FAQ

You can use this product straight after getting a new tattoo. Typically, once you’ve washed your new tattoo for the first time, gently apply a small amount of Aftercare Cream to the area. You can then use this product once or twice daily to help heal your new tattoo.

Use a small amount spread thinly over your new tattoo. It's about finding the right balance: too much moisture can cause bubbling and moisture spotting, while too dry will result in itchy and irritable scabbing.

Our formula is packed with ingredients purposely chosen and expertly developed to soothe, calm and repair newly-tattooed skin. 100% natural and hypoallergenic, our Aftercare Cream has been specifically developed to help heal newly-tattooed skin.

To keep your tattoos hydrated, make sure you regularly use the Aftercare Cream while your tattoo heals. Long-term, things such as regularly moisturising, eating healthily, drinking plenty of water and avoiding exposure to the Sun will help promote skin and tattoo health.
