Thank you for that! Ive heard some say they use petroleum and others say not too, spoke with my artist to confirm today and she said to stay far away from them so ill be going out and picking up something else to use tomorrow. As for the soap im using Dial fragrance free 2-3 times a day (depending on what im doing that day)

Welcome
Why do people keep smothering their tattoos in petroleum products?

Bandage your tattoo with saran/plastic wrap allowing no air to get to the tattoo for the first 72 hours. Within those 72 hours remove the wrap every 4 hours and wash thoroughly with non-scented anti-bacterial soap. Re-apply wrap with new saran/plastic wrap. Repeat process for remainder of 72 hours. After 72 hours remove the wrap leaving the tattoo exposed and use an intensive care FRAGRANCE-FREE dry skin lotion such as Lubriderm. Apply lightly as needed and for as long as needed.

Heres hoping this works lol. This was the day I got it done. Its the match to my left arm which has a moon with stars and swirls. Nothing super fancy for me just yet 🙂

And thank you for your answer!
