I used Cetaphil on my tattoo and it worked amazingly. It's light-weight and fragrance-free. Look for it in the facial skin care aisle. I read that petroleum-based products can bleed ink out and fade a tattoo, so that's why I chose Cetaphil lotion.

Yes, peeling is natural (and good). Don't pick at it. Apply lotion 15 minutes after showering so you don't rub off skin while applying the lotion. Continue to wash it 2-3 times per day with the antibacterial soap.

You can keep using the aquaphor. At this point in the healing, you want to keep it moisturized so it peels a minimal amount, while still keeping it clean to prevent any infection from forming on the still healing wound. Don't pick at the peeling skin, and slap it if it begins to itch. Don't scratch t, that could slightly move the ink and mess with the tattoo design.

Bepanthan for me! Nappy rash cream. Small amount twice a day
