Can I Sleep Normally the First Night After My Tattoo?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

Yes. For larger tattoos, I usually cover the area with an absorbent pad, and for smaller tattoos I usually apply second skin, so the fresh tattoo should not stick directly to your bedding.

You can sleep normally, but if possible, avoid putting unnecessary pressure directly on the tattooed area during the first night.
