What your skin does with ink
A fresh tattoo and a five-year-old tattoo are the same art on very different skin. Four stages, four different jobs — here's the short version.
01 Prep — before the needle
Skin that's clean, calm and conditioned takes ink more evenly. The Prep Cream is made for the hours before your session, not the days after.
02 Create — not all black ink is the same
The Original Black is vegetable carbon, not synthetic carbon pigment. What goes in on day one is part of how it reads years later.
03 Recover — the days right after
The Soothing Cream is built for the short window when skin is working hardest: light, breathable, and made to keep that stage comfortable.
04 Nourish — every day after that
Most lotions are mostly water, and water leaves. The Hydrating Oil is a botanical oil — it absorbs and conditions instead of evaporating. Lightweight, non-greasy, built for the long stretch.
Why four products, not one
Skin about to be tattooed, skin recovering from it, and skin carrying settled ink for a decade are three different conditions. We don't think one formula honestly covers all three, so we didn't make one.
