hell yeah…

Answer #2

The only things you should ever put on a tattoo is Curel lotion or A and D ointment.

Do not use Vaseline, coco butter, or aloe vera ever.

I used to work at an upscale tattoo shop. All you use is a thin layer of A and D or Curel lotion on the tattoo.

Do not pick the scabs or itch it because you will pull out color.

Answer #3

vaseline is good ..I used Vitamon A &D ointment which is what the tat artist recommended… Dont put on too think tho because it can take out color, but use lightly and rub in as often as you can.

Answer #6

I’ve realised that coco butter helps with like everything I put mine on cuts and bruises so I think it would be okay.
