Can I use this on my tattoo?

http://www.sephora.com/yoghurt-cooling-gel-P96603

Korres After-Sun Cooling gel...as an alternative or in addition to unscented lotion. I was told to treat my tattoo kind of like a sunburn, and this is what I use for sunburn and it's very gentle and all natural, which I feel would be better for my skin than a generic and chemically supplemented lotion, scented or not. (This stuff isn't scented, I meant for the lotion). It's a small tattoo with little damage, so there's less risk of irritation (and I already know how my skin reacts to this stuff). It helps my sunburn heal, even if it's blistering, so I think it'd be a good idea but I'd love to know from someone who knows more about tattoos or who has tried it.

Thanks!

    I don't know the product, but I do know that natural aloe vera will certainly help. Another thing that will help is a good Lavender essential oil... it will stop infection and it smells pretty good.

    If it gets ooky, dab on some Desitin diaper crème... if it will dry up a zit overnight, it will help just about anything else.

    I recommend this after your tattoo healing process is done(after scabbing/peeling)

    when ur tat is still fresh better to put a&d ointment on it(to avoid infection)

    Remember: Tattoo is a wound ! that needs to cure :)

    Btw yes! u need to put sunblock when its healed daily to avoid fading & long lasting
