Question by John S: Can I use this lotion on my tattoo?
My tattoo is on my forearm, its 3 days old. I am using “The Real Shaving Co. Post Shave Skin Soothing Balm”

Its a moisturizing skincare formula.

Contains: Aqua, Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cylcomethicone, Triethanolamine, Lanolin, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Parfum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Allantoin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butyphenyl Methlpropional, Limonene, Linalool.

Is this safe to use on my tattoo? It is day 3 and it is very dry, scaly, and starting to scab.. I can see dead white skin on the black ink.
Thanks.
