![]() Ocean Care Tattoo Aftecare Rich Vitamins A, C, and E Creamy Formula $14.55 I hate to rain on the parade of people who claim that H2Ocean is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have a photorealistic tat going right now involving many sessions. My tat artist wanted me to use H2Ocean cream so I said OK. I was a little surprised to see that 2.5 ozs cost $10 but what the heck. I have used this product for three separate tattoo sessions. The first session was very light line work and it turned out OK. I didn't see any difference between H2Ocean and Lubriderm or A&D but since my artist wanted me to use it, I continued. My second session involved a lot of color and layers. Despite meticulous cleanliness and H2Ocean, I got two small areas of infection. I had to blast myself with penicillin to knock out the infection. The notion that H2Ocean is antibacterial and prevents infection may be a bit overhyped. It didn't stop me from getting a small infection. Quite frankly I think that you are a lot better off with a real disinfectant and some Lubriderm to moisturize the tat. The hype about sea salt and natural to your body is all a bunch of baloney. This is a moisturizer with some vitamins in it. As such it isn't bad but it is not a panacea for all tattoo ills. And it is damn expensive compared to other choices. When the tube is empty, I am back on Lubriderm which I know works just fine. Also the notion that it helps eliminate scabbing is just not true. My scabbing was probably greater in session 2 than after any of my other tat sessions with this or other tats I have. The body has its own healing cycle and this stuff is not going to change that. You are going to scab and peel with or without H2Ocean so don't be duped by people who tell you otherwise. It is a nice moisturizer and it is creamy but it isn't worth $10 for 2.5 oz when I can buy Lubriderm or other fine products for much less. Somebody is making big $$$ when they are getting this kind of money for such a small amount of product. And to boot I notice that the list price is about $15. That is ridiculous for 2.5 ozs of non-clogging moisturizer. My $.02. If my experience changes as I finish out the tube, I will update the review. ![]() Kisses are a better fate... $4.00 Letterpress-printed card features the following quote from e.e. cummings: Kisses are a better fate than wisdom ![]() E-Cuts Cards (Download and Print) Valentine Topiary Tree Welcome to the future of cardmaking!
