Tattoo! Did I get the correct stuff? Please, please help me with this?

Question

I hear A&D ointment is a great product to use on your new tattoo, so I bought mine tonight. I was reading the ingredients though and it has fragrance in it. It also has the two different types of oils in it. I heard its bad to apply anything with fragrance in it to a new tattoo, and what about the oils? It also says to keep it in a 20 degree temperature. Anyone want to help understand this better? Is it still ok to apply the ointment?

Answer 1

I personally use aquaphor but my best friend uses a&d on all of hers and her's heal very quickly!  when I get my next one I'm totally swiping hers lol

Answer 2

Go ahead and use it.  It should be fine.

Answer 3

I've used A&D on all of my tattoos, and they've all healed well. I haven't had any problems with it. I applied it 2-3 times a day for a week to two weeks, and didn't put anything else on it.

Answer 4

I cant rememberthe name  but you want to use the A&D in the brown package its brown and white... also eucerin works wonders...   and i know this sounds crazy but i use noxema cold cream... it smells awful but it helps heal really quick please no vasaline and try to stay away from neosporine

Answer 5

My artist advised me not to use A&D. He told me just to keep it clean and put lotion on it when it got dry. A&D pulls a lot of the ink out of your skin and can fade tattoos pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I used A&D on my first tattoo and that's exactly what happened.
