What is the size and what area of coverage do I get out of one tin?
Our No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Balm comes in a 30-gram (1oz) tin. Since a very thin, breathable layer is all that's needed for each application, a single tin can provide care for a full sleeve or multiple medium-to-large tattoos throughout their healing process, and will last for months of daily use on older ink.
Is No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Balm Suitable for Both New and Old Tattoos?
Absolutely. Our advanced formula is ideal for revitalizing existing body art, restoring vibrancy to previously healed tattoos, and providing everyday nourishment. Whether your tattoo is brand new or years old, consistent hydration and care will keep those colors radiant and your skin feeling smooth and healthy.
Can You Use Tattoo Balm as a Daily Moisturizer?
Yes. While No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Balm is expertly formulated for tattoo healing and care, it’s also a fantastic daily moisturizer for skin—whether you have ink or not. Its blend of nourishing, natural ingredients delivers deep hydration, making it ideal to soothe dry or sensitive skin anywhere on your body. It works WONDERS on elbows and ankle bones!
Is No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Balm Safe, Hypoallergenic, and Cruelty-Free?
Yes. Our balm is designed with your peace of mind in mind. Our formula is hypoallergenic, making it a gentle choice for even sensitive skin types. Plus, we're proud to say it’s completely cruelty-free and 100% vegan, so you can support your skin and your values at once. We thoughtfully source only naturally-derived ingredients and leave out common irritants.
Is No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Balm Petroleum-Free & Vegan?
Absolutely. Our modern balm is formulated without petroleum, using naturally-derived, plant-based ingredients that are gentle on freshly tattooed skin. These carefully chosen ingredients provide deep nourishment, making them a clean, ethical skincare choice during the tattoo healing process.
What Goes Into a Quality Tattoo Balm?
Most top-tier tattoo balms share a lineup of naturally soothing, nourishing components. Here’s what you’ll commonly find in our professional-grade aftercare balm:
- Shea Butter: Intensely moisturizing and well-loved for its skin-calming benefits.
- Jojoba Oil: Helps soften and condition.
- Macadamia Oil: For soothing hydration.
- Botanical Extracts: Like Calendula Flower Extract and Myrrh, which further calm and nourish irritated skin.
- Vitamin E: A skin-protecting antioxidant that helps minimize damage and supports healing.
How do I use this product for my tattoo?
After cleansing your healing tattoo with our Cleansing Foam and gently patting it dry, apply a very thin, even coat of Aftercare Balm. Do not overapply, as a thin layer is all that's needed. For a complete guide, please see our detailed How To Use page.
Why Use a Tattoo Balm During the Tattooing Process?
For tattoo artists, a specialized tattoo balm can make all the difference right from the moment the needle touches the skin. Our balm’s lightweight consistency allows needles to glide across the skin, ensuring steady, precise lines and color saturation. It also helps to prevent overworking the skin and keeps stencils intact, making the process smoother and more comfortable for both artist and client.
What Other Popular Tattoo Aftercare Essentials Do You Offer?
Caring for your tattoo doesn't stop at balm—we offer two other aftercare products that are frequently recommended to complement your healing routine:
- No Pain Tattoo Cleansing Foam: A mild antibacterial foam cleanser to gently clean tattooed skin without causing irritation.
- No Pain Tattoo Soothing Gel: A lightweight healing gel that provides additional moisture and protection for brand-new tattoos, helping lock in hydration and aid the skin’s natural regeneration.These products are also available together in our No Pain Tattoo Aftercare Bundle.
Where is No Pain Tattoo located?
No Pain Tattoo is proudly headquartered in the world-famous Historic Tattoo shop in Portland, Oregon. You can learn more about our story and unique location on our About Us page.
What is a spot/patch test?
A patch test is a simple way to check for a reaction before full use. Apply a small amount of the balm to an inconspicuous area of your skin (like the inner elbow) and let it sit for a few minutes. If you experience any redness, swelling, or rash, do not proceed with a full application.
