My tattoo artist once told me to apply the cream which treats burns and wounds for the first week. Second week just apply as usual but not much. Ointment is one thing but you should not stretch the area which covers your tattoo. Do not attempt to scratch it even if it itches.

Drillz of my ink.
Quite noob if i must say, can't make it to full sleeve due to my girlfriend's parents does not like ink that much.
Things we do for love.
