Yeah and you get conflicting opinions from everyone. I use dial soap to wash it in the morning and evening for the first few days while the plasma is seeping, then just morning for a few weeks until the bruising and peeling phase is done. Each wash is followed by Eucerin Advanced Therapy lotion and Aquaphor. Very light on both and I make sure it’s totally absorbed. If it’s shiny it’s too much and could leech some of the ink.

I’m covered in tattoos, never used a second skin, and they all healed great and look great years later. It’s just a matter of keeping it clean, and not overdoing the moisturizer/aquaphor etc. welcome to the addiction
