Vaseline

[Geared]

Use Vaseline intensive care but be very careful when applying that you dont scratch your skin with your nails and remove any scabs that are still healing.

If the guy giving your tattoo is rubbing vaseline on you throughout your session then its safe to say that it works.

Just use a nice thin layer to cover it up dont gob it on like icing on a cake.

You can get the big tub for your house and the little pocket size vaseline jar to bring with you to work. Set your timer on your phone to beep every hour so you can remember to keep it covered at all times.

No, and I wouldnt be too sure that Vaseline is the best for it. Some people argue that the vaseline can fade the colors away ao do some research first.

If vaseline fades it then why is it used by so many?

[verplague]

people get misinformation all the time

[Swagg]

The amount of fading that happens from vaseline is so minimal it shouldnt even matter

Artist use Vaseline because there hand in a glove can slide against your skin when tattooing. They use it after words to stop the bleeding and to keep the paper towel, or saran wrap from pulling up any blood it made have dried on. Unscented dermal lotion is the only thing used to keep a healing tattoo hydrated.
