## Description

This natural, clinically-approved aftercare cream soothes and repairs fresh tattoos, reducing inflammation and itching to protect your ink and promote faster healing.

Review: Lightweight, soothing and easy to use - an impressive alternative to heavier balms - Having used Sorry Mom’s tattoo balm for several years, I decided to try Stories & Ink’s Aftercare Cream and was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. It’s noticeably lighter and less greasy than many other tattoo balms, yet still provides excellent hydration and protection for freshly inked skin. Application is simple and consistent. The cream spreads easily, absorbs much quicker than other brands, and leaves only a light finish - enough to protect the tattoo without that thick, oily feel some products leave behind. It’s particularly effective on larger tattoos, as it covers well and washes off the hands easily afterwards, without the need for heavy scrubbing. In terms of healing, it performs superbly. It helped to keep the skin calm, reduced itching, and supported an even, smooth healing process without clogging pores or leaving residue on clothing. The light, natural formulation feels gentle and clean, making it suitable for daily use over extended healing periods. The packaging is stylish and practical. The matte tube looks great on a shelf, and it’s compact enough for travel or storage in a bathroom cabinet. The only small drawback is the screw-top design, which can occasionally misthread if you’re in a hurry. A snap-lid closure would make it even easier to use, particularly when applying the cream multiple times a day. Overall, this is a high-quality, well-priced aftercare product that feels carefully formulated for both comfort and effectiveness. It’s become my go-to choice for new tattoos, and a product I’d happily continue to use long term.
Review: Best lotion/ointment for a brand new tattoo! - All tattoo artists need to recommend this to their clients for a brand new fresh tattoo for the first week, seriously its amazing! When i got my sleeve i used Palmers coco butter and it was not good at all, way too thick. This time i used Stories and Ink and from day 1 my tattoo felt calm, less irritated, less sesitive, and healed quicker and better. Perfect consistency, quick and easy to apply, you really cant go wrong. Highly recommended for a new tattoo.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long after my tattoo is inked should I use the Aftercare Cream?**
A: Straight after getting a new tattoo. Once you’ve washed your tattoo for the first time, gently apply a small amount of Aftercare Cream to the area. Use 2-3x daily for the first 14 days and 1-2x daily for 28 days, even if it appears fully healed.

**Q: How much Aftercare Cream should I use?**
A: Use a small amount spread thinly over your new tattoo. It's about finding the right balance: too much moisture can cause bubbling and moisture spotting, while too dry will result in itchy and irritable scabbing.

**Q: What makes this Stories & Ink Tattoo Aftercare Cream better than using a regular moisturiser?**
A: It is specifically designed for tattoo healing, unlike regular moisturizers. It soothes irritation, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent infections, promoting faster healing while preserving the tattoo’s color and detail.

**Q: Is the Aftercare Cream suitable for sensitive skin?**
A: Yes, this product is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, including people with skin conditions such as dermatitis.

**Q: Is this product nut-free?**
A: Yes, it is free from tree nut oils. It contains coconut oil as well as Raspberry Black Currant Seed Oils. The production facility handles nut-derived ingredients but ensures no cross contamination via thorough cleaning procedures.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great products
*by N***E on 28 May 2024*

I got my first tattoo recently and felt very paranoid about the healing process. I wanted to make sure that I used something gentle and effective for healing my tattoo. I bought these as I saw a lot of good reviews online. And it did not disappoint. It helped my tattoo heal so nicely and I have plenty left over to use for my next tattoo. The wash is gentle and foams up really nicely, does not hurt to use on a fresh tattoo. The cream was perfect. Didn't have a strong smell and melted into the skin nicely. Did not leave a strange residue. The value for money was really good. As I still have plenty of product even after using it for 2 weeks multiple times per day. My tattoo is now pretty much healed and I partly attribute that to stories and ink. Definitely will look into more of their other products for sure.
