    no scratchies! but gentle pats are acceptable! moisturizing will help relieve the itchiness.

    also, very nice!

        there’s really no need to take possibly dangerous pharmaceuticals when a little lotion or aloe vera can do the trick.

        antihistamines are designed to fight histamines, that is allergens. itchiness from dry skin (from a healing tattoo) is not an allergic reaction, so treating it with allergy medication isn’t appropriate and exposes the patient to unnecessary risks from the drugs in the medication.
