Anyone have any good (UK) moisturiser recommendations for tattoos during the scabby stage?
I have been using Aveeno (like last time) but this time it's making the rest of my skin really itchy. The tattoo seems ok with it but the rest of my arm is reacting really badly, I've had to use Mopiko to calm it down Coconut oil is too greasy and Shea butter/cocoa butter quite thick and difficult to put on gently without tearing up the scabby bits.

@crabbynerd@mas.to My tattooist recommended Pebanthen (panthenol) for the entire healing period of my latest one. It’s not the nicest smelling product, but it works really well. I am making a huge assumption here, but I think it’s a widely available product in pharmacies.
