Any ways, heres some of them...

[Tat&Tu]

I gotta agree with Ironhead on the choice of oitments.......alot of these people may or may not have tatoos or sound tatoo advice, no offense intended everyone, but I have two sleeves, tats on my front and back and my back calf area. Most tattoo artist will tell u that u shouldn't use any petroleum based ointments or oils on your tattoo and only use a very thin layer certain ointments (vaseline or neosporin) have been know to fade the true potential of your tattoos color. Thats the reason! Now u say you got it on ur back calf area? Nice I got a tribal smoke scene with a skull in the mist of it in the same area, u may experience some pains during healing with walking, sorry but if you get it it may not go away til your tattoo peels! But don't worry it'll be ok and worth it in the end! The more u get tats the less they will hurt as u go!

Most shops will reccomend A&D oitment.

I do not listen to them, anymore. The ink in your tattoo, is a water based pigment. Use of a petroleum (A&D, Vasoline, Neosporin) pulls pigment out.

All but my skull one ive used petroleum products on, and they are faded.

All I do is, wast the tattoo 5 times a day for the first few days, with dial soap, but you can use any liquid non fragrent soap. Then use Lubroderm lotion 3 times a day to keep it moist.

Using that method, my skull took about a WEEK to fully heal. When I was doing what the shop told me to do, it took almost 3 weeks on average.

Quick question for those of you with a few tats-when I got my Cheshire Cat on my shoulderblade, it itched like CRAZY while it was healing. It was bad. I know a bit of itchiness is normal with healing, but none of my other tattoos itched like this. Does it have to do with the gauge of needle they use? I know he used a pretty big filler needle to do almost all of it. I'm just curious, because the healing was worse than getting the tattoo, and I always thought that was weird.

itching represents healing... so maybe he went a bit deeper than normal? or perhaps it was being irritated by your clothing?

He was in the Marine Core and lived his life as a Marine.
