I have found that using a petroleum based jelly clogs the pores and it’s best not to use a lubricant during the tattoo.
After finishing the piece i put a very thin layer of A&D ointment on it and cover it. I advise my client to remove the bandage and wash it gently with antibacterial soap as soon as they get home and not to leave the wrap on for more than four hours. I suggest washing it at least three times a day and apply a thin coat of unscented body lotion during the healing process. keep it out of direct sunlight and resist scratching it. However, I believe each person is different and needs to find the after care that works best for them. The single best thing they can do is keep it clean.
I also think your just fishing, but I don’t mind.
