Tattoos

Aquaphor is possibly the best stuff you can put on a fresh tattoo.Say what you will, but I'll pop a midol or something similar because it is an anti inflammatory and it will keep the swelling down while it heals.The aquaphor will aid in the healing process by allowing it to heal from the outside in to keep the ink in and not push it out of the skin.Walgreen's Wal-Sporin will do the same and works well.Just never use Neosporin on a fresh tattoo.It has the opposite effect and heals from the inside out,pushing the ink out into the scab leaving you with nasty looking art work.Lotion them up from time to time and if you go out in the sun put sun block on them to stop discoloration over time.
