107 The Faq Maintainer'S Own Method

1. Remove the bandage and shower that night.
2. Wash gently with soap or water.
3. Apply A&D or some such petroleum-jelly-based ointment before
bed and again the next morning.
4. Apply lotion the second night and then twice a day for a week.
Lotions I like are the Vaseline Intensive Care line and Lubriderm.

I've healed lots of tattoos with this basic care regimen. The only
other caution I have is that I usually wear something to cover the
tattoo the first night. Not necessarily a bandage, but just a T-shirt
or something like that to keep from sticking to the sheets.
