about a month after your tattoo before you start shaving. i know youre tempted to, but why risk messing up your new tattoo?

Yeah, really.

Put away the razor until after your tattooed skin feels exactly like your un-inked skin.

Yup, not until fully healed. Don’t take any chances, wait at least a few weeks to a month.

I agree with everyone. we usually recommend that when the skin untightens and doesn’t have the stretched plastic look, and as long as it looks without a doubt normal, then you can shave. keep in mind your skin is still replacing cells and strength even after it peels!!!

even when it’s healed maybe look at those hair removal creams? someone from another site uses it and recommends it plus it’s not going to hurt your ink.

Wow. That would make me nervous. Anything that might disolve hair has got to have some kind of nasty chemical in it . . .
