Very first thing is DO NOT listen to your     
friends, they did not Tattoo you so why       
would they know whats best for your Tattoo.  
Second DO NOT put A&D ointment or any      
product that contains a petrolatum product    
in it. Why, it seals the skin from one of the   
Two things it needs most to heal Air and      
the O2 in it. Soooo what to do?

First is to keep your new Tattoo clean. Do    
this by washing it frequently for the firs 24   
hours with a liquid antibacterial soap. Wash   
with cool H2O first and then with a warm     
of H2O as you can stand, wash every 3 to 4   
hours or as the Tattoo feels tight and you     
see a film of plasma build up on top. If you   
New Tattoo has a bandage placed on it by     
the Tattoo Artist take this off with the first   
washing by soaking the bandage first and      
then DO NOT rebandage. You New Tattoo      
wash put into your Skin while the Artist      
used a natural Soap that we recommend for   
Aftercare also we use Dr. Broners Hemp and   
Lavender natural oil Soap, this can be found   
at most natural foods stores and upper end    
Markets.

Second is to Keep your skin soft and          
moist to promote healing and retain the       
color and intensity of you New Tattoo. Do     
this by using a natural skin moisturiser like   
Cocoa Butter or lotion which can be           
purchased a most any store including the      
famous Dollar Stores, we Recommend TatWax   
Natural Aftercare Balm which is a             
combination of natural ingredients the like     
Grape seed oil and Lavender in a natural      
base of Bees wax. When to use a skin         
moisturizer when your New Tattoo has        
stopped bleeding you can tell this by putting  
a paper towel soaked with Hot H2O on it, if   
when you pick it up and don't see blood on    
the towel its time for a skin moisturizer. Use
any pr
