Products for Tattoo Aftercare

There are many options to moisturize the tattooed area. Ideally, you should choose those products that are free of alcohol and fragrance. Common options include shea butter, cocoa butter, tattoo-specific cream, coconut oil, and healing ointments. Avoid purchasing scented lotions or creams. Harsh ingredients could damage your skin and irritate the wound. Also, do not apply sunscreen on the affected area until it is healed fully, as it would trap bacteria and clog pores. [3]
