Tattoo Care Question

[Netix]

The Man got his first tat today, at long last. The leaflet said to use bepanthen, and you know, I'm sure I have some, but goodness knows where....

Does it matter what cream he uses, is amolin cream fine? (I hope so, that's what I gave him!)

Thanks!

When I got mine done they told me to use bepanthen or an antiseptic cream, to help it heal & to keep out infection

Use bepanthen. It has an antiseptic in it as well as nourishing qualities. Make sure the skin is fully dry after a shower before applying, as if moisture gets under the cream, that's when you get scabbing. I have got 4 tats done and always apply during the flaking stage.

bepanthen is only 10 bucks from the supermarket for a huge tube. We now use it as a general antiseptic cream You are better to fork out the 10 bucks than your hubby having to get it retouched.

Ooooooh. Okay..... Oops.

Yep, he said he'll get some tomorrow. Thanks for that!
