Can you use "TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT" or "HYDROCORTISONE 1%" on your tattoo? Google sent me to a site that said yes but, Do I?

• I heard Neo pulls out the color and Vaseline doesn't. Then I heard it does. I'm all confused. lol

• I've never had a problem with either one pulling any color out. Some peoples bodies reject color..but that has nothing to do with either one of those! I've been getting tattooed for over 20 years and my first one is still nice and bright!

• They didn't really say much but. "No sunlight, keep it greased, and don't pick or scratch it". I was just wondering because it itches really bad right now and I don't have any A&D ointment.

• You can use regular body lotion. The reason it is itching is because the body is forming a type of scar. You can use Hydrocortizone cream on certain types of ink, but you would be better off asking the people who inked you.

• Ms. Hershey, sunlight is okay, unless it's a big one and you're worried about fading, I have a few. and the first one i got, i went tanning right afterwards (and everyday since) and i'm still good. But whatever you do, try not to scratch it when it itches.

• That really wasn't the answer I was looking for.

• Then tell me what answer you were looking for. Really, if you are looking for medical information, you should talk to people that you know are familiar with the topic.

• Blog is an abbreviation of web-log (blog) think of them as public diaries that people can publish thier thoughts to.

• Vasoline pulls the colors out, or fades the black ones, don't use it.

• I always thought it was ok since you are just keeping it moisturized. I was told you could use a nonscented lotion if you were in a jam - then again, Hitman (my tattoo artist) could have been wrong. He was about my first tounge piercing.

• My buddy said his artist told him not to use vas because it has the potential to fade the piece if you leave it on too long...

• That would be why my back tattoo is now a deep greenish color - lol. And why Marco's (the shop I got it done at) is shut down.
