No. you want to make sure your scabs on your new tattoo are left alone. I had a new tattoo when I went to a wedding so many people hugged me that the scab was knocked off on one section of my tattoo and when that happens you loose the part of the tattoo that had the scab come off. I also suggest you follow the advice of the person doing your tattoo.

It's okay. Not the best, but better than Vaseline or Neosporin.

Can you use cocoa butter with shea moisturizer on your tattoo?

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


How do you get rid of tattoo keloids?

There is nothing that you the client can or need to do to prevent this from happening. A "keloid" in relation to a tattoo simply means that the artist that did the tattoo simply went to deep and scarred you. Keloids are more common and unpredictable when it comes to body piercing, especially surface piercings. The only way to reduce the appearance of them in that respect is to use diluted Tea Tree Oil. This will not work with a tattoo, as I said, because it is irrevocably scarred.


How do I take care of an outdoor teak table?

You can use a water seal product like Thompson's if you want. I prefer to simply oil the wood with olive oil or linseed oil and protect the wood for rain with a cover.

Is it possible for coconut oil to fade a new tattoo?

No I wouldn't say so. Coconut oil is antibacterial and anti fungal. I would say that if you used entirely too much coconut oil, yes there's a likelihood the scab might come off too early and be all sloppy, but to be honest only the size of a pea of coconut oil wouldn't do that. Make sure it's organic if you are going to use it, wash the tattoo two to three times as day with an antibacterial soap, then rinse off the residue and apply a small thin layer of coconut oil.
