Can I Use Vaseline On My Tattoo
Olivia Luz
Air moving over a wound helps the healing.
Vaseline is known to pull the color out of tattoos. Because vaseline is non porous watertight it can be applied over a tattoo before getting into a shower and it will protect the area from any water that may spray against it. Vaseline is used during getting the tattoo because it draws ink out of the skin and it makes it easier to wipe off excess ink so the artist can see where more ink is needed. If you can mange to get your hands on it there s this stuff called tattoo goo which works wonders for tats.
Do not use vaseline on your tattoo any more or ever again. This is because the moisture trapping effects also block your new tattoo wound from getting air. However vaseline isn t a good option for tattoos.
