Keeper of the Ink® Tattoo Aftercare

Keeper of the Ink may be gently applied up to four times daily, after the tattoo bandage has been removed. It soaks in quickly and immediately starts to heal the skin, helping to keep your tattoo vibrant. We use it on every day cuts and scrapes as well. In keeping with sanitary practices, you should know that this product is not to be shared. Please contact us if your clients are in need of information on tattoo aftercare; however we prefer advice regarding tattoo care comes directly from your professional artist.
