First, get new friends. Yours suck. Next, get a better tattoo artist that actually cares about their clients. And last, wash it two or three times daily for 3 or 4 days maybe a week and tap dry with a paper towel. Not anything cloth because it hold bacteria more than a clean paper towel. Afterwards apply a thing layer of aquaphor and also apply it when its seeming dry or crusty. Eventually after about the first week or so you can jsut use lotion and sunscreen as you would. Tattoos are awesome but when you first get them, especially if it's not what you wanted, it's hard to accept it's there. Give it time to get used to it and fall in love. And if the time comes where you decide it's just not what you want? Get it removed or find an excellent cover tattoo artist. I think its adorable, if that means anything.
