Why switch
Less in the jar. More in your skin.
The best known tattoo butter runs 12 ingredients with a minty finish. We use half that, added jojoba and calendula, and made it smell like something you actually want on your skin.
The big name butter
The full list
Six ingredients. That's the whole jar.
No petroleum. No synthetic fragrance. No fillers to pad the label.
-
1
Shea Butter
Rich, slow melting moisture that softens skin and fights that tight, dry feeling while ink settles.
-
2
Coconut Oil
Glides on smooth and seals moisture in, so flaky patches stay calm.
-
3
Jojoba Oil
The closest match to your skin's own oils. Sinks in fast with no greasy film.
-
4
Calendula Infused Sunflower Oil
Calendula has soothed irritated skin for centuries. We steep it in light sunflower oil.
-
5
Sandalwood Essential Oil
Warm and woody. Settles into a subtle scent after a few minutes.
-
6
Vanilla Essential Oil
Soft and sweet. Rounds out the sandalwood so it never smells medicinal.
Vegan. Made in the USA. Use within 6 months of opening.
The scent
Smells like a good decision.
Most aftercare smells like a first aid kit. Ours smells like warm sandalwood and soft vanilla, from real essential oils. Subtle enough for the shop. Good enough you'll catch yourself sniffing your forearm.
How to use
A thin layer goes a long way.
-
1
Clean
Wash with lukewarm water and a gentle, unscented soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
-
2
Apply a thin layer
Warm a small amount between your fingers and massage in until it disappears. Thin beats thick.
-
3
Repeat 2 to 3 times a day
While healing, or whenever skin feels tight. Once healed, use daily to keep color bright.
Can I use it on a fresh tattoo?
Yes. It's made for fresh and healed tattoos. Follow your artist's aftercare instructions and start when they say it's time to moisturize.
Can artists use it during a session?
Yes. It works as a glide during sessions and as aftercare at home. One jar does both jobs.
