13 Products You'll Need to Heal and Care For Your New Tattoo

Aquaphor Healing Ointment ($16, originally $17)

The Aquaphor Healing Ointment helps with plenty of skin concerns like excessive dryness, irritation, and itchiness (and even burns and cuts), so it's no surprise that it'll come in handy for a new tattoo. This is a water-free formula that forms a protective barrier around the affected area to protect it from the outside environment. It's also pretty breathable, but you should only put a thin layer of this on your new tattoo.
