When can I stop applying ointment to new tattoo?

Letting it dry out completely and letting it heal up is your best bet. I heal all my work up dry, as does every tattoo artist I know. They heal up great dry.

Glopping stuff on it is keeping it from getting air. It's simply got to get air to heal properly. I tell people to let 'em heal up dry all the time, but they don't wanna hear it.

In their minds, they simply have to apply stuff to 'help' it heal. Nonsense. But don't take my word for it.

Ask a few tattoo artists about healing them up dry, next time you're in a tattoo studio. Then try it for yourself. Take care.

No keep putting it on the ink is supposed to run its just excess don't worry about it. It needs to be kept moisturized to heal the skin properly. You don't need to put too much on but keep putting it on for sure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
