Now I know this is a really stupid question but I ran out of aftercare which is an oil. wild tiger rub, which is like deep heat, has a very similar consistancy but it for joints and is very strongly menthol. would this be any harm if I’m just trying to keep it moisturised til I get some more aftercare. Any ideas?
god no don’t put that on there. I have become a fan of dry healing. Since I have been dry healing I haven’t had the “itches” like I have had before.
I’m just dodgy about the cracking, especially with big blocks of ink! what I’ve started to do is use either bepanthen (which apparently fades colour) or a non-greasy cream or oil like ‘tattoo aftercare.’ not very imaginative, but if you put a thin layer on the first night and cover it back up, all the colour gets locked in..then just don’t shower for a week! haha, it’s a bit grungy but I find it’s best to be safe, unless you don’t pay for the touchups haha!
i have always dry healed and just washed tattoo with plain carex as there are loads less chemicals there and they have always healed perfect i hate to think what deep heat would feel like 😮
