As Scotty said, use bepanthan or if you can get you hands on it, protatt.

Do not pick at it! Do not peel the skin off! Do not scratch! Do not expose it to severe sunlight!

Weird, I was told to try not to get mine wet for as long as possible.

But yes, Bepanthen I can't recommend highly enough.

I want another tattoo now :(
