Review (5/5): Better than anything else I've used
When I first started getting tattooed, I was told fragrance free lotion was the only way to go. So that's what I used for years. About 4 tattoos ago, my artist recommended I get some Aquatat- I will no longer use anything else.
I don't know if it will work for you, or if your experience is similar to mine. With lotion, the tattoo slowly raises, and then the raised parts slowly come off like scabs. The whole process takes two weeks or more. In my experience, this led to a lot of color loss and some scarring. With the Aquatat, the tattoo heals almost twice as fast. There is no scabbing and no color loss. As the tattoo heals, it just flakes off like you had a very mild sunburn.
I have and will continue to recommend this stuff to everyone I know that gets ink. I just got my most recent tattoo on Thursday evening. It is now Wednesday morning and I'm about 90% healed.
