My tattoo is peeling. Should I continue to use the Skin mousturizing cream the shop gave me?

I have a fairly large tattoo piece of a phoenix. The stuff I use is H2Ocean care. It's aftercare cream for tattoos. Will it ruin my tat if I continue to use it 4-5 times a day?

You can continue applying the cream 4-5 times a day provided you're only applying a thin layer. A part of the healing process is to let your tattoo heal. Don't apply too much cream and ensure that the cream is evenly spread out.





If H2Ocean isn't working for you, try Savlon. I use Savlon Antiseptic Cream by Johnson %26amp; Johnson for all my new tattoos. Their tagline says it all...Soothes, Heals and Protects. All my tattoos have healed well and it did wonders for the itchiness.





If you can't get Savlon from the pharmacy, try getting Soov. Soov is another antiseptic cream that is pretty darn good. Soov is by Ego Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd.

Reply:peeling is natural and yes still use the cream. don't pick the scabs or help it peel by taking it off, you will ruin the color of your tattoo.


i know i have three and i just couldn't wait for that last piece to fall off so i took it off and now i have a white mark where it is suppose to be black.


moisturizing is the best for it. don't let it dry out.
Reply:No it will not kill the color even if you use it 20 times a day. It keeps the color in them.
Reply:yes you should still put something on it. your tatoo is suppose to peel. you'll be fine
Reply:No, keep using it. I still moisturise a few times a day, for about a month AFTER they have apparently healed.
Reply:Keep using it, mosturizing the dry skin will help it heal naturally.
