Is applying Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream good for my new wrist tattoo?

Question

I just got my new wrist tattoo on the 3rd of May. It is the 7th of May today. My skin feels rough at the tattooed area and I just got home after purchasing the above stated cream. Just applied it too. I'd like to ask if this is good for my tattoo. Thank you! :)

Answer 1

Cetaphil is a great moisturizing cream for regular use, however it contains Petrolatum and Glycerin which aren't considered good for tattoo aftercare. When I got my last tattoo, my artist gave me Tattoo Goo, I recommend this ointment seeing that it worked pretty well for me.

Answer 2

The only lotion you should use is nonscented if not the tattoo color would start to fade. Every tattoo I've had will get dry feeling being yours is 4 days old you should still be using ointment such as A&D or something in that nature
