After getting a tattoo, it is important to take proper care of the tattoo site in order to promote proper healing and prevent infection. One way to do this is by applying a thin layer of antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin Zinc Oxide ointment, Neosporin, or Vitamin A&D ointment. However, there are other options for tattoo aftercare as well. According to experts, some of the best lotions to heal a new tattoo include:

• Aquaphor Healing Ointment
• Lubriderm Daily Moisture Body Lotion
• Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Organic Magic Balm
• Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
• Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm
• Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
• Hustle Butter Deluxe
• After Inked Tattoo Moisturizer
• Tattoo Goo Aftercare Lotion

When choosing a lotion for tattoo aftercare, it is important to look for fragrance-free formulas, added SPF, and minimal application to avoid oversaturating the area. Some tattoo artists may also recommend using a barrier cream to protect the new tattoo and promote healing. It is important to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your tattoo artist to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.
