I use to use A&D but my artist told me not to use it for full color pieces so i use Aquaphor

All I did for my tattoos was wash it gently with dial antibacterial soap and water... apply a&d ointment after every wash.. wrapped it in plastic wrap..gave it 2 hours of breathing time before cleaning and covering..did that only for a week..the next week I didn't apply any plastic wrap..only applied ointment while it was scabbing to avoid the intense itching feeling. I had less swelling, redness, and itching..it took only a full 14 days to completely heal

Even bigger mistake is when the artist presses the needles in too deep and the ink bleeds out.

The best aftercare product for tattooed skin is a liquid called H2O. Not many realise it but it is the best moisturiser for your skin and body.

Odd name... nuclear balm...lol also, the very best tattoo healing process comes from derms like saniderm or tegaderm... my body is covered and my colors still pop after years. Leave original bandage on for 24 hours, after that... remove it and wash with antibacterial soap. Then cover with the derm and leave on for 4-6 days. Then get in the shower with cool water and slowly peel the derm off while applying water. After that, wash again with antibacterial and use lubriderm non scented lotion, 2-4 times daily. If it itches or feels dry... apply lotion. This will heal your ink in about a week.

Honestly it all depends with my experience I never covered up any of my fresh ink in anything I just use coconut oil or aquafora 3-4 times a day to keep it wet, my artist says a wound won’t heal if it can’t breath, a man can’t fight if he can’t breath if that makes sense plus all my ink still looks fresh to this day
