neosporin is really the best thing to use.

NOTHING......for the first few days.
If you have to put anything on it later on, some vitamin e moisturizing cream will do.That's only if it gets really itchy.
Do not put neosporin,polysporin, antibiotic creams,Vaseline,or anything else on your tattoo. (even original Tattoo Goo I find is too greasy on a fresh tattoo)
Putting too much cream on a fresh tattoo can make it open to picking up dirt, bacteria and dust particles in the air. This can make you more prone to infection and your tattoo may not heal as well.
As for stinging, tattoos normally will feel like a sunburn for the first few days but its just something you have to deal with. Its part of the tattoo process. Try not to pick or scratch it and don't submerge it under water.

You should really just suck it up, it will quit stinging in a day or two, anything you put on it could mess with the ink and the healing process, if you do get to the store get some bag balm, it comes in a green can, you can put a light coat on your tattoo to keep it from drying out.

It is best not to use regular creams or lotions. DO NOT use baby oil or Vaseline. They should have given you some stuff called- Tattoo Goo. Go back and ask for it. It is what is best to use.

regular hand lotion or vaseline from home, keep it moist for a few days. it will help it heal better.
