Tattoo Balm 1.7 oz | 50 ml

Tsunami Balm Tattoo Balm is a rich balm for tattooed skin. Shea butter, cocoa butter and calendula oil give lasting moisture and keep color looking bold. The balm melts into skin and absorbs, and a little goes a long way. Use it on new ink once aftercare starts, and on older pieces that need daily moisture.

When to use it

Start in the first weeks, once your artist says it is time for aftercare. Then keep it in your routine every day to keep tattooed skin moisturized and colors bold. Use it on older tattoos too, whenever the skin feels dry.

How to use it

• Start with clean, dry skin.
• Take a small amount with clean fingertips.
• Warm it between your fingers.

FAQ

What is a tattoo balm?

A tattoo balm is a water-free moisturizer made of butters, oils and wax. It melts into the skin as you massage it in, so a small amount covers a lot. Use it once your artist says aftercare can start, and on older tattoos whenever the skin feels dry.

Is tattoo balm better than lotion?

Neither is better in every case. Balm gives rich moisture from a small amount, which suits smaller pieces and dry spots. Lotion spreads faster over large areas like sleeves and backs. Read tattoo balm vs lotion to choose.

How much balm should I use?

A small amount. A little goes a long way, so start with a thin layer and add more only if your skin still feels dry.

Can I use it on a new tattoo?

Follow your artist's aftercare instructions first. When your artist says it is time for aftercare, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin every day.

How is it different from the Soothing Gel?

The balm is rich, with shea butter and cocoa butter. The Soothing Gel is a light, cooling aloe gel. Our aftercare guide pairs both in the first weeks.

Is the balm in the Tattoo Care Set?

Yes. The set includes the Tattoo Balm, Soothing Gel, Numbing Gel, SPF 50 Sunscreen and Body Lotion in one magnetic gift box.
