SA_R16 2 Posted June 10, 2019 Hello, everyone! Just got a big forearm piece on the 6th of June. Its beginning to scab, flake. Everytime I apply lotion to it (I use Lubriderm Advance Therapy), my tattoo burns. Is this a bad thing, or is my tattoo just sensitive since it's still fresh? I was using Lubriderm because a lot of people recommended it for tattoos. Thanks everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerninja 2,587 Posted June 10, 2019 Hey there, make sure you are using straight up Lubriderm (not advanced therapy) or Aveeno - unscented. 2 scottyg and SA_R16 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyg 457 Posted June 10, 2019 you might also try products without lanolin, which is a wool-derived product found in most moisterizers. I use Cetaphil because it doesn't have lanolin. but as @Gingerninja said, make sure not to use the like, advanced formula stuff 1 SA_R16 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess Sparkle Mittens 15 Posted June 12, 2019 It's gross to rub lotion made from sheep gunk into open wounds. Get a basic unscented vegan lotion. 1 scottyg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
