bepanthen is fine...recommended even.
oh...sorry, you got the wrong type of bepanthen? Probably still fine.
picking the scabs will make it look great! honest, guv...
yep bepanthen recommended as littlesmoke said.
if your tattos is of a baby's bum then this is fine..
i've only used bepanthen. just don't slather it on too thickly or it can leach the ink out of your skin.
I've used the nappyrash one a few times... works a treat, but it's pretty thick and gooey.
note to self: read post properly before replying
the antiseptic aspect of it seems to be the only difference. it's probably better to have the antiseptic one
not sure brother dude
i will say this - make sure it doesn't have vitamin E in it! that shit will pull ink out like a mother
And also sting like a mother.
ta.... so the answer is it should be cool? i've used standard bepanthen for the past 3 days. the initial brutality is over. reckon i've got one more spoooge left in my old tube before it's nappy time.
bump for confirmation??
Did you end up getting PROPERTY OF SHE HUNTER across your bum, like you wanted to?
Dude its fine and the nappy one is totes fine, just don't put too much on there so that it gets like... soggy (ew).
back piece actually
thanxx kittypants
they make another 'first aid' one that uses a better antiseptic in it than the regular 'bepanthen antiseptic'. the ointment is just a protectant (like most nappy rash creams) so you'll have a nice smooth tattoo-ed area (i presume it was your arse you got done?).
bepanthen is totally fine
the question actually was is all the variations of the bepanthen range ok. apparently the answer is yes!!
Yep. Used it for all mine.
i love how virtually every single person in this thread has misread yr question, volfy.
i also enjoyed that, aside from the value of asking chats serious questions.
Thirded. I was going to write some arrogant snarky comment about it, but I thought better of it.
i read it properly :(
i thought the thread was ''taboo aftercare question''
it's not basically the same shit, though. it is different, and not as good, but in your situation it wouldn't have mattered.
i thought my initial question was pretty clear. USE YR EYEZ DICKHEADS!!! love yewwww
Lucas paw paw ointment is all I've ever used
I have bepanthan nappy rash- that it what was reccommended to me.
I use Doubt Seeds - Bluebottle Kiss
yes but what for?
Reccommended for my tattoo would you believe?
Reccommendded
what is your tattoo tramdriver, is it on your bottom
That appears to be a question, but there is no question mark so I guess it is just a lame joke.
Haha at this thread. Proving quite definitively that roughly 75% of people with tattoos are idiots.
and your post offers 100% proof of?
I have no idea Peter, I'm sure you can come up with something suitably scathing and/or witty though.
nappy rash bepanthen had it's first turn this morning. ol' sticky pants mcgee they call me.
Apologies to 75% of people with tattoos, I woke up at 4am with a blocked nose and was in a shitty mood because I couldn't get back to sleep. You guys are alright!
FUCK YOU DUDE
Hey, I thought you made the question pretty clear DUDE.
Don't apologise Happycow. You made me giggle lots.
Yeah I regret that now, F U 75%
jokes dude....i'm just chilling. love yewwwwwwwwww
Mine healed fine with bepanthan nappy rash stuff.
