New tattoo on leg, concerned about sleeping?

You're not supposed to use petroleum jelly or re wrap a fresh tattoo, they need air to breath and heal. Leave it uncovered. You can cover it loosely with the blankets or wear some lose pj bottoms to bed. Wash the tattoo and apply some ointment or white unscented lotion before you go to bed. Maybe try to keep the cat out of the bed over the next few days just in case. Unfortunately you can't control what you do in your sleep, if you happen to wake up then check your tattoo. It should be fine, I didn't have any problems with mine when I went to sleep and mine healed just fine. I think it's cute.
