How do tattoos get infected?

You think your tattoo is infected what can you put on it that wont ruin it?

Neosporin is your safest bet. A&D is petroleum based. Petroleum locks bacteria in. Don't use anything petroleum based. Aquaphor is just going to keep your tattoo moist, DON'T use it if you think it's infected. Water will make an infection worse. You should not put anything on your infected tattoo, just wash it regularly with antibacterial, non-fragrant soap & warm water. Don't submerge it in water, and try to keep it out of the shower stream. I'd say get some antibiotics, too.

Can neosporin alone heal an infected tattoo?

Depending on how bad the infection in your tattoo is will depend on how well the neosporin will work. If the infection is really bad you need to see a Doctor. My advise is if you think your tattoo is getting, or is already infected, go to a Doctor. They will be able to tell you what is best for it. Tattoo artists can tell you if it's infected or not but they will likely tell you to use just neosporin. The Doctor can give you a prescription or antibiotic ointment that will take care of it. If not properly taken care of you can get blood poisoning. Blood poisoning can be fatal so just save yourself the risk and see a Doctor. Hope this helps.


What if you put vaseline on a tattoo what should you do?

Get it off quickly and don't do it again, use moisturisers instead because vaseline can blur and blotch your tattoo if it is applied early after you got your tattoo
