Tattoo Aftercare

I recently added another tattoo to my collection and wanted to share with you guys the most amazing aftercare product I've used. 

Of course, there are loads of different products for tattoo aftercare.

The studios here recommend Bepanthem or Sudocream, two types of nappy rash

cream, which I know a lot of people use. There are pricier alternatives, too,  made by specialist companies. Tattoo Goo has some great reviews, as does H2Ocean - a foam version that uses a salt concentration to prevent infection.

However, my tattoo studio (Spike at the Art) stocks this beauty by The Aftercare Company....

 Now, at £5 for this little pot, I was aprehensive, but it was worth every penny.

The feel is reminiscent of vaseline, but not greasy or sticky, and it smells lovely.

Totally natural and brilliant, I apply it 3 times a day, inc. first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I've used it on all my tattoos except the two on my back, and it really is the best product I've tried. It soaks in immediately, and you only need a little bit as it goes so far. It keeps the tattoo moist (sorry, I hate that word too!) and stops the scab from drying and forming. Instead, you won't develop a scab, it'll just gradually heal storing the colour better, and flake off in small amounts - much better for a lasting tattoo.

It's also a great skin treatment. I use it on spots, bruises, dry skin....its totally versatile and

the fact that it's 100% natural makes it that much better!

10/10!

 Oh, and my tattoo? Well, it's just for hubs, so use your imagination!

The text is just for us, but I'll share the placement with you.

This is a photo I found on Pinterest that I used as reference for the placement.
