    I left my bandage on for 5 hours and took it off and washed it. There is still ink from the transfer paper (I got a UV tattoo in white) and it’s blue in parts.

    Should I try and wash this off or is it no problem? I’m afraid of damaging it, but I’m also afraid of getting a blue tattoo.

    Hi

    You need to bathe the area and pat dry very carefully.
    The excess ink should wash away but don’t scrub at it.

    2nd question

    I’m staying at a shitty cottage for the next week that has water that isn’t fit for drinking. Is it okay to wash my hands/tattoo in this water?

    Hi

    Boil it first or use bottled water. That is open wound and you wouldn’t want to rub a load of bacteria into it.

    I am being very cautious but better safe than sorry.

    Take Care
