Tattoos & Piercings

Well it's over and done with but my suggestion would have been to NOT do it until you could give it more time to heal without boots/sweat/germs.

Keeping it wrapped is not a good idea because all it will do is trap the bacteria. Wear good fitting socks and lotion it like normal before putting them on but don't over moisturize it either.

At this point you have to hope that you're a good healer and know that you WILL need touching up on it in the future because feet are one of the hardest spots to heal in the best circumstances and need touching up frequently.

My husband (when not deployed w/ the NG) is a civilian cop... When he got tatted on his chest, his bullet-proof vest constantly rubbed it, but we kept moisturizing it w/ the lotion, and it turned out perfectly - no issues with color! It did flake off scab a lot more then what any of our normal tats did, but I would almost think you would rather have dry scab flake off then a big chunk of wet scab!

I would just wear comfy cotton sock, and try moisturizing it a little extra during the day! You could also just try placing some dry gauze over it w/ some tape to wick moisture away and keep it clean. Good luck!
