Tattoo Aftercare (tap to read more)
For tattoo aftercare, apply a thin layer of Ink Nurse to clean, dry skin 2–3 times daily during the healing process. Start using it after your initial film wrap is removed, if you're using that type of product, otherwise - allow the fresh tattoo to settle for a day or so. It always depends on how big or how intense a tattoo is, but usually after 24hrs and continue until the tattoo is fully healed.
Ink Nurse is designed to condition the skin, support the natural barrier and help maintain a clean, smooth environment for fresh ink. Its non-greasy, fast-absorbing blend helps reduce the feeling of dryness and tightness while keeping pores clear.
Stressed or Reactive Skin
Ink Nurse can be used on areas of dry, delicate or easily irritated skin to provide soothing hydration and daily comfort. After cleansing, apply a thin layer 2–3 times a day as needed.
Our gentle, botanical formula helps ease feelings of dryness, tightness and general discomfort while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Free from steroids, petrochemicals and heavy occlusives, Ink Nurse is suitable for sensitive skin that needs calm, consistent nourishment.
Many customers use Ink Nurse in ways that suit their own unique skin needs. If you’d like to explore their reviews and personal experiences, you can read more here:

Wound Care + Protection
Ink Nurse is formulated to help keep freshly tattooed or sensitive skin feeling protected, hydrated and supported. When applied to clean, dry skin, it creates a lightweight, breathable layer that locks in moisture and helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
Its plant-powered blend helps ease feelings of irritation and dryness while promoting overall skin comfort during the post-tattoo period, without heavy waxes, petroleum or harsh additives. Ideal for anyone needing gentle, consistent care for delicate or stressed skin.
Botanical Science + Innovation
Ink Nurse blends modern cosmetic formulation with the benefits of carefully selected botanicals known for their skin-conditioning and soothing properties. Ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, jojoba and rosehip oil are chosen to help keep skin feeling calm, nourished and well-hydrated.
Our focus is on long-lasting moisture, barrier support and overall skin comfort, ideal for tattoo aftercare and for skin that needs a little extra daily care. Ink Nurse continues to innovate and evolve with clean ingredients, next-generation botanical extracts and a research-driven approach to cosmetic formulation.
