Keep your ink as vivid as the day you got it
Fresh color fades fast without the right care. This gentle balm calms irritation and helps protect your tattoo's color while skin heals.
Built for ink, not just skin

Formulated for color, not just skin
Targets the fading and dullness generic moisturizers were never designed to address. Helps tattoo pigment hold its saturation through the healing phase and beyond.

Gentle enough for healing skin
Formulated to be gentle on freshly tattooed, sensitive skin during the peeling and healing phase. No burning or stinging, just a light cooling layer that calms irritation.

A tin small enough to never forget
Compact 15g aluminum tin makes daily aftercare easy to keep in a bag, desk drawer, or bathroom shelf. One less reason to skip the routine.
Three steps, twice a day
- 1Clean the skin
Wash the tattooed area gently with a mild, fragrance-free soap and pat it dry with a clean towel. Never rub.
- 2Take a small amount
Scoop a pea-sized amount from the tin. More cream does not mean faster healing; a thin layer is enough.
- 3Massage it in lightly
Apply over the tattoo with clean fingertips and let it absorb fully. Avoid thick globs that can trap moisture unevenly.
From studio bandage to settled color
- 1The itch that worries you
You check the mirror daily. Skin flakes, itches, and the vibrant color you paid for starts looking patchy. You are not sure if this is normal healing or permanent fading.
- 2What generic lotion misses
Plain moisturizer softens the surface, but it was never made for healing ink. It does nothing to address color retention or the delicate broken-skin state underneath the peeling layer.
- 3Aftercare made for ink
This balm is purpose-built for both fresh and aging tattoos. A thin layer calms the itch and supports the skin's natural healing response while the color underneath settles cleanly.
- 4Color that stays yours
Calm skin, saturated color, no regret. Weeks later the tattoo still looks freshly done, and the daily mirror check becomes a moment of satisfaction instead of worry.
Your tattoo's healing timeline
- Day 1-3Fresh ink, gentle care begins
Skin may feel tight or tender; a thin layer helps keep the area comfortable without clogging the healing surface.
- Week 1-2Peeling and flaking phase
As skin naturally peels, continued gentle moisturizing helps reduce itching and supports even healing underneath.
- Week 3-4Color settling in
Skin texture normalizes and the tattoo's true color becomes visible as the healing process completes.
- OngoingLong-term color maintenance
Regular use as part of a skincare routine helps keep older tattoos looking cared-for rather than dulled by dry skin.

Questions and answers
Yes. The formula is designed for freshly tattooed skin during the peeling and healing phase. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and avoid thick globs that trap moisture.
It is formulated to be gentle. No burning or stinging is expected, but if you have a known allergy to any topical cream, test a small patch on unbroken skin first or ask your tattoo artist.
Both. For fresh ink it supports clean healing. For older tattoos, regular use keeps skin hydrated so the color reads more vivid. It will not reverse significant sun damage.
With a pea-sized amount used twice daily on a typical tattoo, one tin can cover most of the initial healing window. Larger pieces or multiple tattoos will use it faster. The compact size makes reordering simple when the routine works.
The scent is understated and the formula is made for sensitive, broken skin. It is not a heavily fragranced product, which is exactly the point.
In most cases yes, but stop one and continue the other if you notice any irritation. Your artist knows your skin and the specific tattoo, so their guidance takes priority.
