What do you mean by wash it? After getting a tattoo, and after you remove the cling film each time, give it a gentle wash with some warm soapy water. Then apply your cream. If you're past the stage where you need to use the cling film, just do the same before applying the cream again.

If you apply a layer of Bepanthen to it before you shower, it will act as a waterproof barrier.
