Works really well. A small price to pay vs standard lotions, to protect my artwork and skin

Hydrates the tattoo, no skin infection, clean.

I was looking for a water-based tattoo ointment/moisturizer when I purchased this and it works great! It’s really light and dries in a few minutes.

this is the best for after care! my tats heal quickly with just small layers through the day

Got this cream for a tattoo as I’ve used several and I have to say this is one of my new favorites!! Highly recommend!

I had always been told to use A&D cream (burn cream essentially) but my newest tattoo artist recommended H2Ocean products. Apparently it's the newest thing everyone's pushing. I always do what my tattooer says even though they all have different opinions because when I come back years later and say the tattoo didn't hold up I have to be able to say I followed their personal recommendations to a T. So it is that I bought a bottle of H2Ocean.It applies white with a minor smell, but nothing as bad as A&D. But once it dries it's clear, and you can put clothes over it and it doesn't rub off too much. It forms a clear barrier to your skin which I liked. It's a bit more expensive than other options, and there will be something new next week that everyone's in to, but it's worth it to follow your particular artist's recommendations.I would recommend talking to your artist about Saniderm. Saniderm is like plastic wrap with adhesive on one side, but unlike plastic wrap it breathes. They use this stuff when someone gets really bad burns and have flesh that doesn't have the protection of skin anymore. They adhere this Saniderm oxygen-permeable membrane and it lets the skin breathe and heal naturally with it's own oils and such while keeping germs out. You apply it immediately after your tattoo, then take it off after 24 hours, wash the tattoo gently, then put on a fresh sheet of Saniderm. That second sheet can be left on for another week. That means no more creams, daily washings, or getting ink on your clothes or sheets. They say it holds the color better too. I can't tell you if that's true or not, but man is it convenient. My artist that told me to use H2Ocean had never heard of Saniderm, so run it by your artist and see if they're up to speed.TL;DRUse whatever product your tattoo artist recommends. If they know about Saniderm, use that and use H2Ocean as a lotion when the Saniderm comes off.Saniderm tattoo bandage in 6" x 8′ roll Clear Adhesive Antibacterial bandage

I got my first tat 3 weeks ago and I didn't know what to expect. This stuff was recommended by the shop, and I used it as directed, from the third day on. I experienced little to no itching at all. I'm not sure if it was the product, or the skill of the artist, but I will definitely use this again after my next one! I still use daily.

I work outside so I sweat constantly and get light exposure as well as dirt on my skin, after a good cleaning this lotion completely moistens my tattoo and makes it look almost day one fresh.
