Question for those of you who are tattoo'd

[CFH]

Should I use A&D ointment in the first few days after getting my tat (I got one today)? Or should I just use a lotion throughout the healing process? The guy who did the tat just recommended using lotion, but I have a friend who does tats (he lives in a different city), and he recommends using A&D for the first few days and then switching to lotion. What has worked for you?

[Diane]

I used Vaseline Intensive Care Extra Moisturizing lotion. Worked great for me.

I was told to stay away from ointments like A&D, Neosporin, or petroleum jelly.

By the way, how did it turn out? I see you didn't let the nerves talk you out of it.

Sorry, but I'll have to pm you tomorrow on that other issue we talked about, I have been busy all evening trying to resolve it. I will update you later.

I picked up some Glaxal Base (which I think is only made here in Canada), which I was told to use. It's hypoallergenic, perfume-free, lanolin-free, non-greasy etc., but I noticed it has Petrolatum in it, which made me worry about using it. Like I said, my friend who does tats recommended A&D, but I've heard mixed reviews on it. I'll probably just stick with the Glaxal Base and hope it turns out fine. I've never had any problems with my tats healing before, so I assume the lotion will be fine.

Nah, I was nervous, but I always am before getting a tat, I never let it get in the way though. It went fine, I'm thinking of getting the artist to do some cover-up work for me as well. I have a giant slightly abstract/tribal devil/demon-type thing that my friend drew across my back, but since it's not really representative of the person I am now I think I'll get it covered.

Take your time in PMing me, there's no rush, it's just a strange situation; one I hope you can resolve in a way that is satisfactory for yourself.

Yeah, I know how it is before getting a tat.

Well we have a guardian angel looking out for us, and she got her lawyer involved on our behalf, and it looks like it should be resolved sometime tomorrow. At least I hope so.

All I have to say is, karma is a biatch! Once the truth gets out, all those responsible, will end up looking like backstabbing, crying little biatches!

They'll get theirs. One of them already has, in a way.

Sounds interesting


My birthday is 2 weeks from today deciding if I want a tattoo right away or not.

Yes, he did get humilated pretty badly, but I didn't have a hand in that, someone else's hand took care of that.

The rest will get theirs, when they least expect it.

That's what VD uses to grease up his nort

From my understanding, that's what you recommended to him, no?

This is what you want to do... Also, rubit in. Not like crazy but don't leave it wet. It will cause the color to bleed.

I've been meaning to have this tattooed in my arm but I'm just afraid of catching STD.
