Answer 1

usa vacelina y cubrelo con gasa para que no se reseque cuando se esta cicatrizando sentiras que pica pero NO TE RASQUES  te danaras la piel y el tatuaje.. mantelo limpio con agua y jabon ... es lo que yo hize cuando me hize los mios en Nicaragua .. si lo mantienes limpio y con vaselina cicatrizara bien.

Answer 2

Si, la vaselina es mala para tatuajes. Yo nunca la he utilizado en ninguno de mis tatuajes, ni en los de mis clientes.  Yo te recomiendo que uses jabón antibacteriano y crema Lubriderm.

It would be best for you to purchase the aftercare cream here in the US, and to take it down with you, rather than taking a chance and not finding it out there.

Here's tattoo aftercare info:

The life of your new tattoo is very dependant upon the care that it receives the first few days.  First, keep the tattoo covered with the bandage for at least 3 hours, if not longer or overnight.  If the bandage sticks to the tattoo, we recommend moistening the area.  This means get in the bath with the bandage on and take a hot shower or bath to loosen the bandage and the adhesive from the tape, remove the bandage carefully.  Also this will allow your pores to open, which will dilute any dried blood or release ink/pigment that ill not stay during this process.  A fresh tattoo may be tender, with larger/longer tattoo work this process is somewhat painful.  Once the tattoo is exposed wash it thoroughly, using your fingertips with liquid antibacterial soap and water.  Do not scrub your tattoo but do not faintly caress it, be sure to remove all surface blood and rinse off all remaining soap.  Wash your tattoo twice a day (once when you wash yourself) and secondly to remove and build up of dirt, weeping plasma, small debris, etc.  Always pat lightly to dry your tattoo, then with clean hands apply a light coat of Tattoo Goo, Tattoo Goo Lotion, Lubriderm, or white A&D ointment only.  The idea is to keep your tattoo moist and not greasy.  If your tattoo scabs, do not pick, for this will ensure fading or loss of color.  The tattoo will develop a dry flaking layer of skin, let the skin fall off naturally, NO PICKING!!  When your tattoo starts to itch, place a clean paper towel or paper over the tattoo and GENTLY  rub.  Do not manipulate the tattoo directly.



DO NOT APPLY VASELINE OR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS!

DO NOT USE NEOSPORIN OR OINTMENTS!

DO NOT APPLY ALCOHOL!

DO NOT PICK THE TATTOO!

DO NOR RUB OR SCRATCH THE TATTOO!

DO NOT SWIM FOR 10 DAYS!

DO NOT SOAK IN SAUNA, STEAM, OR HOT TUB FOR 10 DAYS!



After the skin has fallen off, there will be a period of adjustment for the new skin to form, sometimes giving the appearance of a faded look.  At this time it is advisable to use LUBRIDERM skin lotion, or TATTOO GOO LOTION for about 10 days after.
