The most important thing is to use an ointment that will keep it moist and not irritate the sensitive, healing area. we use Aquaphor in my office. However, there are a ton of other products out there and just look for one that is both natural, has few ingredients, does not have perfume and a bunch of unnatural products added to it. It ultimately comes down to putting on something which does not interfere with your bodies ability to heal itself. Most importantly do not sunburn the area.congratulations on using a Picosure laser for your tattoo. It is the best laser out there for tattoos. do you realize that the Picosure laser is also superb for doing laser facials to improve the skin on your face, neck, decollete, and hands?david berman md
