For those with tattoos...

I just had a tattoo done on my left forearm, and it's beginning to go into the "Burns like hell, starting to heal" mode. The tattooist DEMANDED I use an ointment with A&D, however I've read online that barely any tattoo artists are fond of using this sort of product, as it will eventually scab and lose pigment. (My tattoo is quite colorful)

Does anyone know what the definitive product to use for tattoo aftercare is? I've heard non-scented curell, but then again, I've heard things about how that may dull my tattoo....so basically my options are 1. let it scab with A&D, ruining some of the color or 2. Dull it considerably but with a lesser healing time?

I dont know what you usually use in your country, but here we use something called "Pantothenol" or "Helosan"

If you can pick up "Tattoo goo", I can't reccommemd it enough. Used it on mine and it's excellent.

Are you sure it wasn't a rub-on tattoo you got in a packet of gum or something?

From what I've heard A & D only causes fading if you use too much. The key is to use it sparingly.

Tattoo goo is all you need.  That stuff is all I've ever used, and it was reccommended to me by more than one professional.

I used curel and i have a very colorful tattoo. as long as you don't put a heaping helping on it you should be fine.

I swear just now I was reading through the topic titles in the board and I read "For those with tacos..."

Pics por favor.

Bepanten. Use it well.
It's that nappy rash cream, but it works wonders.

I've always used A&D.  You only lose pigment with it if you layer excessive amounts on it without dobbing it down to a very very VERY thin layer.
