thats odd.. i was told if i didn put lotion it wud scab up and effect the coulouring.. think u shud stay goin the way u did with the others and use the lotion.

Hi

You can go ‘dry heal’ but most ppl complain of the soreness and cracking of the skin.

Also the epidermis is actually layered with dead skin cells so if you just leave it dry all the time you can get a gooey build up that looks, smells, (and allegedly tastes) very unpleasant.

Personal choice really – me i would always go ‘wet’ over dry healing anytime.

Hey fellas am kicking 50 this year and when i was first tattooed over thirty year ago and up until only a few years ago, (about 11yrs), nothing was used or recommended. You just put up with the itch and if you did pick at them then you would suffer the wrath of the artist for ruining his work making spaces in his ink where the scabs were picked and ink removed. In the last ten year there has need a profusion of recommendations and contradictions of what is best. In my own experience the less products the better the outcome. My ink in the last ten years is as vibrant as ever and i use only one product called “tattoo aftercare” (TAC) which is made in scotland. This stuff is used by Britain’s top artists including Louis Molloy, he’s the head honcho of the TV show London Ink and is probably the UK’s most famous artist, (he tattoos David and Victoria Beckham, wonder if that helped? lol). But seriously this a is a guy with over 25yrs experience tattooing so if he say s its the best he’s come across then am there 😎 OOPs! forgot to leave a link so here it is http://www.tattooaftercare.co.uk
