    All sounding great at your end. Beware when the tattoo gets to the itchy stage. Massaging that cream in really helps with the urge.

    I've been warned about the itchy thing - and told that the cream helps but also slapping it can help with not scratching!

    I was advised cocoa butter for my tattoo. I'm now trying to use up the whole bottle - I don't particularly like the smell so my elbows, knees and feet are getting very well lathered 😂 I'm fortunate in that I never got an itchy phase! Mine is just a small line drawing though, so it never really got irritated at all.

    Rubbing the cream in with your knuckles also can help alleviate it.
