Not Medical Advice: According to Artifextattoo.com, after a few days, you can start to use a mild, perfume free skin lotion. You can use the lotion as needed until the tattoo is done peeling and is no longer shiny. Some mild skin lotions you can use are:
St Ives, Collagen, Elastin, Jergens Shea Butter, Vaseline Intensive Care, St. Ives Intensive Healing, Curel Ultra Healing, Gold Bond Ultimate, Jergens Ultra Healing, Moisturel, and Lubriderm
A tattoo normally takes anywhere from 7 to 14 days to look fully healed, depending on the type, style, size and placement. The truth is that it can really take up to a month for a tattoo to be fully healed below the surface of the skin and for your body’s natural healing abilities to lock the ink in completely.
Finally, that design you've had in your head for months has now become a reality and your skin is sporting a new tattoo. But what’s next? How do you look after it and ensure it heals well and ends up looking just as you dreamed it? Here's everything you need to know shared by Cosmopolitan.com.
