Try natural oils such as almond, kukui or tea tree. These are very soothing and will help heal the tattoo quickly. AVOID all wax and petroleum based products. They clog pores. Avoid too much antibacterial soap as this is very drying. You can find these oils at health stores and they are used for all kinds of skin irritations with great success. Google them.
DONT LISTEN TO HER! Just use motoroil to heal your tattoo!
is a light facial, oil free, lotion good? and for how long? the lotion is called Every Man Jack.
Godamnit, my tattoo guys told me to use A+D and now i think its begining to pull out. FML
Is aveeno is light weight lostion ?
You should never use petroleum based products to care for your tattoo. The best thing for healing an abrasion (a tattoo is a controlled abrasion) is air. Petroleum based products prevent air from reaching the tattoo, thus complicating healing. Light coats of fragrance-free lotion, no sun, not picking at it and trying to keep things from rubbing on it are the most important factors in a nicely healed tattoo.
My artist tole me to use Vitamin E Ointment, it keeps my skin nice and moist and does not irritate
i am using white petrolatum jelly is tht a bad idea?
why the fuck do i have to be the onlyl dumbass here. everyones getting all these fancy fuckin creams n shit. i used fuckin vasceline and savlon and got told it was a bad idea. i seriously give up
