Coconut oil and tattoo aftercare
Polynesian people like Samoans, have used coconut oil on their tattoos for a very long time. They mostly use it when the tattoo is done or when it heals. The major benefit of coconut oil is that it makes the tattoo bright.
Experts say that coconut oil [3] keeps the skin under the tattoo moist and helps to fight against infections. However, the evidence is anecdotal and there is no proof that it is effective.
It is important to seek advice from a doctor or your tattoo artist before using coconut oil, to prevent any complications.
