Yeah. My freind who is a tattoo artist said to leave it alone for three days than start moisturizing it. This is after the initial wash of it of course.

They say not to use vaseline.
Use regular lotion.

#2 i agree with Red, couldnt you get something more original? All mine are quite unique.

#3 didnt the artist give you instructions to take care of it? Or was this post just to tell us about your tat?

Don't listen to these morons who dog on your tattoo because it isn't "original". You can't have an original tattoo. Everything has been done before. I like the bands around the arm. Lets see the pics!

Oh, it's going to be crooked, so when people say "HAHA, you moron! It's crooked!", tell them to STFU, skin moves.

Of course it's hard to have an original tattoo but come on, the Tribal Arm Band thing has been done to death and everybody from Accoutants, Geeks and Muscleheads have one.

Lotion. Vaseline intensive care lotion, or some folks recommend Neosporin. I've used both and my tat's all healed fine.

Some kind of diaper rash lotion, the name eludes me.
Any good tattoo parlor should have given you a care sheet, though.
