I have super sensitive skin and have been through it all..aquaphor is too heavy and isn't good for a sensitive skin type, and lubriderm is great if you want to apply it 20x a day. Gentle and light but I still find that if you have darker colors and/or black outlines, it doesn't hold the ink as well. There's a brand out of France, Derm-Ink which has both a soap and a balm, however the balm especially stands out as it is the perfect in-between in regards to consistency. It is non-scented and absorbs quickly but is highly emollient versus the other sticky A&D ointments.

too much cetaphil will make the tattoo shiney. idk why you thought vasaline would be a good idea! a&d ointment or tattoo goo is a better choice

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

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.

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

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.

A&D ointment or Tattoo Goo. 

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

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.

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