contractor skin

ok so I hope everyone knows what I’m talking about. What is the best way to approach this type of skin ? if it is a custom client I’ll usually have them scrub the area once or twice a day with a loofah and apply lotion, for on the spot tattoos I use a bit of dettol on the skin to calm it down and sooth it …..I guess I’m just checking if anyone out there has some more ideas let me know anything would help

thank you in advance

i deal with it alot. usually if they make a appointmenti tell them to lotion the s&!t out of the area everyday prior to their appointment. then after the tattoo is applied cover w/ saran wrap. if they work w/ drywall,around sawdust ect. i tell them to cover w/a new pc in the a.m. wash it around lunch if possible,and apply a new one tho most people don't wanna carry saran wrap everywhere,if not i tell themto wear 2 loose layers to filter the dust and dirt, and keep clean and lubricated as often as possible
