I knew an artist that recommended Preperation H for the tattoos.

Yes, I said Preperation H, the hemmeroid cream. Thinking about it, it reduces swelling, numbs the pain, and is antibiotic... You just have to get past the whole "Rubbing Ass Cream" on your arm or leg. I never did it, and I don't personally endorse it, but it shows you that aftercare can differ widely from place to place.

Polysporin allows the scab to heal properly. Infection is a serious concern, even with all of the precautions taken. Letting it breathe is good, but I would recommend that you put poly on more than twice a day. You don't want it to dry out!

Yes, some people are allergic to the dye in some colours, and that happens. The body just rejects the tattoo. In that case (serious colour loss) your artist should do touch-ups for free. Don't take advantage of the service, and give lots of notice so they can fit you in around new clients. Don't blame the artist for colour loss. It happens.
