aftercare lotions in uk?
quick question, I got a tattoo done up about a week ago. I've been using bepathen thrice a day since then. The tattoo currently is in the peeling stage. A friend told me Its better to switch to a lotion after the first week than to keep applying the ointment. If so , could somebody please recommend an unscented lotion available in the uk for aftercare? I have Boots right next to my place. They didnt have H2ocean or aquaphor. thanks in advance

I think Black Cat aftercare is in the UK, I think you have to order it online though.
I found some Nivea fragrance and alcohol free moisturiser for sensitive skin, maybe you have that around somewhere?

Do you apply Savlon all the time or just until the tattoo has healed?

i use bepanthen for a few days then when its starting to peel move over to a non fragrent moisturising lotion. does the trick well.
one thing with the bepanthen is it can be a bit thick however you can make it less by warming up the cream first (put the tube in the airing cupboard or by a radiator). makes it loads easier to apply

i used savolon while it was peeling and healing because i find bepanthen to be too greasy and i was getting little spots in my ink and i fount that the savolon felt nice and cool which stopped me from wanting to itch my arm off
 once i stopped peeling and the top layer of skin had healed i just used a mild dove cream.
