Getting your first tattoo is a BIG decision. What should you get? Where should you get it? Are you sure you want it on your body for the rest of your life?
If you want your tattoo to heal properly you've got to be on it when it comes to the aftercare. The skin will get dry and it may scab, but you have to resist the urge to give it a scratch and ensure you moisturise your skin regularly.
One product tattoo artists swear by is cocoa butter, and when it comes to cocoa butter you can't get much better (or should we say butter?) than Palmer's. And better (butter) yet, this moisturiser can be yours for only £2.99.

Yep, you heard us right. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy is a great affordable option when it comes to tattoo aftercare. Not to mention it's super convenient - it comes in a handy squeeze-y container making application much easier.
Not to mention it makes for some great all-purpose moisturiser that you can use on the rest of your body after your tattoo has fully healed and if you're planning on getting more tattoos this moisturiser can make for a great item to have ready for future ink.
When you apply it make sure you have washed your hands thoroughly and slo ensure not to put too much on. Your tattoo shouldn't be wet, make sure you apply sparingly.
