Is Lansinoh (breastfeeding ointment) good to use on tattoos?
So I was reading through questions on here, and some people have recommended using nipple ointment made for breastfeeding moms with sore and cracked nipples on healing tattoos. Who has done this, and is it better than using, say, A&D? Lanolin is the main ingrediant is one such ointment called Lansinoh, which is kinda like a moisterizing protectant for dry and cracked skin, mixed with vaseline to make the ointment.
orry i ment petroleum jelly not vaseline… well i guess they are the same anyway, but thats the base for all ointments regardless
I used bepanthen which is what you’ve described on my tattoo and it works excellent the fact that it is also an anti-sceptic helps with healing as well. It was recommended by my (very experienced) tattooist and two of my friends have also used it, none of our tattoos had any problems and my friend was in fact complimented by his tattooist on how well he’d taken care of his. I did NOT use vaseline i dont see any reason why you would need to, just make sure you dont rub to hard when applying it and to keep your tattoo moist not smothered.
