I used tattoo goo I think it's called on one of my tattoos and really liked it. I bought it at the shop but I think I've even seen at Walmart

Cetaphil. My sister and I got our tattoos done by different artists and both recced the lotion for their upkeep.

Any unscented lotion with no dyes will work :) my tattoo artists always told me to put a tinyyyy amount of aquaphor on it too. Great stuff for tattoos!

Any cream used for babies bums is perfect and recommended. Bepanthen is what I've always used.

I was told to use A&D ointment for 2 or 3 days then start using Lubriderm after that. But any lotion without fragrances will work.

I second Yasmin M, bepanthen is great for tattoos, healed and unhealed. my tattooist recommends it.

A&D ointment or Tattoo Goo.

A&D and other ointments are only for the initial healing (up to 5 days or as instructed by your tattoo artist). After that use any fragrance free lotion. Cetaphil is good, I use nature's gate unscented lotion because its vegan.

Cetaphil or Lumbriderm are my faves, but really any lotion that's unscented and super moisturizing will do :)

NO VASELINE. I use Bepanthen ointment (not the cream), and my boyfriend swears by vitamin e cream as long as it's unscented and alcohol free. He used to use Invite but now it has alcohol in it so he's stopped.

I used a nappy rash cream, like bepanthen.. Work wonders! My tatt never peeled and stayed moist and healed in no time =]

Try to avoid Vaseline! It will slowly but surly faid partly!

I use aquaphor and I have a lot of tattoos.. After its healed use some type of sunscreen or lotion with SPF it keeps your tattoos looking new.. Sun damage causes the tattoos to get all ugly
