I asked this same question here a while ago and got a few good answers.
However, here's what I use on all of mine and also what my ink artist receommends:

When you first get inked up - say, the first three or four days, use A&D ointment (any drugstore for like $4 - $6 bucks). Then switch to a non-scented lotion, I use Lubriderm, till it's totally healed or when it itches.

Speaking of itching, it's a good thing - but DON'T SCRATCH!! Slap it (I know it sounds strange) but man, it feels sooooo much better.

Have fun, and I hope it looks great!!

I recommend a product called Aquaphor that you can buy it most drugstores for around $6. It's great because it keeps your skin moisturized (which is super important for tattooed skin) in addition to its healing effects. This makes it better than Neosporin and the like.

Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Daily Replenishing Lotion is also a great product to aid in tattoo healing. It's also fragrance free (like the Aquaphor) which is very important.

Hope that helps!
