the fresh tattoo recovery bundle
Two products for the recover stage: cool and comfort first, then seal in moisture.
Soothing Cream is for the first days after a session, when skin feels hot, tight and stressed. Apply a thin layer 2–3 times a day, starting after the first gentle wash. As the surface settles and starts to flake or itch, switch to the hands-free Tattoo Balm to soften skin and lock in moisture. No petroleum, no added fragrance.
Two steps for the weeks after a session: cool and comfort first, then seal in moisture.

don't use it when
- On skin that hasn't been washed. Start after the first gentle wash, on clean, dry skin.
- In thick layers. A thin layer keeps skin moist, not wet.
- On skin with spreading redness, pus, worsening pain or a fever. Contact a medical professional.
- If you're sensitive to clove or allergic to honey. Patch test first.
faqs
When do I switch from cream to balm?
When the surface settles and starts to flake or itch, usually a few days in. You can keep the cream for hot, tight moments.
Why a stick?
You can apply the balm without touching the tattoo or putting fingers in a jar.
What comes after?
Once it's healed (closed skin, no flaking, usually 2–3 weeks), move to Hydrating Oil.
