Banger Tattoo Care

Tattoo balm or lotion? Not all moisturizers are created equal. Learn why balms are becoming the industry standard for tattoo aftercare and why lotion isn’t always the best choice.

The tattoo is perfect. The session is over. But your work isn't done. The final five minutes of the client experience—the aftercare instructions—are what protect your portfolio after it walks out the door.

Providing a professional, all-in-one aftercare kit doesn't just ensure a better heal; it elevates your service, builds client loyalty, and solidifies your shop's reputation as the gold standard.
