What to use on a new tattoo? Savlon or bepathen?
So im getting a new tattoo done next week. Now im really confused as to what cream to use while its healing. Different things ive read online have said only to use savlon, while others say not to use it because it removes colour from tattoos. And others say bepanthen is the best
The tattoo im getting is going to be full colour and it will cover the top of my right arm

Think of your tattoo as having a warranty; if you don't follow the artist's instructions, you might void the warranty, and he or she won't give you free touch-ups.
Remember: tattoo artists want your tattoo to heal correctly and look good just as much as you do, so they shouldn't give you any poor advice.
Your tattoo needs to breathe to heal properly! Adding chemicals like SUNSCREEN is a no-no!
THE SUN: The sun is probably the single worst enemy and destroyer of tattoos!! During the initial healing process, you absolutely need to keep your new tattoo out of the sun, as it will damage the skin further and can cause all sorts of problems from scaring your tattoo to lightening it up, uneven healing etc.
