Is A and D good for piercings?

I assume you mean A&D ointment. You should only use A&D ointment for new tattoos and other skin rash or irritation issues. For piercings it is recommended to use a mixture of sea salt and warm water (1/4 teaspoon of seasalt to one cup of warm water) More salt is not better, it will irritate the piercing. Also be advised I am not a medical professional, I just have alot of experience healing tattoos and piercings

Can any ointment or gel be used on tattoos after done?

Yes and no. The best and most advised aftercare ointment to use is any that is lanolin based, such as Bag Balm or A&D ointment. You DO NOT want to use petroleum jelly, although this is often told to you by lesser artists. The problem with petroleum jelly is that it tends to open the pores too much, and thereby, could suck some of the ink out of the dermis during the healing process. The same is more true when it is used throughout the application of the tattoo, and it is for that reason that it should never be used as for that purpose. For the aftercare, you will want to apply a thin coat of the ointment over the tattoo right after a shower, or after washing it thoroughly with good antibacterial soap. The reason that you want to do it that way, is that dry skin is a barrier, and to open the pores with warm water will allow the ointment to seep into the pores more easily. Do this only as needed. Too much ointment on a healing tattoo may be bad, as it will invariably suck ink out of the skin. And lastly, always keep the area clean first and foremost.
