forteh Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 No idea about pretreatment but bepanthen (nappy rash cream) is very good for healing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 tender place i believe that is. theres no pre treatment to advise really, dont do something stupid like get pissed to calm the nerves as that will thin the blood and make you bleed alot. as said bepanthen is what most people use afterwards for healing. thats about it.

Revolver Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Am I too late to take the piss? If so I'll wait for pics and review the situation. I like this. Savlon seems like a popular choice for cream to use after having a tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Best best best stuff of all to use for healing is Bepanthen cream. Use it for a week, applying it in the morning and evenings, or if your tattoo dries out. It moisturises it, making it less scabby/peeley as well as making it less irritable to scratch away at it. Pre tattoo advice for anyone else who is going soon, get a good night sleep and try to have a meal before you go, and have no alcohol 24 hours prior to your tattoo. Alcohol thins your blood and makes you much more prone to bleeding during the day. And getting a meal in makes you less likely to pass out, take a bottle of coke with you for long sessions for sugars to keep you going, it can be very draining.
