How do you treat acne on a new tattoo?
You leave the pimples alone. If you pop or pick at them, you will wind up ruining your new piece of art. Use soap and water and lightly wash it, then use a towel and pat it dry. Do Not Scrub It!!! You will end up losing most of the ink if you do that. Same thing when it starts to peel. Don't pick it.
Can you go for a bath after having a new tattoo for over a month?
Definitely. The reason you're not supposed to take a bath while a tattoo is healing is because it soaks the scab and early on can cause more ink to seep out. If your still peeling, try not to soak the whole time, but other than that your tattoo is basically healed.

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
