savage animal 6 Member Since: 8/31/07 Posts: 2922	I was told to NOT use petroleum jelly based stuff, thought Aquaphor was too similar, so I stayed away. A&D seems to be the consensus with what I was told, and also here mine looks good using the kukui nut stuff = ) You have ignored this user.

you can use A & D but i don't recommend it. It tends to make the fresh tat seep. The less crap you goop on your tatt the better it will heal. and PLEASE don't use anything petroleum based. if it starts to get dry and itchy, DAB not rub some fragrance free hand lotion on it. I personally use lubriderm on mine. All this expensive crap supposedly for healing tattoos is non sence. DO NOT DISTURB those scabs, I don't care how bad it fuckin itches. Don't let tight clothing rub against it, and for fuck sakes... DON'T PICK IT!!! I don't care if a scab is almost off except for one little spot, leave it alone. It will fall off when it's damn well ready. Any other questions let me know. You have ignored this user.

hcbbjj Member Since: 12/19/09 Posts: 2	aquaphor is great and wont promote scabbing. a&d works, but use it very sparingly because if you over apply it, you'll end up with thick thick scabs. You have ignored this user.

Warfront Inc Member Since: 12/19/09 Posts: 10	I couldn't agree more with the remarks about the A & D causing the tat to scab up. A tried and true method for me the last few years has been A & D on the first day and then simply Aveeno lotion (scentless of course) a few times a day for the next two weeks.

Saiga12 28 Member Since: 7/17/09 Posts: 84	I tried hot bathes in Skin-So-Soft when I started my back piece. It helped alot with the itching. I usually heal super quick, I have some what of a healing factor and barely bleed when getting tattooed. Other than that I do the normal A&D for a few days then switch to cocoa butter.
