There is some stuff called Ink fixx that is great. I got it at the tattoo place, or you can use A&D ointment. That you can get at Walmart or a drug store. Good luck

Get in touch with the tattoo artist and ask them. You should have gotten the answer before you even left the shop. Keep it clean, don't pick at it and use an unscented high quality moisturizer until you get in touch with the tattoo shop and ask all the questions you need to and please write them down. The mind is a funny thing and sometimes when you really need to know something it wimps out on you and forgets.

Id suggest for 1st week antiseptic creams as the tat is just like a graze and this will prevent any infection developing then air it out till the tat as healed, this is what i did when i got my tats and iv never had any proplems with infections.

Sometimes it is best to air the tatt out... If you have tried the antiseptic creams or vaseline and covered it up with cling wrap and it doesn't heal then try airing it out. Leave it alone and the the air dry it up, it will soon scab! I did the same for mine and my man has them all over his bod and never uses the creams...

Vitamin E&D ointment. You can find it at your local drug store. It stays moist and lubricated longer without penitrating the fresh tac. It also heals faster without fading your colors. My buddys do tac, so im speaking from experience, not what I heard.
Good LUck

If you had your tat done professionally, call them and ask what they recommend and if they sell it. If you had your home boy from next door do your tat, pray that it scabs, crusts over and peels off, because it's probably something you'll regret later anyway.

When I got mine they suggested I use A&D ointment which I did and it worked very well.
