Is neosporin ok for tattoo aftercare?

Answer 1

No Neosporin is not recommended for tattoo aftercare. Generally the tattoo artist will give you an ointment, if they don't you can buy an ointment called bacatine from your local drugstore. Three days after the tattoo it is recommended to use a unscented moisturizer like Lubriderm or Aveno. word

There is a new product on the market that kills 99.9% bacteria like Neosporin, but isn't petroleum-based. Safe4Hours is a long-lasting first aid antiseptic and skin protectant so it keeps microorganisms from entering open wounds like tattoos. It is lotion-based so it continuously moisturizes for 4 hours, which helps keep the tattoo from drying. This product can be used for any type of wound.

I really doubt it. I don't know what you're planning on doing, but Neosporin won't do anything to a tattoo!
