Real results

A little goes a long way!

The foaming wash cooled my skin and helped reduce the itching significantly. The cream took away all the itching and heat. I would definitely recommend without hesitation and use it again for my next tattoo.

Less itching and flaking

Used this on my last three tattoos: mix black & grey, and a full colour piece and they have healed so beautifully with far less itching and flaking than any of my previous ones. Magic stuff!

Made it so comfortable!

Healed my new tattoo like a dream. Had barely any itching while using the cream as it made it so comfortable during the healing process and really calmed the irritation down.

Helped me heal quickly

Really soothed my new tattoo and helped it heal quickly, and stopped the constant itching! Also made my older tattoos pop more and my skin generally feel softer and in better condition.

Keeps me itch-free all day

I love this cleanser and moisturiser. It’s so gentle on my new tattoo and skin generally as I have sensitive skin. Would def recommend if you have a new tattoo… and the moisturiser keeps me itch free all day 😍

So soothing!

I was most impressed by the aftercare cleanser. I've never used anything like it before. It made those first free days painless while keeping my new tattoo clean.

A must buy!!

Amazing products to heal tattoos. My tattoos have been healing so much better using the aftercare kit! Minimal itching and next to no scabbing or flaking! 10/10. It’s a must buy!!

I gambled off of reviews and I’m glad I did!

Used both the cleanser and cream for two new tattoos and they healed so quickly compared to other products I’ve used. Washed twice a day, morning and evening and applied the cream afterwards and topping up whenever it felt really crispy or dry.

Best healed tattoo I have had!

I don’t usually write reviews, but this stuff is amazing so felt I had to share that.
I’ve used the aftercare cream before & would give it 10/10 for how it applied, it healed my tattoo well & took that itch out almost completely. Just finished healing a leg tattoo using the cream & the foam wash, best healed tattoo I have had.

FAQs

FAQs

When can I start using the Aftercare Duo?

Our aftercare range is so gentle, it can be used straight after tattooing. Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, with no parabens and no gluten, it lets skin breathe while it mends.

How long will it take for my tattoo to heal?

Healing times vary between people. Factors that can influence how quickly your tattoo heals include the type of tattooing you’ve had done, the size of tattoo, and potentially its location e.g. if you get a tattoo on an area of constant rubbing like an ankle on a shoe, this may impact healing. A good aftercare routine is another important factor in ensuring your tattoo heals as quickly and healthily as it can.

How can I stop my tattoo itching?

It’s super important not to scratch new tattoos. Thankfully, both Aftercare Foam Cleanser and Aftercare Cream can help reduce itchiness. Powerful actives calm inflammation and redness, while specialist botanicals protect, nourish and soothe.

Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, our products are hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, including people with skin conditions such as dermatitis.

How long does delivery take?

Most orders are processed the same day that they are placed, but please allow for weekends/bank holidays as our warehouse will be closed during these periods. Generally orders make it to our customers in 3-5 working days.

Are your products suitable for vegans?

None of our ingredients are derived from or tested on lovely little animals.
