Our first set of infused fats went to SC Labs, where results pointed to the olive oil as the most efficient absorption medium for THC. Chef Payton repeated the experiment and had the results tested by C4 Laboratories, who showed the clarified butter performing the best, followed by coconut oil.
One part of this is making sure you do not go swimming or soak your new tattoo in water for at least two weeks and up to four weeks, depending on the rate that your tattoo heals. During the weeks immediately after getting your new tattoo, you should consider it an open wound that needs to heal and seal itself.
Showering and gently pat-drying your tattoo is fine, but continued exposure to water can damage the tattoo. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and soaking in the tub for at least a week while the tattoo heals. Exercise can cause friction and depending on where your new tattoo is, that movement may slow the healing or not allow it to heal properly. As far as sun exposure goes, the sun will fade a tattoo over time.
