Professional Tattoo Aftercare Cream/Balm 100ml | Developed & Manufactured by Nourish Ink | Made in the United Kingdom | For Direct Use on Fresh Tattoos & Continual Aftercare

I bought this after running out of the cream I normally use for my tattoos (not a dedicated tattoo lotion, a normal moisturiser for sensitive skin that I’ve had great success with). I wanted to try out a cream made for tattoos specifically, but I have incredibly sensitive skin so I tend to stick to what I know helps soothe my skin without irritation and agonise over any new product because irritating my skin tends to mean steroid creams will be needed. Despite my skin I still have tattoos, in fact my latest is number 29, I tend to take a bit longer to heal and I have a severe life threatening allergy to penicillin so avoiding infection in ky tattoos is of paramount importance. I use Drapolene cream for the first few days as it’s antiseptic but gentle and is a barrier cream, I’ve had no problems with using this so far. Then I decided to buy this lotion for the next healing stage, to keep the tattoo moisturised. Wow oh wow, I will never use anything other than this ever again!! My tattoos tend to get very itchy due to my sensitive skin, but this cream is soothing enough that the itch is dull enough to ignore, I image with people with normal skin it should get rid of itching entirely. It smells deliciously of orange peel and a little goes a long way, it soaks into the skin well and leaves a slight greasiness on the surface, ideal for a fresh tattoo. If using to revive old tattoos use a minute amount so that it all soaks in, leaving no greasiness (I’m also testing on my hand tattoo which tends to get dull when my skin gets dry) and the colour does look brighter. Overall I would recommend this to anyone getting a new tattoo, whether you’re new to tattoos or are already covered head to toe! I would suggest using something else like Tattoo Goo (in the tin) for the first few days as I don’t think this cream is sufficient for that stage, but for after that initial healing it’s spot on

Really good stuff... More expensive... Usually I use bepanthem... Tried this... Love it.... Seems to soak in very quick... Bepanthem stays on the skin for hours but can feel uncomfortable all that moisture in certain tattoo areas.... This one is different.... After a little while it looks like its not moisturised at all... Looks as if you need to put more cream on but when you feel the skin you can feel that it's deeply moisturised so don't need to put more... Works great for me... Hard to say if it's better than bepanthem etc... But personally I like not having that heavy sticky feeling of bepanthem

I absolutely love this cream, used it on my fresh arm tattoo and it's been nothing but nourishing and moisturizing throughout the healing process. it smells amazing and applies super well, the only reason I'm not giving this 5 star's is because the pump on the bottle gets stuck/blocked quite often, and it becomes very hard to get the cream out unless you use a large amount of force on the top, but apart from that it's perfect!

I had run out of my other aftercare and was using a diffrent balm which wasn't helping my tattoo shed and heal... So I got some of this... This after care... Well what can I say! Its fab! The moment I used it first the smell hit me, it smelt so fresh lovely and clean, as soon and put some on my tattoo it started shedding... Normally I shed within the week, but the other stuff I was using wouldn't budge my scabs...this moistened and loosened the scabs that really needed to come off... My tattoo smelt lovely and from the first application it was smoother and supple and really felt like I was feeding my skin and my new ink really well... I have quite alot of ink and this is probaly the best I have used to date... I will be buying more and recommending it at my studio!

The cream in my opinion is much better than the known alternative bepenthen. Leaves your skin smooth bit not sticky like others do! My tatoo has healed really well. Only disappointment with this was the dispenser it comes in, around half full and only pumping out air... frustrating. I've got a refund but in the mean timey but no cream!

This product smells clean and lemony, it's smooth and stops any horrible itching and by using it you don't get the horrible scabs and your tattoo heals in no time, a great product well worth the money if you truly want to look after your tattoo spend a little more especially when you have spend alot on your tattoo to begin with❤️

Following a discussion with people in the tattoo industry I was advised to stop using a well know nappy rash cream as the ingredients had changed and was now dulling fresh ink. So after much looking I settled on this product due to the amount of good reviews it had. I will never use another tattoo product again. It soothed my new tattoo from the first application, it wasn’t greasy and allowed the skin to breath. It aided and sped up the healing process, with no scabbing. After 7 days my new tattoo was healed using nourish ink, where as it would usually take the best part of 14 days. Can’t recommend this enough.

I thought I'd try something else other than my usual cream as it was slightly cheaper. I've used it a few times and I'm not happy with the way the cream comes out of the dispenser. It seems to squirt out a ton of cream in one go (more than I need) and means I've got through lots of it quickly. It's expensive stuff so that's not great. Maybe a dodgy one-off dispenser? I'm downgrading this to one star now. The cream is all gone after just a few days. Late delivery and gone really fast. Not happy :(
