I just got a tattoo on Tuesday night. I am at work all day until 8PM, I don't have any Neosporin to keep it mosturized, all I could scrounge up from co-workers is Aloe Vera Gel (used to relieves burns, sunburns, etc) and Suave Mosturizing Cocoa Butter Lotion. Would either one of these be okay to use for the time being?? I need help ASAP. Thanks!

I was told by the artist to use Neosporin for 3 days, all artists give a little different care instructions, I was just curious if the Lotion or Aloe Vera would be okay.

Just checked, both have some sort of alcohol. Lotion has Cetyl Alcohol and the Aloe Vera has Alcohol 40-B SD (if anyone knows the difference). Oh what to do what to do...

Everyone tells me not to use Neosporin. Is there a reason why? That is what I was told to use by my artist for a few days after I got my tattoo. All of the artists in that particular shop tell everyone to use Neosporin for a few days. Seeveral of my friends and family members have gone there also and have used the Neosporin as reccomended and their tats healed wonderfully.....

I work for my dad, co-workers are not random people, they are mostly family and if not then close friends of the family.
