INK Shield (2oz Tin)
INK Shield is a premium tattoo after care product designed to be used on brand new and existing tattoos to help promote natural healing and skin health without the chemicals that you will find in other products.
Our INK Shield is product made using VitalaSEA's Proprietary Blend of Oils and our combination of ingredients that make INK Shield the industry leading aftercare product.
What does it do for new tattoos exactly? When applied, it promotes natural healing of your tattoo. It moisturizes and hydrates while the oils penetrate skin to help eliminate bacterial, heal the drying skin, reduce itchiness, and improve appearance and color retention.
HOW TO USE: For new tattoos, use a clean spoon (sold separately) to scrape a small amount of INK Shield out of the tin and onto your (clean) hand. (Do NOT put your fingers in the tin, this can spread bacteria). Apply a thin layer over a healing tattoo to create a nearly impenetrable barrier to your INK. Apply 1-2 times daily for 10-14 days.
For existing tattoos, this is a fantastic balm. Use as needed to moisturize, hydrate, and protect.
We aren't hear to disparage other products, but the industry leading choices for tattoo after care come filled with ingredients that have been used for a long time, but we are just now finding out that they might not be great for you tattoos. In fact, they may damage and even pull ink out of your new masterpiece. A common staple in the tattoo world is Aquaphor, but research shows that many people do not use it correctly and it leads to clogged pores and can inhibit healing.
According to Google AI, There's some speculation that petrolatum-based products might be harmful to new tattoos. They won't cause complications with the healing process, but they can impact the appearance of tattoos. In some cases, petrolatum and mineral oil may bind with the ink in a fresh tattoo, pulling a little bit of it out."
There are many choices for after care and they are all filled with ingredients you should NEVER put on your body. With one exception, VitalaSEA. It's why it's the clear choice for aftercare and highly recommended by industry professionals.
