google search on triple antibiotic ointment

I was always told that tattoos need to heal naturally, so do not need any
kind of antibiotic ointment on them. Something about the ointment can pull
the ink out since it's supposed to clean it or whatever. So I do a search:
"triple antibiotic ointment" tattoo" and what comes up? Almost every single
link says to use antibiotic ointment on a new tattoo. Out of the many, many
tattoo websites, I found ONE that did not recommend using the ointment. I
gave up after awhile because I had other things to do. There are even
several bme pages I found recommending the use of it.

I did use A&D(without zinc) if the itching got too bad but not antibiotic
anything. Lotion is bad for my skin but A&D doesn't bother it so I've always
used it when my hands are dry in the winter. I have never had problems with
my tattoos healing.

1. "snorfle"?
2. A statement of fact has nothing to do with logic.

You might want to search "triple antibiotic ointment, tattoo, dangers"
as well.

Hmm. That wasn't much better. I changed my search string to "triple
antibiotic ointment and tattoos" which was nearly identical to yours
anyway and eventually spotted:

"Some people have been known to develop an allergy to Bacitracin,
Triple antibiotic and other ointments may contain it. We do not
recommend it. Nor do we recommend plain Vaseline. Lotions are safest in
warm weather. Keeping it moist will speed the healing process, but your
tattoo needs to breathe. Heavy application of petroleum based ointments
can suffocate the tattoo and cause a rash." From:
http://www.risingdragon.com/FAQ/takecare.html

I'd go with the anecdotal yadayada myself and avoid the goop. I do
recall, however, using a dot or so of A&D on my Calvin and Hobbes. My
leg didn't fall off. ;o) Otoh, A&D's something that risingdragon.com's
link recommends.

Now, THERE's a sound effect I never read.

(Googles)

Oh. Never mind.

Marie, I missed the whole anti-triple antibiotic ointment warning back
when I was getting my tattoos. But did you notice the link Nina offered
elsewhere in RAB?

www.apua.org

Yes I read that. That's a good reason not to use it for healing tattoos.

Why would you use an antibiotic on something that isn't infected?

Yeah well, you know what, I wouldn't. My point was that in my search, the
majority of tattoo sites recommend you to use it on new tattoos.

the majority of artists are more interested in covering their own
asses than your work healing perfectly.

most people who "have no problem healing" don't know how they heal
otherwise, & so have nothing to compare.

So they recommend the antibiotic ointment to cover their asses? That's
actually an interesting theory. I will have to look further into this.

Some do, I think. Others recommend antibiotic ointment because theyre
fucking morons.

Marie, you got mixed up. What you really found is that within that
subset of tattoo sites containing the string "triple antibiotic
ointment", the majority recommend triple antibiotic ointment.

You miss Elzi, but you don't listen to her sound advice. You insist on
being a turd when it would... behoove (God, I love that word) you to
simply shut your own mouth if your goal is to have someone else shut
theirs. And, no, this isn't a case of pot, kettle, black, btw, as I
don't care if you shut up or not.

Also, I can well imagine some people thinking that an antibiotic would
be a good preventative measure - not that that's correct, but I
wouldn't be surprised that there are people out there. Hey, people do
stupid stuff. I mean, look at your earlobe tattoo. You thought that was
rather stupid eventually, right?

Right.
