So, to answer the question, yes, Aquaphor is safe for use on new tattoos. Now that you know Aquaphor is good and safe enough for tattoo use, here are the positive and negative aspects of using this amazing ointment. Tattoos are technically open wounds, and wounds will scab naturally. For all intents and purposes, Aquaphor is occlusive. The worst thing about getting a tattoo is the itch when it finally starts healing up. A 14oz jar retails for around 15 pounds on Amazon, but you can probably get it cheaper at supermarkets or pharmacies nearby.
Remove the cling film your tattooist used to protect the tattoo. This will break down the blood, pus, and plasma, so your skin can finally breathe. Anyway, this step is extremely important for brand-new tattoos. You can either air dry the skin or pat it gently with clean cloth or kitchen roll. A thin layer is all you need to protect your new tattoo.
That said, make sure you apply that thin layer evenly to ensure the tattoo underneath heals properly. We highly recommend using After Inked vegan tattoo aftercare lotion. The entire team here absolutely loves this lotion! Here are their similarities and differences:. Healing and nourishing: Aquaphor has both panthenol and glycerine to heal and nourish the skin.
Summary: Honestly, picking one over the other is a personal preference. This is because different methods are used by different artists, and they may also be able to recommend specific advice to the size and location of your tattoo.
Your tattoo artist might have a specific way of dressing the wounds. At Mission Ink, for example, many artists use the transparent Tegaderm dressing, which is placed directly on the wound, shielding it from infection and friction so that it can heal properly. Again, follow whatever your tattoo artist advises, because she or he will best know what works for the conditions at hand.
Be sure to use a gentle cleanser every day as the wounds heal, which will help neutralize any bacteria prior to applying ointment and lotion. He and Bhanusali both recommend Aquaphor for this. Kuo and dermatologists all agree on one product to avoid: petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Kuo says it can trap moisture, dirt, and bacteria underneath itself, and is typically too thick, not allowing the tattoo to breathe. Advancements in the skincare industry have greatly evolved over the past few years.
There are several excellent all-natural tattoo aftercare products, formulated specifically for tattoo post-recovery and healing. Consider choosing one instead of the baby's diaper rash ointment. Ok, now let's discuss Inked Ritual. We've had people ask us if Inked Ritual and Aquaphor are the same type of skincare product. And the answer is no, not at all.
Inked Ritual is a Tattoo Care product formulated exclusively to enhance, restore and protect healed tattoos from fading. This intensive skin rejuvenating serum, uses transdermal technology that penetrates and transports potent active ingredients deep into your tattooed skin. The purpose and function of Inked Ritual is to keep your skin healthy, by boosting collagen production while slowing skin aging.
Being a serum, Inked Ritual's molecular structure is lightweight, non-greasy and will not seal, suffocate or clog your skin's pores like Aquaphor. Another major difference between Inked Ritual and Aquaphor, is not just the advanced serum technology, but also the bio-active ingredients that Inked Ritual contains. Inked Ritual is toxin free. Our hands and the hands of our friends, family, lovers, and children are all equally filthy.
Do not touch your tattoo unless you have freshly washed your hands. Keeping your new tattoo clean is Rule 1 in the healing process and washing your tattoo a few times a day will avoid a potential infection. During this two week healing process, you will also want to avoid prolonged water contact. Yes, of course you can shower, and washing your new tattoo a few times a day is encouraged - but you shouldn't submerge your tattoo in baths, hot tubs, swimming pools, or salt water.
You'll want to avoid all of that during your first weeks with a new tattoo. DO: Stay out of the sun, and if you can't You will feel your fresh tattoo burning if it's exposed to sunlight. Listen to your body, if your tattoo feels hot and irritated, stay out of direct sunlight. If you must be out in the sun, keep that baby covered - or grab some gentle sunblock. DON'T: Pick or scrub your scabs.
Your tattoo isn't falling out and there is no cause for alarm! Scabbing is a very normal part of the tattoo healing process.
