Tattoo GooOriginal Aftercare Balm, Natural Tattoo Balm with Beeswax and Cocoa Butter, Soothing Ointment and Brightening Care, .75 oz; Packaging May Vary

I never scab using this product which results in long lasting color. I always get it with the antibacterial soap for new tattoos and to use daily on piercings as well.

This is the only tattoo balm I've used in 20 years. It feels soothing on a fresh tattoo. Helps my tattoos heal nicely. Scent is light and pleasant.

I have a really hot Palestinian tattoo artist doing a blackout sleeve with negative imagery and color and this stiff is great.Yeah, She is sexy btw.This is all you need for fresh tattoos.

I felt this soothed my skin after my Tatoo. Nothing calmed it except this. Only down fall is it can rub off on your clothes. I didn't care if it did because it moisturized, calmed the itching and smells great.

By far the highest quality product.I have a lot of tattoos.Whether it's rejuvenating an aged dried out piece or it's protecting your new ink this product is fantastic.I've tried a lot of tattoo protection and moisturizing products and this is the best I've used. Having a new sleeve, my only wish is this came in a larger container. I go through one container a week.

Tattoo GooPros:Scent (I like it, Eucalyptus-y?)Easy to spread. Thicker than a lotion but easy to spread even on freshly inked sensitive skinPerfect for travel or taking to work/wherever you may want something during a long daySeems good for colorCons:Scent (it has a scent, many products don't and you may not want a smell)Expensive. Over $11 an ounce, even doing thin layers it doesn't last terribly long for larger areas. The cost per ounce and how long it lasts and why I took off the starLubridermPros:Very inexpensive and available everywhere. I'm seeing $0.11 per ounceEasiest to spread as it's a water based lightweight lotionScent free, leaves no residue or stickiness or tackinessGreat for freshly healed, long term, non tattoo'd skin, any dry areas, if you are only going to get one for cost or simplicity get this one.Cons:None really. It is thinner being a lotion and whether there is anything to it or not, on a fresh tattoo that needs healing I prefer something heavier, a balm or ointment, to feel like I"m leaving a slight protective layer (very slight) vs it all just absorbing in and being "done". But really, absorbing in and being gone is probably what you actually want so Lubriderm is just really good especially long term as it doesn't leave any perceptive residual residueHustle ButterPros:Vegan, Scent FreeColor pops (might be psychological)Feels the most protective when applied to a fresh tattooFeels like it stays around and lasts longer per applicationCon:Much harder to spread than the others, difficult to get full coverage on larger pieces especially without irritating the skin with the amount of pressure and work needed to spread the product out thin enough. On a fresh tattoo I feel like I'm either irritating it with too much spreading, or it's on too thick. I don't use it on fresh ones any more due to this.Price is middling at $4.75/oz right now, not badAquaphorPros:Price is very good at $1.35/oz right now, and it's available everywhere in different sizesEasy to spread, yet thicker and feels more protective than a lotion. Goldilocks consistencyScent FreeCons:Leaves a little more residual residue than you might want for regular long term use, I think Aquaphor is exceptionally good for fresh and healing tattoos but Lubriderm lotion is my favorite for regular long term use.

I have no complaints with this product. It def helped with the healing of my last tattoo which I had absolutely no issues or hard times with. Sometimes it helps to spend the extra dollar and in my case it did. I appreciate the use of ingredients. I have also used it as a balm for my lips to soften and smooth.

The best tattoo stuff on the market in my opinion. Goes on smooth and not greasy like some others. Great to keep my tattoos looking fresh and new.
