Tattoo Goo

Does anyone know where I could buy some Tattoo Goo or the like in Tainan?
I am getting two pieces done on Sunday and need something to help me heal well.

Just go to any disco and ask the ugly guy with all the tattoos.  He'll know.

It seems most Taiwanese don't use it here. They recommend the exact opposite advice on helping a tattoo heal than what I get in Canada.
PS: I like that you used the word "Disco." Exactly how old are you Jazz?

Real helpful, Jazz. I've

I've always used unscented Lubriderm for my tattoos. It works well and doesn't contain petroleum jelly, which inhibits healing. The reason most of the tattoos look so bad in Taiwan is because they allow it to scab and then pick at it. With enough moisturizer, you should never have a scab. It should peel much like a sunburn.
In my honest opinion tho, I would wait until later in the fall/early winter to get ink done, as heat and humidity just increases the risk of any complications, and slows the healing process even further.

  Good advice. They were


 

Good advice. They were telling me to just use soap and hot water. They said I didn't need to put any moisturizer etc on it. But when I did my back piece in Canada, they gave me some gel to put on it. It healed beautifully with it.

Where can I buy Lubriderm? Do you think pure aloe is a good alternative?
