vasaline is good. but it's gets all over everything..

i just got a keri unscented lotion.. worked well.

i have 5 now.. but the first two i got like.. 2 years ago, and tig has this lotion that was for the itching after tattoos but they don't make it anymore.

I cant use most lotions because of animal ingredents (i'm vegan)

So i think most of this stuff is out.

which sucks. *iches more*

that lotion is really good.. you'd have to read up on the ingredients to make sure it's vegan friendly though.

Both of the guys that did my tattoos told me NOT to put vaseline on the tattoo during the healing process. They made a strong point about it and they even said why but I can't remember right now.

yeah i just put a gentle lotion on it that was unscented cause it was getting dry and itchy..

i think vasaline is just too heavy

basal cream
its th base of all creams, its expensive, but wont cause any reaction. its usually the shit the tattoo artist will give you a little free bottle of.
this stuff also cures that really dry pink flakey skin shit. its a wicked investment.
my brother used bactine for his foot tattoo and he liked the way it worked, but i stuck with the basal cream for both of mine.

I totaly remember that Prep H cream story.

I asked my artist said to leave it for 3 days then use any lotion i want.

:) patchouli cream rules all.
