Bintmcskint 30 Sep 5:36pm, 30 Sep 2024 47,627 posts	0 Bintmcskint I'm getting my first tattoo on Friday! I'm going to need aftercare advice from you lovely people. Have read back a bit and purchased some EZ Second Skin, some Bepanthen Tattoo Intense Care Ointment, and some Hustle Butter. Hoping that means I am suitably prepared
geordiegirl 30 Sep 5:52pm, 30 Sep 2024 24,463 posts	0 geordiegirl I used to use bepanthen but my Tattoist recommended hustle butter which is much nicer to use. You won’t need much (unless it’s huge)! What are you having? Very exciting.

cackleberry 30 Sep 6:26pm, 30 Sep 2024 4,081 posts	0 cackleberry I don't remember doing any after care on mine? The most recent one the tattooist covered with that surgical clingfilm cos I said I was going running the next day and that's it. Probably used some E45, but I don't even remember them being itchy? All 3 healed perfectly.

rhb 30 Sep 6:46pm, 30 Sep 2024 2,401 posts	0 rhb Discussed today, Bepanthen us a no no, but reading around if used very sparingly is ok. I'm probably going to stick with Hustle Butter on todays, I have Palmers Cocoa Butter too so could try 1/3rd of each and see if it heals differently. I reckon care is care so long as done sensible & regular plus no picking the scabs it should generally be ok.

rhb 30 Sep 10:36pm, 30 Sep 2024 2,404 posts	0 rhb I got kitchen clingfilm today, have removed washed with carex, & then Hustle Butter applied. Last time it was medical film that I kept on for a few days. Tbh I think I preferred that, but after this heals I may change my mind depending on the how process feels & the outcome.
