"Got this for my back piece and it's been incredible. No scabbing, no fading, and the pot is massive—still going strong after 3 months of daily use. My artist even asked what I was using!"
- Step 1: Wait until your artist removes the initial wrap (usually 2-4 hours after your session).
- Step 2: Gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel—never rub.
- Step 3: Apply a thin layer of balm to the entire tattooed area. A little goes a long way—you want a light sheen, not a thick coat.
- Step 4: Repeat 2-3 times daily for 2-4 weeks, or until your tattoo is fully healed and no longer peeling.
- Don't over-apply: Too much balm can suffocate your tattoo and slow healing. A thin, even layer is all you need.
- XL size advantage: The 50ml pot lasts through multiple large tattoos or 3+ months of daily use on a single piece.
- No picking or scratching: When your tattoo starts to peel and itch, apply more balm instead of scratching. This protects the ink.
- Avoid sun exposure: Keep your healing tattoo out of direct sunlight. Once healed, always use SPF to prevent fading.
- Skip the gym: Avoid heavy sweating for the first week—sweat can irritate fresh ink and introduce bacteria.
- Shea Butter: Deep moisturisation that keeps skin supple without clogging pores.
- Coconut Oil: Natural antibacterial properties to protect against infection.
- Vitamin E: Promotes skin repair and helps prevent scarring.
- Beeswax: Creates a breathable protective barrier while locking in moisture.
- Chamomile Extract: Soothes irritation and reduces redness during healing.
- Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. Petroleum-free. Dermatologist tested.
- Large tattoos: Back pieces, full sleeves, and thigh work require more product—the 50ml pot has you covered.
- Multiple tattoos: Regular collectors can use one pot across several pieces without running out mid-heal.
- Better value: Cost per ml is significantly lower than buying multiple smaller pots.
- Long shelf life: Sealed formula stays fresh for 12+ months, so you're always ready for your next piece.
- Share with friends: Enough product to help out a mate who forgot their aftercare.
- Free UK shipping on all orders over £50.
- Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri).
- International shipping available to US, EU, and worldwide.
- 100% money-back guarantee — not seeing the results you want? Full refund, no questions asked.
