I purchased this along with the salve in a tin. The salve works great and is a good moisturizer, but this is a totally different story. I've tried this now on a small tat and on 1/4 of a sleeve, and both times I thought it was awful. For me, it actually seems like it dries out the area. I have no idea how this is possible, but it literally feels dry after I rub it in. I swear by the Tattoo Goo wash, and the salve is very good, but this stuff does not work for me at all.
