Vasoline is used for a few reasons during the tattoo process.
1. It reduces bleeding.
2. Reduces ink from spreading on the skin, with the vasoline it balls up so that the artist can see the stencil better.
3. Allows for easier cleaning of excess ink, so as the artist does a line the ink will ball and can be wiped off easier with out smudging the ink everywhere.
4. While working on big pieces, if an artist likes to finish off sections at a time, the artist can apply vasoline to the finished area so as to reduce the staining effect.
It is more than safe to have vasoline put on your tattoo during the process, however check that the vasoline is clean and that the artist has taken it out with a new wooden tongue depresser...this is done to avoid contamination.

Is vasoline good for a healing tattoo?
no. Use Savlon or baby Rash cream. At my shop we suggest and sell H2Ocean's tattoo aftercare cream, but if the client does not want that we tell them to use a anti-biotic oinment such as bacitration, neosporin, or triple antibiotic, very sparingly for three days...Then switch to a good skin moisturizer that does not contain coloring agents or fragrances....The best is Lubriderm... The key to using an anti-biotic ointment is to not use very much of it. If you can see it on there you got to much....And only apply it after you wash the old off... Vasoline, A & D Oinment and such are merely moisture protections, with no theraputic values....Hope this helps....

Is getting a tattoo to look like a toering on your toe a good idea?
Remember tattoos do not come off, you have them for life. You may like the idea of a toe ring tattoo now but say in 10 years time you may want to wear some sophisticated open front shoes and the tattoo may then make you feet look cheep - and you will regret having it done. If you must have a tattoo now try having a fake one done in henna which will wear off in time.
