A member asked:
What to do if i had my tattoo for month now, should i still put lotion or ointment on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: It the area looks well healed an there is no longer any dry crusting or peeling its probably fine to stop I would ask the artist their preference since they know the inks involved etc.
