    you know how they say two weeks keep you tattoo moist with lotion. when do you normally stop using lotion? or do some of you guys keep putting lotion on your tattoo well after a month has passed?. whats your opinion on using they lotion do you stop after the two weeks or keep doing it after some months.

    yep, all my tattoo’s heal perfectly as well, i think of it this way: the more you wet the tattoo the softer the scab gets which means it’s easier to come off.

    what i amtalking about is after the scab falls off do you use lotion cause my scabs fell off a week ago but i still wash and put lotion on it.

    I dry wrap for a couple of days then use unscented lotion like Cetaphil, Aveeno, or Lubriderm. For the first couple of days I add Tea Tree Oil (antiseptic) to the lotion. After it is fully healed (a month or so) I’ll still use moisturizer every day or so. Between moisturizer and sunblock and depending on air conditions (dry/moist) I’ll be doing it from now on.

    I never stop using lotion it’s good for your skin. And that could be the reason everyone thinks I’m 10 years younger then I am.

    I don’t use anything on my skin after my tattoo’s have healed, probably never will.

    With my artist, he usually has me keep it wrapped for a few hours and then unwrap it and clean it up really well. Then after it has fully dried I usually start applying a thin layer of Lubriderm unscented lotion a few times a day with usually rewrapping it the first night before bed. I apply lotion to my tattoos on a daily basis but that is my personal preference.

    I personally lotion my tattoos every time I shower. Which is rarely.
    I’m a bath kinda guy. 😉

    I keep lotion anywhere I might be. If I’m lookin dry then I lather up.
    At least lotion regularly for the first few months.
