Frequently asked questions
What's in the Tattoo Care Kit?
Five products covering both healing and long-term care: Aftercare Cream (60ml, for fresh tattoos), Exfoliating Body Wash (200ml), Daily Tattoo Moisturiser (200ml), Vibrancy Serum (60ml) and Highlighting Body Oil (100ml). The only S&I product not in this kit is the Aftercare Foam Cleanser.
Who is the Tattoo Care Kit for?
Three customer types: someone getting a new tattoo who wants both the healing kit and the full maintenance routine ready from day one; someone with a heavily tattooed body who burns through maintenance products and occasionally adds new work; a gift buyer who wants something more complete than the Essentials Set.
Is everything in the kit fragrance free?
No. The Aftercare Cream is fragrance free and built for fresh, compromised skin. The other four products (Body Wash, Daily Moisturiser, Vibrancy Serum, Body Oil) are lightly fragranced and for healed skin only. The kit splits cleanly into one heal-side product and four maintenance products.
How do I use it across the healing phase and into maintenance?
Weeks 1 to 3 (fresh tattoo): use the Aftercare Cream 2 to 3 times a day on the tattooed area, on clean skin. Don't use the maintenance products on a healing tattoo.
Week 4 onwards (healed): start the maintenance routine. AM: Exfoliating Body Wash 1 to 3 times a week, Daily Moisturiser daily, Highlighting Body Oil to finish. PM: Vibrancy Serum overnight.
Why isn't the Aftercare Foam Cleanser in the kit?
Why isn't the Aftercare Foam Cleanser in the kit? The Foam Cleanser is a dedicated soap-free, sulfate-free wash for fresh tattoos. It's an excellent addition during the healing window but not strictly required if you already have a very gentle cleanser. If you want the full healing routine, you can buy the Foam Cleanser separately, or go up to the Collectors Kit which includes both heal-side products.
What are the key ingredients across the kit?
The Aftercare Cream is anti-inflammatory-led: Bisabolol (chamomile-derived), Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Cardiospermum Halicacabum (sometimes called natural cortisone). The maintenance side runs on a thread of Bulbine Frutescens Leaf Juice (across the Body Wash, Daily Moisturiser and Vibrancy Serum) for hydration and barrier support. Anti-fade comes from two forms of Vitamin C: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate in the serum and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate in the oil, plus Liftonin Xpert (Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil and Palmaria Palmata Extract).
How is this different from the Essentials Set and the Collectors Kit?
Essentials Set is maintenance only (4 products). Care Kit adds the Aftercare Cream so you're covered for new tattoos as well (5 products). Collectors Kit goes one further with the Aftercare Foam Cleanser, the full range (6 products). Care Kit is the right pick if you want everything except a dedicated fresh-tattoo cleanser.
How long will the kit last?
The Aftercare Cream covers one full healing cycle for a medium tattoo. The four maintenance products last roughly 8 to 12 weeks of daily use for a moderately tattooed person.
Is everything in this kit suitable for sensitive skin?
The aftercare product is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. The maintenance products are fragranced. If you have fragrance sensitivity, patch test the maintenance products on a small area before full use.
