Use the Proper Healing Balms and Ointments
If the tattoo is fresh, being diligent about using balms and ointments becomes especially important over the Summer. Mariwalla recommends Skinfix Inked Tattoo Balm ($26), which sadly isn't available in the UK. But others such as Modern Day Duke Tattoo After Care Salve (£12), and Tattoo Goo Aftercare Salve (£6). Look out allantoinin the ingredient list (which protects tattoos during its recovery phase) and coconut oil (which acts as an emollient that helps relieve any dryness).
