Buy Tattoo Aftercare Products

Choose a product size suitable for the area your tattoo covers. If you have a small tattoo, such as a quarter-sized heart, then a small disposable packet (pillow pack) should do. However, if you're starting a full back piece or sleeves, then go for the economy size; you'll need it before you're done.

Consider products well publicized and/or touted. Many tattoo studios sell their brand of choice. For example, Tattoo Goo includes all natural ingredients and has a low incident of allergic reactions. Other well-known choices include Ink Fixx, Tattoo Magic, Black Cat and H2Ocean.

Random Tip: Create Sharp Eye Shadow Effects

Try an alternative product. Tattoo Therapy, which uses emu oil as its base, is one such product manufactured for the explicit purpose of caring for a fresh tattoo.

Use a lotion without added dyes or perfumes that can cause irritation. Many tattoo artists suggest just washing the tattoo with antibacterial soap and then using an unscented hand lotion such as Lubriderm during and after healing.

Skip products with 100 percent pore-clogging petroleum jelly. Although these products were once the most widely used aftercare choice, they hamper healing by not allowing the tattoo to breath and have no healing properties. Instead, try water-based products such as Aquaphor, which have very little petroleum jelly.
