Pat tattoo dry. Do not rub. Let tattoo air dry for 30 minute. Then Apply a very thin layer of POLYSPORIN to the tattooed area.
-
Apply the POLYSPORIN several times a day for the next 3 days.
-
On the 3rd day, switch to a non-scented white lotion. Preferably LUBRIDERM.

The THINNER you apply your ointment/lotion - the lighter it will scab and quicker it will heal.
