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!

What are some rules for tattoo aftercare?
The first step to the tattoo aftercare is after the soap is applied is to bandage the tattoo. Though instead of a gauze that can stick use plastic wrap. Use antibacterial ointments on the area.
Can you use cocoa butter with shea moisturizer on your tattoo?
You can use Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter, they are both very good for aftercare. Many people are using the wrong aftercare these days. Many people are still using petrolium based products such as A&D ointment, Bacitracin and Neosporin. These are some of the worst aftercare products to use on your Tattoo. They do not absorb into the skin to condition it, they sit on top. Think of it as a liquid saran wrap. Your tattoo must be able to breath in order to heal. Covering your tattoo with anything like saran wrap, bandages, or a petroleum product can have a drawing effect and cause color loss in your Tattoo. Also, many people breakout with the use of petroleum products.

Can I use Yunnan Baiyao for tattoo aftercare?
Since the ingredients are often closely guarded secrets, I would not recommend it for use as tattoo aftercare. Use products that you are 100% sure are lanolin- and petroleum-free. Even better, use products that are manufactured specifically for tattoo aftercare, like Tattoo Goo. We have been providing Tattoo Aftercare for over ten years.

Can you put neosporin on a belly button piercing?
Try following the aftercare instructions you were given by your piercer first, I think you will find you should not be using anything not listed in the instructions.
Can neosporin alone heal an infected tattoo?
Depending on how bad the infection in your tattoo is will depend on how well the neosporin will work. If the infection is really bad you need to see a Doctor. My advise is if you think your tattoo is getting, or is already infected, go to a Doctor. They will be able to tell you what is best for it. Tattoo artists can tell you if it's infected or not but they will likely tell you to use just neosporin. The Doctor can give you a prescription or antibiotic ointment that will take care of it. If not properly taken care of you can get blood poisoning. Blood poisoning can be fatal so just save yourself the risk and see a Doctor. Hope this helps.

Does Neosporin damage tattoos?
I actually recommend using neosporin. Personally, I have many tattoos on my body and I've found the best results using this. I DEFFINATLY do not recommend using vasoline, even if your tattoo artist recommend it! This is basically a trick tattoo studios do to get clients to come back. Vasoline damages your tattoo and will pull some of the ink out. It makes the skin soggy and the ink raises to the top. Tattoo artists tell you to use it because if your tattoo begins to fade and you want it fixed. You'll probably go back to them to have it redone. There are other tattoo ointments out there that you can use too, but I think they are just scented abstracts of neosporin, and they cost quite a bit sometimes. Just dont use very much of any petroleum jelly based product. And only use it for three days. Rule of thumb is 'if ya can see it on there, you got too much'.
Can you use eucerin on a tattoo?
Yes. Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Curel are also excellent. Stay away from Neosporin, A&D, Vaseline and triple antibiotic ointment.
Is coconut oil good for tattoo after care?
No. you want to make sure your scabs on your new tattoo are left alone. I had a new tattoo when I went to a wedding so many people hugged me that the scab was knocked off on one section of my tattoo and when that happens you loose the part of the tattoo that had the scab come off. I also suggest you follow the advice of the person doing your tattoo.
