There are several products on the market designed for aftercare of a new tattoo, but there is no indication these work better than soap and warm water for keeping the tattoo site clean.

==UV Tattoos==
In recent years, tattoos done with special inks that fluoress under UV lighting. These tattoos are difficult (but not impossible) to see under normal lighting conditions. UV ink is a popular ink to highlight already healed tattoos however the ink is difficult to work with because the color is not as bright and it doesnt mix well with other tattoo inks.
Some adverse effects, including skin irritation and redness, have been reported but by and large there is no indication that UV inks pose any threat to health.
