    i havent used anything on it apart from my normal moisturiser, but then again, mine is only a little pentagram.

    awww, you got a pentagram. that's fab. I have on me lower back.
    I got a small daisy on me neck as it's my favourite flower.

    Well they say so long as it's ph balanced and it aint scented which I don't think it is. so it should be grand, shouldn't it?

    Oh thats so cool, i've always wanted a tattoo on the back of my neck just can't think of anything to put there.

    I always just put aloe and an uncented/colored moisturizer on all my tattoos. cheap and easy.

    i love mine. its my first tattoo.
    my bf got one at the same place (sugary sweetness - at least its not a name)
    its an evil pentagram. im thinking of getting a `good` pentagram underneath it.

    i was told to use piles cream. worked a treat, actually.

    nivea should be fine. what i'd do is dab a tiny bit on a smal part of your tattoo, wait a while to see if it stings or reacts, and if not, go to town.

    Cheers for the info guys. Been using nivea and seems to be working fine with it.
    Been about 4 years since I got a tattoo so kinda forget how it all works, etc. Got me tattoo done just 2-3 days ago. Just checking that it is normal for it to still feel tender, is it?
