Leah Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I use fragrance/color free lotion the whole time. I used to use A&D for the first few days but stopped that years ago. scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4369-when-is-the-time-to-switch-to-lotion/#findComment-137933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I use the wet heal method - A&D covered by saran wrap for 2-3 days, washing and reapplying a couple of times a day. Then I use a little lotion a couple of times a day for about a week. Less is more, no need to stop using lotion if it's still itching. I try to remember to put cocoa butter on all my ink once or twice a week.

Gingerninja Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just remember that less is more when it comes to lotion! Don't overdue it but keep your new tattoo lightly moisturized. It's still a fresh wound. :) Hogrider and Leah 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4369-when-is-the-time-to-switch-to-lotion/#findComment-137941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinak Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Big fan of hustle butter. Helps with the itch better than anything else I have tried. Nice coconut smell too. Once I remove the Tegaderm, I use a light coat in the morning for about ten days.

Michaelshane Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I switch to lotion after it starts to peel.The lotion helps with the itching.
