I keep getting such mixed up and opposing information and advice. So I wanted to see if I could get an experts opinion.
I got my first tattoo. Its not very big. About the size of half a dollar bill (not a half dollar coin, the bill cut in half) its above my breast, but up close to the shoulder on the left side.
The problem I am having is that I can't figure if I am supposed to dry it out and DON'T lotion it, or lotion it like crazy and DON'T dry it out. Also people tell me cover it, and someone else says DON'T cover it.
Lucky my sister already got her first tattoo last year, and I know about the whole 'has someone set your tattoo yet' didn't fall for that one LOL.
Lately I have been washing it in the morning with soap free, fragrance free, hypoallergenic body wash. And then lotion it with lubriderm daily moisture fragrance free and hypoallergenic.
It seems to be doing pretty good. Only scabbing a little bit. And it doesn't burn or itch hardly at all. And its only a tiny bit red now
Any advice?
