It’s all personal preference, just use a good unscented lotion such as Lubriderm, Curel, etc. I also use 100% pure shea butter which works well for me.

you should put some lotion on, especially since you are in england where its cold most of the time. unless its humid in england?

well no, but usually the colder the climate the less relative humidity there is in the air, therefore drying out your skin.

^ This.

Lotion isn’t going to do anything to preserve your tattoo; it will simply help keep your skin moisturized so your tattoo looks its best. Many people recommend lotions containing Vitamin E, but the Vitamin E will never reach the dermis and thus does nothing to help preserve your tattoo. If you want a healthy dermis, eat healthy (e.g. foods rich in Vitamins E, C, & A).

but keeping your skin healthy so your tattoo looks its best is a part of the process to preserving your tattoo. but i agree, eating healthy and having general good health is the best way to keep your tattoo at its best, along with sunscreen when you are going to be in the sun for long periods.

Hey Wardy what is this about sunblock? I thought you said you lived in sunblock err England! Come down to Oz and we will show you Sun 40 today (and that’s Celcius), forget the sun block, in doors with the Air Conditioner.

I just wanted to say that it will simply help keep your skin moisturized so your tattoo looks its best. Many people recommend lotions containing Vitamin E, but the Vitamin E will never reach the dermis and thus does nothing to help preserve your tattoo that’s it..
