No, in all seriousness, using some can soothe the itching.
Curel is a very respected lotion amongst tattooists.

Aloe vera. You can get live plants at the local Home Depot or whatever, and most plant nurseries carry it as well. You can get lotions with it as well, but nothing beats breaking open a leaf and using the juice straight from the plant.

You can slap it to relieve the itch. Just don't scratch it.

Slap that bastard lightly..
If you apply any products aside from bacitracin (sp?) before its done healing, you're looking at 1) infection 2) improper healing/scarring or 3) faded color.

use just regular unscented lubriderm, my artist said that if you use aloe vera you will burn the hell out of it.

It's itching because its healing; hand lotions and whatnot are for when its done healing. You're cruising for a touchup in a few weeks/months if you put any of that crap on there before it stops peeling.

I always used vaseline intensive care lotion to moisturize my tattoos.. but wait until at least 24 hours after the tattoo.. after you are done with the bacitrin application. And this goes without saying but after you take a shower don't rub the towel on it.. blot it gently. In some cases try not to even get it wet as the scab will just get swollen with water.
