Do you have tattoos? - GoFuckYourself.com

DWB · 12-29-2004, 08:41 PM

I just got my first bit of ink almost 2 weeks ago (1/4 sleeve) and was wondering what some of you have used and found the best for ointment or lotion for care during the healing process. I have read so much conflicting information online I thought I would ask a few of you who may have a lot of tats and what you have found to be the best.

I have been told everything from normal ointment to Lubriderm to Visine to Preparation H. What have you found that results in the best color? I have been using some sort of ointment I got in Bangkok but I don't read Thai so I don't know exactly what it is, but it is what was recommended by the artist. I'm happy with my results, just curious what else is successfully being used because I am going to be out of this shit tomorrow.

Happy holidays,
DWB

For the first few days I use A&D Ointment then switch to Tattoo Goo or a non-scented lotion like lubriderm or curel.

ytcracker · 12-29-2004, 08:49 PM

just lots of lotion scent free lubriderm after 36 hours or so when the tattoo is dry

I'm uploading a pic of my last one, which I got 5 years ago. I used a lotion with no dyes, fragrances or anything like that to put on it while it was healing..nothing else. And the color is pretty good still, considering I always have my hair up when I go outside, so the sun beats on it. The black needs to be re-done, but the colors are still vibrant. I would like to get it updated soon though.

The only thing to worry about is keeping it clean and not let it get crispy dry.

LMAO, Prep H is good for imflammation from close encounters with Nair, though...found that out the hard way when I tried to Nair my underarms. Owie!

myjah · 12-29-2004, 09:07 PM

A&D Ointment and let it breathe as much as possible to keep the color.

DWB · 12-29-2004, 09:59 PM

How long was it before you could shave over it?

Violetta · 12-29-2004, 10:01 PM

tattooes can be really ugly. Show us a pic

pornguy · 12-29-2004, 10:01 PM

I dont have any, but a I have heard some friends say 100% cocobutter.

Gunni · 12-29-2004, 10:02 PM

I used tabasco sauce

NaughtyAllie · 12-29-2004, 10:03 PM

I could never get a tattoo because I'm a pussy. Pain scares me. I just had my ears pierced two years ago.
You guys are brave!

Give it a couple weeks to fully heal even a month if you could, I have one on my arm and i waited about 4 weeks before i shaved it to be safe.

Did the guy not shave you before he put it on, or did you just grow the hair back?

Hot Visions · 12-29-2004, 10:17 PM

I like tattoos. i got like 7 and probably geting more over time

XxXotic · 12-29-2004, 10:48 PM

No tattoos for me. My mother told me to imagine how a tattoo would look once the skin started sagging with age. Grossed me out so much that I don't dare get one.
