Is a Purely Vitamin E Cream Safe for a Healing Tattoo?

by Liposomes on May 13, 2010

Would a cream with just vitamin E in it be safe for a new, healing tattoo?

Could there be any risks?

Could it possibly be too strong?

The cream is called Vitamin E Liposome Cream.

I have ton’s of tattoo’s, anybody who’s anybody will tell you, only use A&D ointment, no vaseline, no lotion, only A&D. It smells like Tito Jackson’s feet, but it is the best solution available.

I think maybe and ointment I would call where u got tattoo and see what they suggest also if you do apply anything on it make sure you dont cake it on because I did that and my tattoo took a long time to heal only put very little amounts

Contact the place where you got the tattoo done and ask them your question and see what they say.

call your tattoo studio/artist and ask them.

also, keep in mind that “pure” vitamin E is an oil form. the cream has many, many more ingredients than just vitamin E, and there have been studies done that most so-called intensive vitamin E creams have maybe 3%, usually less vitamin E content.

There are risks with any product, I promise you. I highly doubt vitamin E is going to have a risk factor. However, I’m not saying there won’t be, either. My experience, and that of most all tattoo artists, if you ask them, is to heal ‘em up dry, and leave ‘em alone as much as possible. The body’s it’s own best healer. You would not believe the number of tattoos that are screwed up every year by well-intenioned aftercare. The only thing I really endorse, is Aloe Vera, cut straight from the plant. Use the insides of the plant, and smear it gently onto the tattoo. Amazing stuff. Take care.
