Which Lotion Should You Use On A New Tattoo?
April 23, 2008
So you just got inked up a few days ago, and you’re now wondering what lotion you should use to keep your skin soft in the “after care” healing process? Good question!
There seems to be quite the debate on lotion usage in the days following a fresh tattoo, and there is good reason for that. A lot of the different views and arguments come from top professionals in the bodyart industry, who have literally spent years and years trying out different procedures, ointments, and lotions for healing a tattoo after it’s done.
The arguments seem to be appropriate though, but the problem is that there are entirely too many variables when it comes to skin types. Each person has unique skin, which may react differently to different types of after care lotions, so it’s often possible that what works best for your best friend, may end up giving you a rash or some other type of allergic reaction. Crazy, right?
Some artists recommend using nothing but lotion from the first day after the tattoo, some say to use anti-infection ointment and then lotion, and some professional artists say to never use lotion, as it’s not “clean”, and can turn into a possible breeding ground for harmful bacteria.
There’ve been a few specially designed lotions for tattoos (Tattoo Lube, and Tattoo Goo off the top of my head), and there are more and more coming out every day. Lubriderm was always a safe bet, although some people claim it stings when applied. The main thing you want to find is something with Vitamins A and D, and something that helps soothe and heal dry skin. Tattoo Goo is nice because it doesn’t contain lanolin (which some lotions do, and it can cause allergic reactions if you’re allergic to sheep’s wool), it’s fragrance free, and contains all the minerals and nutrients you need to get your skin back to normal. Here is another tattoo aftercare alternative that we recommend.
Make sure you get a clean lotion that is free of dyes and fragrances, and don’t get some cheap, store brand every day lotion, because not only could it cause irritation and infection, it could also lead to color leakage and similar negative side effects, and that’s the last thing you want after spending good money for the tattoo!
The best thing you can do is talk to your artist, and ask him what the latest and greatest is in aftercare lotions, and definitely go with his recommendations. If what he recommends is a bit more expensive than you thought it would be, it’s worth the extra $3-$5, because just remember, you just got a lifelong commitment with that new tattoo, and it’s in your best interest to take care of it the best you can!
