As any tattoo artist will tell you, proper tattoo aftercare practices can have a big impact on the outcome of your new ink. A good regime will not only help your tattoos heal faster while minimising the risk of infection but, by following a clear set of aftercare instructions, you’ll help your fresh ink retain its colour, reduce fading, and maintain crisp lines for years to come. Your tattooist will be a good source of information on how best to care for your new ink, offering advice on how to look after your damaged skin until your tattoo is fully healed. Still, when it comes to healing new tattoos, there’s a few essentials to remember. You should gently wash your tattoo with clean water, pat your skin dry (not rub), avoid letting anyone touch your new tattoo, wear loose clothing to avoid irritation, regularly moisturise, and steer clear of direct sunlight.

To help your tattoo to heal, Stories & Ink has created a set of specialist tattoo aftercare products that make your care regime safe and easy. Designed to soothe and calm your tattooed area while providing protection, nourishment, and strength, our natural formulas will help you achieve beautiful, clean, healed tattoos. Unlike many regular moisturisers, our products have been specifically created for tattooed skin. We use specialist botanical ingredients, such as Coconut Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Raspberry Oil. Not only do these beauties nourish naturally, but our fragrance-free hypoallergenic formulas have no parabens or gluten, letting skin breathe while it mends. Plus, with our commitment to crafting 100% natural, vegan, and cruelty-free tattoo aftercare, you can rest assured our products are good for both our people and the planet.

Give your fresh ink the VIP treatment with Stories & Ink’s range of specialist tattoo aftercare essentials. Purposely designed to heal and enhance your skin’s health post-tattoo, our winning formulas will soothe, nourish, and protect, preserving the long-term appearance of new tattoos.
