I just got my first tat yesterday, and I have heard different suggestions from everyone. My tattooist gave me a sheet of instructions for things such as when to take the bandage off (1-3 hours... I left mine on for about 2. I've heard different tattooists give different instructions) and suggested lubriderm and a few others as far as lotion goes. I've gotten different product suggestions from everybody. Right now I've been using Antibacterial Softsoap to wash it several times a day and blotting it dry with a paper towel and using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E to keep it moisturized. I have been washing it VERY lightly with my fingers out of caution, and there is still a little blood on one of my fills, but I'm not sure if that's normal? Is it OK to rub a little harder with my fingers to get that off? I've had this tat for less than 24 hours, but I really really love how it came out. I want to make sure it's gonna stay that way!
