   Sure. It will be fine at this point, but you could really just use any soap (I recommend Dial) or just warm water. If it’s scabbed over, it’s healing just like it should be.

   “dove soap for sensitive skin” (comes in a greenish box) is AHWESOME for new tats!! :]

   i have found out two things from using soap with new tattoos, and i hope this information really helps….

   1. i have used many differennt soaps, mostly what my money can buy at the time (dove, olay, great value) all of them liquid, and they all dont harm that new tattoo on your body as long as you dont scrub at all!

   2. if it has frangrance it might sting just a little because of the different alcohol based combinations in it, so its a nicer wash if you find something that doesnt smell…

   But as for the johnsons baby wash, i use that too because if its safe for a baby, its safe for my tat! but just use anything and when you come to your tat just use your hand to clean that area instead of a loafa or a washcloth… and congratulations on the new tat! i just got one on tuesday of last week!
