the elbow on up into my arm pit. As far as deodorant goes, I laid off of it
on my left arm for about a week (7 days give or take). This was mainly done
by me, the arteest said (if I remember correctly - it was quite a few years
ago...this was my first piece) deodorant would be no problem after the scabs
started to form. Just don't lay it on to heavy/thick. And FYI, There is a
portion of the tattoo that gets covered by deodorant daily - and there is no
difference form that ink and the ink that doesn't. So deodorant doesn't
seem to to have any effect on tattoos (in my own exp.).

not be conservative and stay away from it during the healing process.

That's pretty funny. A popular way of transferring the stencil from the
paper to your skin is to coat the skin with deodorant.
No, deodorant won't have any effect on your tattoo.

I have tattoos in both of my armpits, a large skull in my left armpit
done by Cilla of "Original Skin" in Tottenham, North London and
a large fanged mouth that fills the whole of my right armpit which was
inked by Zane using a rotary gun (weird sensation, pleasant but miss
hearing the buzz of the needle) at the Outpost birthday bash in Stoke
Newington.
While each of these were healing I simply laid off of the spray
deodorant as it quite simply explains not to use on broken skin. As long
as you keep the area clean and are not an excessive sweater you should
experience no probs.

after the skin is open and raw.
In the scenario you describe, the steps that come after the application of
the stencil will remove most of the deodorant.
I have not seen deodorant used. I have seen a solution of green soap and
water used.
"Deodorant" covers a lot of products. They may have different effects.
It is best to be safe and keep the tattoo clean.

I beg to differ. Repeated use of deodorant COULD have an effect on a new
tattoo. Think about it. Deodorants use various perfumes to mask odors and to
make it appeal to the consumers sense of smell. Whatever is used to create
the scent could cause irritation in the tattooed skin. I agree with Geoffrey.
Keep it clean and use an antibacterial ointment with no added ingredients.

Just a thought but the deodorant I use says "Do not apply to broken
skin"....personally I'd call a tattoo broken skin.

Yeah, and this one has been a source of continuous amusement to me. Those
crystals are usually sold as "more natural" than commercial deodorants.
tee hee ... what they are is 100% aluminum salts. (I can not remember the
exact formula at this hour) Aluminum Potassium Phosphate maybe? Anyway,
this is exactly the active ingredient in all commercial deodorants.
So when you use those crystals you are not using the perfumes and other
things that are part of commercial deodorant. You are giving yourself a
pure jolt of what the active ingredient is though. I am not sure that is a
good thing. You are certainly not doing anything healthier.
I should say, I am sort of down on the entire concept of deodorant on a
variety of grounds. So ... I don't use any kind.

I think what they're supposed to do (advertised as doing) is open your pores
and clean out all the junk. Most of the time I don't smell too bad (I hope
I'm not in denial), so I think they work! :)

Whoops, pardon me. When I read his post, I thought he meant *before*
getting the tat!
I use no deodorant (anti-perspirant, actually) for a couple of weeks
*after* getting a tat, because I think it would make the skin dry, and
the whole point of tattoo care is to keep the skin moist.
I like Doc Holliday's point about fragrances and additives, too.

Aluminum salts are adstringents, they constrict the pores and sweat
glands. This is why you sweat less. The smell of sweat is not caused by
sweat itself, but by bacteria living on the skin and in the pores who
"eat" sweat ingredients and dead skin cells. Aluminum salts are not very
good for them, so there are less bacteria, and the sweat doesn't start
smelling bad.

A quickie comment: not ALL but MOST.My mom uses commercial deodorants,
but not any with the Aluminum thingie ingredient. (She's so allergic to
aluminum that we can't even use it with stuff we cook.)
As to whether or not her product would affect a tattoo, I couldn't tell
you. She'll never get one.

Do you know, in answer to Telefina's question, if they would work on a
pit tat without hurting it? (the nerves or the tattoo) Also, CAN one
use that stuff on an open abrasion? Would one even want to risk it?
~ Rebekah, who will not get her pits tattooed cuz what if she sweated
during the session? (how embarrassing... the artists are so
handsome...)

Actually these are not deodorants per se. They are antiperspirants. They
prevent you from sweating by disrupting the electron balance of the skin that
pulls the sweat out. If you don't perspire you are drier. If you are drier you
bacteria cannot grow.

Some think Aluminum compounds are linked to alzheimer disease.

Good for you. So that means you actually smell like a human as opposed to
tropical fruits or the musky sexual smells of other animals.

What I am saying is that their method of working is no different from
commercial deodorants. The chemistry is the same. They are surely no more
natural than commercial deodorants except that they lack the extra perfumes
and other cosmetic compounds that make the fill out the picture with
commercial products.

Well, the risks are the same as they are for standard commercial deodorants
all of which use Aluminum salts.
I tend to think that these deodorants are not a good idea for a tattoo.
Foremost is the general idea that the less done (other than moisturizer)
during the initial healing process the better. Many deodorants with an
Aluminum salt basis do recommend applying to an open wound or sore, which a
tattoo is.
My advice is to avoid anything on a fresh (not yet peeled) tattoo that is
not directly a part of the "keep it moist" dictum. As an astringent, a
deodorant runs counter to that. Crystal deodorants are not different in
this regard.

I know, you all think that now I'm going to say, "No, that's an
Urban Legend", but I'm not. But on the other hand, there is *not*
an established link between the two. For an accessible treatment
