Default Preparation H

Has anyone ever used Preparation H to heal tattoo's? I have a couple, and will be adding on to one in a few days, and want to make sure I keep all the colour in this time.
I have read qute a few forums on here already about aftercare, and they all seem to say the same thing. Use soap for the first few days, then a non-fragrence/alcohol lotion. I did these steps on the ones I already h ave, and the colour seemed to fae so quick. Is there anything anybody uses that keeps the colour in?
Thanks

Hi

I have used it with no problems and was quite effective but avoid the extra cooling one you want the plain type.

Otherwise tattoo goo, black cat etc are all good.

Take Care
Matthew
