Recovery cream after tatoo

billyhead

Folks,

Just wondering would this cream or E45 be suitable to use after getting a tattoo in the receovery stages?

Bepanthen is probably the best. Is a nappy rash cream you can get in any chemist!

Thanks for the info,

I have these in the house which I have used for Eczema. Would any of these do?

Id say germoline is too severe for a fresh tattoo, bepanthan is the best thing to use, only around €5 for a tube

Just one more question about receovery folks. How often per day should I apply the Bepanthen cream to the tatoo after I get inked and for how long i.e 2/3 weeks. I know it will probaly be explained to me on the the day I get it. Also would it be best to leave the tattoo covered up while healing i.e out of direct sunlight

Apply 2/3 times a day but don't put too much cream on. Wrap it up for the first week or so if you're going out or your clothes will be covering it and leave it unwrapped if your just at home. Keep it out of direct sunlight and don't submerge it in water (i.e bath or pool) while it's healing
