Is vasoline good for a healing tattoo?

Answer 1

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....
