Not Medical Advice: You'll find a good amount of anecdotal reports suggesting the good effects of Hemp seed lotion as one of your tattoo aftercare must-haves.
Try to stay away from lotions that contain lanolins or petroleums, notes New Haven Tattoo. Instead use a lotion that is rich in fatty acids for free-radical protection and non-greasy hydration.
New Haven Tattoo further explains: Hemp seed lotions are the best for this. Hemp seed oil is rich in omega 3, 6, and 9 and it is easily absorbed into the skin.
Hemp contains anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties that are healthy and non-irritating to the skin. Continue to use a hemp seed oil lotion long after your tattoo is healed and enjoy longer, truer tattoo color and skin health.
Caring for a new tattoo is your responsibility from the very moment you get out of the tattooist's chair.
