• Promotes wound healing• Can continue to be used after tattoo care• Free of preservatives and fragrancesYes, it's a nappy cream, we know. Bepanthen isn't technically a tattoo cream, but is often used as aftercare for fresh tattoos. It stimulates wound healing and is quickly absorbed. It's also usually cheaper than tattoo creams that you can get from the tattooist's – plus, if you've got kids, you might already have it lying around. Reviewed by Closer Writer, Lily Anderson: "Surprisingly, the best tattoo cream I've ever tried is Bepanthen. Not only does it help the ink heal quickly, but it also makes the colours stand out bolder."One disadvantage is the firm consistency, which makes applying it a bit tricky – it can make the tattoo gooey for a while. Some say it's best for small tattoos rather than big ones.

• Includes a balm, lotion, and wash • Handy-sized tin• Contains SPF Reviewed by Closer Writer, Jade Moscrop: "This Tattoo Goo aftercare kit has everything you need to heal your new ink and keep it looking fresh. The balm and lotion seem to heal the tattoo more quickly than other creams, and the wash gently cleans the area while ensuring it holds the colour well - plus, the combination of the two really soothes that frustrating itch. The tin is the perfect size to keep in your pocket or bag and the Renew lotion contains SPF which you can use long after your tattoo has healed to keep it protected."

• Is easy to apply• Relieves itching• Is quickly absorbed and non-greasyMany tattoo artists and customers swear by TattooMed's tattoo care. It is easy to apply, absorbs quickly and isn't greasy. However, TattooMed's cream, like Bepanthen, contains paraffin, which can be harmful to the skin in the long run.

• Easy to apply • Non-greasy • Easily available in shops Reviewed by Empire Writer, Will Lobley: "First, spend a few days with your new ink under cling film. This will help to prevent scaring, scabbing and marbling (especially important for joints and ditches). Make sure that you are regularly washing the tattoo with warm water and perfume-free soap, and letting it air dry before applying the fresh PVC wrap."After two or three days, apply aqueous cream between two and four times a day, depending on your skin type. This will keep the tattoo supple and moisturised, which will reduce flaking, keep the lines looking fresh and bold and won't bleach the colour. Make sure you don't go overboard with this though, as you don't want the tattoo to go gooey."

• Vegan• Promotes wound healing• Can be used before, during and after tattooing• Ingredients include mango, coconut, papaya and shea butterHustle Butter Deluxe is really popular because of its coconut scent, which we can't get enough of (it reminds us of sun cream on holiday). The other selling point for this tattoo cream is the ingredients: it's natural, organic and vegan.
