I have 10 tattoos and I've always used non- fragrant soap (cetaphil) and A&D ointment the first couple of days, wash with soap and pat dry, rub in the A&D really well, don't leave a shine so maybe blott with paper towel. Then after the 2 days I use non-fragrant cetaphil lotion till peeling is done. Works Great for me!
Its a new style of tattooing called water color, where the colors don't have black lines surrounding them. The purple and blue is def ink.. Just looks like the woman's head should have some too, to me. Strangely bare ...
It is a watercolor tattoo. What do you mean if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all? Are you implying that you dont have anything nice to say michelle?
They are! I'm an artist though, so my eye is drawn to the sharp line of color going through her neck.. Everything else is flowy, but that seems ubrupt and separates her head from the rest of the piece.. Idk. Not trying to be critical, just food for thought!
I'm an artist though.... Lol anyways I think it's perfect the way it is, I see how the color is hugging them and more color would take away from the embrace. That's the cool thing about tattoos, you with help, are the artist. It's rad we all see through different eyes, all of them artistic
I used coconut oil only on my last one and it worked great, way better than A&D ever did. (I'm actually told most artists hate a&d because it pulls ink up out of the skin. The ones I've used it on definitely didn't heal as bright ) I've used coconut oil and tea tree oil on my most recent one, and its healed up great!
Someone told me that coconut oil would fade the colors, but to use something shea butter based. There are always so many conflicting opinions. Beautiful tat!
It couldn't hurt!
Beautiful tattoo
Try bag balm. Walgreens, CVS and stores like it carry it.
Colloidal silver Won't hurt. I would def. Put it on. I know nothing about tattoos but was wondering why is it purple and blue?
Thank yall! Its a watercolor tattoo those are my favorite colors! Lol
No, but I love this tattoo!
Stick with something mild, like aquaphor.
Have you looked at the ingredients for aquaphor? This is a natural group just fyi
Well tattoos are not really natural either soooooo....

There is a silver gel avoid bag balm. It's petroleum based and other chemicals. A calendula salve would work awesome too.
Awesome tattoo!
Love it!
Love the tat!
I always put coconut oil on my tats. Avoid anything with petroleum- can clog the pores
The piece is very pretty but why are the watercolors cut off on (I'm presuming) your head?
I wondered if she was covering an old one or if it was bruising?

Thank yall!
African shea butter or coconut oil!!
Coconut oil. Hands down!
I don't get it? Are those bruises? You know how if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all>>>>>>....
Read all the comments it's a tattoo style called water color tattoo
No one has said anything rude. Just advising her what to use/not to use. Its water color and beautiful. JS
Thank yall, i have a feeling michelle was being hateful.
Coconut oil!!

Why are the colors cut off on the womans/your head?
That's just how i wanted it, she asked if i wanted to add to it but i thought it was perfect.
Ohh OK
i just felt like the colors were kind of hugging the two.

So beautiful!!!
Lookup the saran Wrap healing method. It worked amazing for all of mine.
Thank you
But it needs air to heal... Wouldn't this just enclose it and encourage germs to breed?
Mine all look amazing after using this method.

Now i also read that i could use dr. Bronners. Ive been using the baby one.

Yes to silver! Beautiful tattoo... Owie spot!
Thank you! It was tough lolol the outline was the worst. My brothers whole back is covered and i dont see how he did it lol
I just got my back done, too... I'm about half way finished. She still needs her face, nipples and color
Wow. That is stunning!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
At first I thought you were bruised and I was thinking wow that would be beautiful.. Then I saw the comments haha! I love this
Thank you!

I actually have wondered if CS would react with the aluminum I'm told is in tattoo ink?
what? That's toxic! I didn't know that was in tattoo ink!
I was told its in there.. I haven't been able to confirm it though, and haven't found any research on it yet.
And yes, I know (now) that it's bad, im wondering- if there is aluminum in ink- if a heavy metal detox after its all healed would help?

not sure
Here's my last guy, a chocolate frog I had done at Orlando since it's Harry Potter themed.
Use coconut oil
Someone told me that coconut oil would fade the colors, but to use something shea butter based. There are always so many conflicting opinions. Beautiful tat!
Thank you I'll probably alternate between coconut oil and Shea butter
avoid anything with alcohols or glycols in it.
Yes also put rosemary in the oil u use its n infection fighter
I've used colloidal silver and lanolin
I'd use lanolin or coconut oil. Or cs ointment. Love the TAT!
Thank you
