i got a half sleeve (3/26) and i think its done peeling, should i lotion on it?

Question

or should i continue to use aquaphor for a little while more



also, what is the best lotion that you use

Answer 1

Surely your tattoo artist gave you instructions. Do what very YOUR artist told you to do. Mine had me using Ink Fixx, My wife's artist has her on Cetaphil........You are going to get people telling you Vaseline, diaper rash creme, hemorrhoid creme, motor oil, WD40, Grey Poupon Mustard ......this is the internet man....believe about a 10th of what you hear. Do what your tattoo artist told you to do.......barring that.....Follow Kristina's advice...

Answer 2

My artist told me to use aquaphor 3x a day for 3 weeks and don't need to switch to anything else. What did your artist tell you???

Answer 3

What directions were you given? I'd follow them to a T if I were you...

Unscented white hand lotion is best.... I recommend lubriderm intensive care.

Answer 4

if your not sure if its done peeling go to the store u got it from and ask, or ask someone and show it to someone who has a tatoo. if it is done peeling, then yeah, i would put moisturizer on it, but again phone ur tatoo shop and ask for a good brand or one that is safe to put on.

Answer 5

I used Cetaphil, it worked really well (started using it once my tattoo stopped peeling).

Answer 6

just use fragrance free lotion. it doesn't really matter what brand. as long as it says fragrance free on it. i use cetaphyl.

Answer 7

the best cream to use for tattoos is bepanthan (nappy rash cream) and yes start using it now

Answer 8

whatever your artist has told you to use
