Tattoo Lotion with Healix Gold + Panthenol - Tattoo Goo (2024)

FAQs

Is Tattoo Goo lotion good for tattoos? ›

It's also a go-to for healed tattoos to keep skin moisturized and colors vibrant. Tattoo Goo® Tattoo Care Lotion contains panthenol (“lab speak” for vitamin B5), which is known to promote healing and reduce skin irritation — particularly the itching that comes with a new tattoo (you're welcome).

Highly concentrated panthenol

The ideal ingredient for after tattoo creams, it has moisturising, emollient and regenerating properties.

Tattoo Goo promotes faster healing times, as well as reduced itching and discomfort during the process. This can make a huge difference in the overall appearance of the tattoo once it has healed, as itching and scratching the sensitive skin can easily damage and distort the tattoo's design.

Not only is moisturized skin a must for bright ink, but protection from the sun's rays is also. We recommend starting Tattoo Goo Renew with SPF 30 about eight weeks after getting your tattoo to ensure it's fully healed as the SPF can cause irritation on healing skin.

The general rule of thumb when looking for a tattoo lotion? Choose a formula that's simple, unscented, and gentle. According to Goold, Aquaphor is a go-to in most tattoo shops, since it's super effective at soothing and moisturizing fresh ink.

Tattoo should not look “soggy”. DO NOT use products containing Aloe Vera, Alcohol or Cortisone.

Applying too much cream on the tattoo as this can sometimes clog the pores and the tattoo can't breathe which can cause a rash. Another mistake people make is washing it too much! All tattoos need some bacteria to heal.

Do I have to wash my tattoo every time I put lotion on it? In general, moisturizing your skin after washing it each time will help prevent the tattoo from drying out, so it heals faster. You will, however, want to avoid over-moisturizing your tattoo.

Product Information. This is a water based formula that helps to restore your skins moisture balance while boosting the healing process to ensure quicker healing and better looking tattoos.

How long after a tattoo can you shower normally? ›

You can shower 3-4 hours after getting a tattoo, if you have a Saniderm bandage on, however, if you have a plastic wrap wait 24 hours to unwrap your tattoo and shower. In either case, shower in cold or lukewarm water and avoid prolonged soaking or submerging your tattoo in water for 3-4 weeks.

The expertly created formula improves the appearance on old and new tattoos, helping to restore the brightness and vibrancy of your ink. With proper care and protection, your tattoo can stay looking new and fresh for a much longer period.

Use a Tattoo Care Salve

Tattoo care salves are specially formulated to soothe pain and swelling, especially for freshly inked skin. The best tattoo salves, like Green Goo's Tattoo Care Salve, can also provide a protective layer to block out bacteria and help your tattoo heal more quickly.

Aquaphor's all-purpose ointment won a top spot in the 2022 Good Housekeeping Beauty Awards for its nourishing glycerin and panthenol formula. It creates a protective barrier that allows skin to heal and prevents moisture loss, according to the GH Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab's data evaluation.
