We're putting together a tattoo aftercare kit – what are the essentials?

Navigation

    A tattoo artist's class is evidenced not only by their level of technical skill but also by their attention to hygiene and client comfort. Every professional tattoo artist should provide their client with basic tattoo aftercare instructions. This affects both the durability of the design and the preservation of color intensity. At Ars Tattoo, you'll find everything you need to assemble a tattoo aftercare kit – whether for your own needs or to equip your studio. Check out which products are definitely worth investing in.

    Proper tattoo aftercare is essential

    Getting a tattoo is an invasive procedure, which is often forgotten. Even with exceptional caution and steady movements, the client will always experience some discomfort, which simply results from the disruption of the skin's structure.

    Therefore, skin after a tattooing procedure requires special care. Without it, the healing process will be prolonged, more scabs will appear, and even pattern distortion or color loss can occur – these are not such rare cases.

    Important!

    Lack of proper skin care after a tattooing procedure can even lead to infection.

    The basis of fresh tattoo aftercare is:

    • Moisturizing – well-hydrated skin regenerates faster and is not as severely irritated, which improves the tattoo owner's comfort.
    • Protection against external factors – it is especially important to protect a fresh tattoo from UV radiation, which not only irritates the skin but can also lead to color fading.
    • Regeneration – meaning creating conditions for the skin to quickly rebuild and soothe irritation.

    At Ars Tattoo, products are available that will help you assemble a tattoo aftercare kit guaranteeing comprehensive care for the skin's needs after a tattooing procedure.

    What should a tattoo aftercare kit contain?

    A professionaltattoo aftercare kit should include only branded products that address the needs of irritated and damaged skin, accelerate its regeneration, and guarantee the highest level of protection and safety.

    Here is an example kit that you can assemble based on products available at Ars Tattoo:

    Tattoo creams and butters

    Products such asEasy Tattoo andTattoo Eazer effectively moisturize the skin and prevent color loss. For those who appreciate a light consistency and pleasant scent, butters likeHustle Butter orLoveInk Tattoo Butter will be an excellent choice, as they also support skin regeneration.

    Skin cleansing agents

    Cleansing is a key step in fresh tattoo aftercare. At Ars Tattoo, you'll find, among other things: cleansing foams, such asTattoo Eazer Foam, which gently remove impurities, healing liquids, e.g.,Tattoo Eazer Finish, reducing the risk of infection, orGreen Soap concentrate, ideal for skin disinfection.

    Protective dressings

    Foil dressings, known as "second skin," e.g.,Tattoo Eazer Protective Film, are an indispensable element of fresh tattoo aftercare. They protect against bacteria while supporting the regeneration process.

    Cosmetics with UV filter

    Sunlight is the number one enemy of tattoos. To prevent fading and dry skin, it's worth using sunscreens such asEasy Tattoo SPF 50+ orLoveInk Tattoo Sunscreen, which provide high UV protection.

    Tattoo anesthetics

    For those who fear pain, anesthetic preparations, e.g.,Tattoo Eazer Soothe Jelly, which increase the comfort of the tattooed person, will be an ideal solution. This is essential equipment for a professional tattoo studio.

    Remember:

    If you run a studio, make sure to stock up on professional tattoo aftercare cosmetics. This is to ensure maximum comfort for clients and demonstrate your professionalism, which will contribute to building your studio's reputation.
