Summary: Learn about using lotion on new tattoos with expert tattoo care instructions in this free body art video clip.
"Hi, my name is Lefty at 1603 Tattoos in Tampa, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village this is tattoo care. After the two days of using your ointment, you want to go to a lotion. You want to make sure that you lotion is non aloe or non perfume cause any products like that will irritate your tattoo and you want to use the same application at least three times a day throughout the whole remainder of your tattoo. Because of the location depending on where it is it will crack up so that way with the lotion on there it will keep it nice and moist. You don't want to keep it on to where you can't breathe but you still want to keep it moist. The lotions you want to use is non perfume, preferable a white lotion a lot of people use products either Vaseline intensive care, Lubriderm but whatever works for you, work with that. Don't use anything as fas as tattoo, Gizmo because it might not work for your skin so just a non aloe non perfume lotion, it will be great for you."
