Billy Jealousy Tattoo Lotion for All Skin Types Formulated with Shea Butter, Essential Oils & Green Tea Leaf Extract, Tattoo Aftercare that Nourishes, Brightens & Soothes

I'm on my second 8oz bottle after two full day tattoo sessions. This is my go-to lotion to use 2-4 weeks after a new tattoo. Some people correctly noted that the lotion is not good to use immediately after getting ink. I tried using it in the first week and can confirm that it irritates the skin and stings. The salve is meant to be used initially and the lotion in meant to be used later in the healing process.Once the initial bandage comes off, I recommend only using Hustle Butter for the first few weeks when the tattoo is an open wound. I havent tried the Billy Jealousy salve but that may be a great option also. As the tattoo starts to heal more, I alternate Hustle Butter with this lotion. By week 4, I'm exclusively using this lotion. It's the perfect consistency so that it is absorbed in my skin within 5 minutes or so and I can lay in bed without it getting all over. When I put it on my back in the morning I wait a few minutes for the lotion the be absorbed and then I can put a t shirt on without making a mess. In the first few months I like to use the lotion a few times a day if possible, but I've found that if I put it on in the morning, I can go all day without my skin drying out - and I live in a dry, arid climate.For back tattoos, a lotion applicator stick came in handy. Readily available on Amazon.The smell is absolutely fantastic and I never get tired of it. It's a suitable and pleasing scent for all genders.
