DEAR GOD NO! NEVER USE A&D OINTMENT! EVER FOR ANY REASON! that crap will pull the color out. cocoa butter unscented, wal mart. 3 bucks cheaper makes the colors look deeper no matter how old they are. never wrap it, those are the two carnal sins of tattoos!

Everyone has their methods:
Main thing is, keep it lubed up as much as possible (not too much).
A&D works [What I used - Yellow]
Neosporin works [ What all my rock n' roll buddies use]
Unscented Cocoa Butter works [ Never used it ]
Main thing, stay away from Alcohol ingredients, stay away from scents (usually contain alcohol). Keep it clean and stay away from Jacuzzis and Pools for a while.
And don't start big, start small on a solid spot (I started on my wrist and worked up... and around and all about lol).
***Plan on adding abot 5 more in the first year or so after your first one, they are CRAZY addictive***
