You can use Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter, they are both very good for aftercare. Many people are using the wrong aftercare these days. Many people are still using petrolium based products such as A&D ointment, Bacitracin and Neosporin. These are some of the worst aftercare products to use on your Tattoo. They do not absorb into the skin to condition it, they sit on top. Think of it as a liquid saran wrap. Your tattoo must be able to breath in order to heal. Covering your tattoo with anything like saran wrap, bandages, or a petroleum product can have a drawing effect and cause color loss in your Tattoo. Also, many people breakout with the use of petroleum products. Here is a couple of things to avoid when looking for a Tattoo Aftercare ointment
Petroleum
Lanolin
Mineral Oil
Colors
Artificial Preservatives
Parabens
Fragrances
Any form of Citrus oils
Sunscreen
-Skinlab Tattoo

What is The difference between cocoa butter and vegetable fats?
Fat cells are made up mainly of two types of molecules known as, fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids can either be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids tend to have no double bonds, as a result they are linear. It is easy for the saturated fatty acids to pack more tightly together and be solid in room temperature (lard for example). Whereas, unsaturated fatty acids are not linear and therefore tend to be liquid at room temperature. Vegetable oil is a type of unsaturated fatty acid obtained from a variety of plants. In other words a fat is solid and vegetable oil is liquid at room temperature, but both are composed of triglycerides (a long-term energy storage for animals, which is stored in fat cells in adipose tissue).Hope that helps!
