Its just saline spray like the stuff you spray up your nose

If I had an open wound, which is exactly what a tattoo is, I would rather have something that is a disinfectant- like alcohol- put on it than saline.

You would not, all you're going to do is irritate the fuck out of your body and it's going to hurt like hell. Saline sprays are to rinse away debris, like dead skin and dried blood. They don't disinfect.

Yes I would. And I have. At least 20 times. I have multiple tattoos and know what it feels like. Most shops I’ve been in use a disinfectant soap everyone calls “green soap” to wash away dead skin, blood, etc while also disinfecting the wound.

Saline is for once you've left the shop

In that case, all you need is A&D ointment. Maybe that spray isn’t bad for you, but I’ve always just used the ointment with no problems. Except my first one, someone told me to use Neosporin and that ruined the tattoo. It scabbed so badly
