Question:
I have found that after getting inked, a soak in hot water ( as hot as yu can take it) then using Lubriderm ( light coat) healed me just great! But don;t soak for longer than say..20 minutes. turbodog – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Each artist gave me different instructions for the aftercare of the Tattoo, one wanted Neasporin applied 3 times a day for 2 weeks, the 2nd wanted Bacitracin applied 5 times a day for 2 days then Palmers Cocoa Butter twice a day until healed . Each of these two pieces scabbed up terribly, hurt, and were very itchy while healing. On this third Tattoo I was instructed to apply only Lubriderm lotion 5 times a day for 2 days then twice a day until healed. The piece is now 7 days old and it never scabbed, didn’t hurt and never got too itchy and is completly healed. My question is did it heal so well because of the aftercare It looks like everyone has different after care instructions. 
I’ve found out, that for me, treating a new tattoo like a skin wound works best. In short, keep it clean and dry. Avoid soaking it in water and greasy ointments. When it starts itching a light coat of Lubriderm helps and seems to do no harm to the tattoo.

My question is did it heal so well because of the aftercare TWSI method or do some areas of the body heal faster and better than others? TWSI My other two pieces are on my upper arms. Any thoughts on this? it’s the aftercare. i had a terrible time using bacitracin on my first three tattoos (including losing some of the ink from them). once i started doing NOTHING for them & then using lotion for a few days, i started healing quicker & with less trouble. lish 25.6% / 31
Response:
I use a very *light* * thin* coating of A&D ointment for the first 24 hours on fresh ink, followed by frequent Lubriderm applications until the tattoo has peeled. Then it’s business as usual in regard to my skin care. I have never scabbed or lost ink using this method.
This is the regimen recommended by Jon Clue. I used this combo on the last tattoo I got from him, and it was incredible. No scabbing, no lost ink, just as Lisa said. If I get a tat by Bugs in London, I’ll try it on that, too! Debbie

synth wrote in response to ministryofDX’s question regarding the use of bacitracin, etc. in tattoo healing: Lubriderm is your friend.
I can *strongly* second this; Lubriderm has proven to be the best aftercare regimen for me. In the past I have tried Neosporin with unreliable results. Mostly because I kept it on far too long, I think. I use a very *light* * thin* coating of A&D ointment for the first 24 hours on fresh ink, followed by frequent Lubriderm applications until the tattoo has peeled. Then it’s business as usual in regard to my skin care. I have never scabbed or lost ink using this method. Once I bought Lubriderm’s "Seriously Sensitive" lotion (thinking it might be better than the regular type I normally use) and it proved to be most unpleasant; I don’t know what they add to this particular formula but it stung like hell-spawned wasps on a fresh tattoo.

Yes…The tattoos healed alternately with neosporin, bacitracin and cocoa butter hurt alot and scabbed because of the neosporin, bacitracin and cocoa butter respectively. Lubriderm is your friend. Though ive found that hemp oil is even better than that. abbie

I agree. This is what I have had the best luck with as well. I have colors that look like they were done last month, but they are over 8 years old! I do want to add that I wash with mild soap and water many times a day before putting on the lotion. — Barry Blanchard www.anatometal.com

I just got a HUGE cover up a couple of days ago. I usually do the lubriderm and wash a few times a day, and that works pretty good. But this time I tried somthing new. A friend of mine recommended this and says his tattoos heal quicker and has no color loss. After I removed my bandage I gently wiped away the excess ointment and blood with a clean paper towel. Then I got my water as hot as my hand could stand it and began to run the hot water over my tattoo. OH MY GOD did it burn!!!! but when I was done it didn’t sting any more. I did it a couple of times the first day untill the little bit of plasma quit oozing from my tattoo (you don’t want the plasma to dry because it can form a scab as well). Well it’s been 3 days and my tattoo has not been as sensative to the touch as they ususlly are for me, and is beginning a light flaking away of the dead skin. I’ll keep ya’ll posted on how the tattoo heals up. I would recommend that if it is your first tattoo, do what your artist told you to do. As you get more tattoos you will learn what works for you and what dosen’t. Not every product works the same for all people, but untill you know what works for you, following your artists care instructions will give you your best chance at a well healed tattoo. Misha

You are lucky that you got instruction on how to take care of your tattoo at all. When I got mine done I did not get any thing, I did not even get it covered. It was a home tattoo and the guy claims that he worked in shop. I looked at his certificate and everything but come to find out that he never worked in a shop. The certificate that he showed me was a certificate that you get when you get the tattoo kit. I have such bad scar tissue. So you should feel lucky that you got some kind of instructions.

I can second this. My roommate recently had the first session to begin his full backpiece. He now has the full outline finished. He picked up the "Seriously Sensitive" and had a lot of problems with stinging and burning that the regular Lubriderm never causes. I use neosporin for the first 48 hours, then switch to regular Lubriderm. In the shower, I use ‘Satin’ surgical antibacterial / moisturizing soap to gently clean new ink. Satin is great stuff.

I got my second tattoo Monday. It’s a blackwork abstract (the sort generally called "tribal"). Custom work done by Craig Cooley of Abstract Tribal Tattoo here in New York City: I took him a sketch of a couple of spirals and asked him to turn it into an armband. The result isn’t at all what I’d visualized beforehand, but it’s gorgeous and right–which is why he’s a professional artist and I get paid for working with words and computers. The second tattoo is easier, because you know what to expect. I think it actually hurt a bit more than the first one, because the underside of the arm (or at least of my arm) is more sensitive than the top (tattoo #1 is a bird on my upper left arm), but I didn’t mind the pain as much, in some weird way. And at the end, he finished inking my arm, wiped off the extra ink and the blood, and showed it to me, and I just grinned. Part endorphins, of course, but part that here’s this beautiful design and it’s part of me! Three days old, still a bit tender, but not itching yet. I’ve burbled at numerous friends who don’t have tattoos, so I figured I should tell you folks as well. (They’re supportive, but it’s different.) And yes, I tipped my artist. He seemed surprised and asked if I was sure (I tipped an extra $20 on a $140 tattoo, which was slightly less than the estimate I’d been given when I made the reservation at the NYC tattoo con a couple of weeks ago). I assured him that yes, I was sure, he’d done a wonderful job. Vicki Rosenzweig "Typos are Coyote padding through the language, grinning." – Susanna Sturgis

Congrats with the new tattoo. I envy you. Just a curious question about that tribal stuff: Is it ‘normal’ that it’s a really abstract fantasy design, or is it sometimes based on old designs from ancient cultures, like the Maori? I guess both, but I want some opinions about that. With copying an old design, without knowing what it means, it’s possible to disrespect that culture. Right or wrong? When it’s not possible to find out the meaning of the design, is it better to stick with the fantasy tribal design? (Note that I’m not trilled about just copying some else’s designs.)

I don’t know what’s "normal" (by which I’m guessing you mean customary) here. In my case, I wanted an armband incorporating spirals, and decided that a "tribal" sort of design would look better for that than, say, Celtic. (My friend Felix was surprised when she saw this one–she’d figured me as more of a Celtic sort of person.) All I borrowed from anyone–and I doubt they would mind–was the general idea of all-black tattooing in curves and points. I’d hesitate to borrow an image I didn’t understand from another culture, not only because it could be disrespectful, but for fear of inadvertently "saying" something I didn’t want to say. (I like the image of Kokopelli, the Southwest American hunchbacked flute-player, but I don’t understand him and therefore wouldn’t get that as a tattoo. Just an example.) Oh, hell, it’s not a great picture–I’ll have a better one when it’s healed–so please don’t link to it, but if anyone is curious, you can see the new tattoo (at least for the moment, I’ll probably change the URL when I change the image) at http://www.users.interport.net/~vr/curves.jpg Vicki Rosenzweig "Typos are Coyote padding through the language, grinning." – Susanna Sturgis

I want a ‘tribal’ tattoo, and I was wondering where all those different designs originated from. So it’s oke to assume most, if not all, designs are fantasy stuff? I’d hesitate to borrow an image I didn’t understand from another culture, not only because it could be disrespectful, but for fear of inadvertently "saying" something I didn’t want to say.
I was in a tattoo shop today, and saw a lot of flash, displaying asian characters. I haven’t got the slightest idea what it all meant. So I won’t choose that. http://www.users.interport.net/~vr/curves.jpg

As a designer of mostly ‘tribal’ tattoos, I take my inspirations from many places. Only a few of them actually taken from totems or symbology particular to a culture. In the cases that I do borrow from another cultures symbology, I either choose designs which are purely ornamental, or find and state the meaning behind the totem (if I am able). Most of what is called tribal is not (to the best of my knowledge) representative of important cultural totems (designs or symbols which have definite religious/social meanings and are reserved for certain members of that culture). While many of them *are* influenced by various cultures (African tribes, Japanese No, and Keltic illumination come most readily to mind) it would not be insulting to that culture to wear the them. If in doubt, ask. I was in a tattoo shop today, and saw a lot of flash, displaying asian characters. I haven’t got the slightest idea what it all meant. So I won’t choose that.
You can go to: http://merlin.soc.staffs.ac.uk/cgi-bin/j-e/dict They don’t have a way to input kanji (the symbols) but you can find words and phrases that you want to display, and find the Japanese ideograms for them. — Brother Blaze The Unintentional Monk http://members.aol.com/~brblaze

The problem, idiot du jour, is that we’re not talking about having a mole removed or having your tummy tucked. The fact is that after a transplant you are immunosuppressed; thus nearly any infection has the increased potential to kill you. One of the drugs used, Prednisone, causes subcutaneous fat atrophy (loss of fat under the skin) and thin, fragile skin, out of which follows easy bruising, skin tearing after even very minor injuries, and slow healing. Same thing with Cyclosporine. Imuran can cause rashes, bruising, and jaundice. Prograf can cause sensitivity to touch. Rapamune has been known to cause skin cancer. CellCept causes acne. Those are just the skin side effects. Not everyone who takes these will get any or all of these symptoms. The point is, please attempt to THINK before you post. Better yet, don’t post when you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. Mara

And, apparently, I’m not alone: http://www.cafepress.com/opalshop.3014107?r=froogle — Curt http://curt_james.livejournal.com/ — Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server – http://www.Mailgate.ORG

When I got my 8 inch tat on my back, my artist recommended lots of Noxema – I found that the Noxema was very soothing and eased that burning sensation. I also had muscle cramps, which a few Tylenol took care of. Hope you’ll feel better soon! –Sarah

Actually, I *STRONGLY* recommend that people test any product first before trying it on their fresh tattoos. I am not allergic to too many things, but I *do* have sensitive skin. Noxzema makes me break out in pimples on my face, and gives me rashes on my body. No other facial cleanser gives me that reaction, and I *think* it’s because the menthol ingredient in it. You wouldn’t want to get that sort of reaction on your new tattoo! — * This is Lani Teshima-Miller, posting live from Honolulu, Hawaii on LAVA * * In Hawaii today 2/16: Sunny, blue sky–blustery, and COLD!

I wouldn’t do it, but the best person to ask would be the artist. Why don’t you give the shop a call today and ask? — As usual, Renee

Sorry Krystal. I don’t tink that sounds right. I have a tattoo on my stomach with lots of color and it looks great after 7 years. Beth
