Tattoo Goo Tattoo Balm and Travel Size Balm Bundle, 3/4 oz & .33 oz Tin - Natural Tattoo Aftercare Balm with Beeswax and Cocoa Butter, Soothing Ointment, 2 Pack

Works great and smells good i would recommend

Tattoo Goo Pros: Scent (I like it, Eucalyptus-y?) Easy to spread. Thicker than a lotion but easy to spread even on freshly inked sensitive skin Perfect for travel or taking to work/wherever you may want something during a long day Seems good for color Cons: 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 star Lubriderm Pros: Very inexpensive and available everywhere. I'm seeing $0.11 per ounce Easiest to spread as it's a water based lightweight lotion Scent free, leaves no residue or stickiness or tackiness Great 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 residue Hustle Butter Pros: Vegan, Scent Free Color pops (might be psychological) Feels the most protective when applied to a fresh tattoo Feels like it stays around and lasts longer per application Con: 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 bad Aquaphor Pros: Price is very good at $1.35/oz right now, and it's available everywhere in different sizes Easy to spread, yet thicker and feels more protective than a lotion. Goldilocks consistency Scent Free Cons: 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.

Keeps your tattoo clean and moisturized. Not greasy. And you only need a little tiny bit to cover the area.
