The 500g format offers significant savings per gram compared to the 100g container. Generally, the cost per gram is approximately 25-35% lower in the large format. For a studio consuming a 100g jar every 2-3 weeks, switching to the 500g format can generate substantial savings over a year of use.

Yes, the formula is 100% identical. Same ingredient blend, same concentration of natural eugenol, same anaesthetic and antibacterial properties. The only thing that differs is the product quantity and unit price. Quality, consistency, and efficacy are guaranteed identical batch to batch, regardless of the container size chosen.

Never insert fingers or work tools directly into the 500g container. Always use a clean, sterilised spatula to transfer the needed amount into a disposable individual cup for each client. Close the lid immediately after use and store the container in a clean location away from the active work area.

In a studio with 3-5 active artists tattooing daily, a 500g container can last between 3-6 weeks. For a solo artist with a full schedule, it can last 2-3 months. These estimates vary depending on tattoo size, reapplication frequency, and work style. We recommend keeping a backup container to avoid interruptions.

We recommend new artists start with the 100g format to ensure the product suits them before investing in the larger format. Differences in consistency, scent, and skin behaviour are subjective, and testing with a smaller quantity prevents waste. If you already have experience with Biotat products or if a colleague has recommended the product, you can directly order the 500g format.

The shelf life is approximately 24 months from the manufacturing date, identical to the 100g format. After opening, the product maintains its efficacy for 12 months when properly stored — at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly closed. Due to higher consumption in professional studios, the 500g format is usually consumed well before expiration.

Biotat offers Sumo 2kg formats in their international range for studios with exceptional workload. Availability of the Sumo format may vary depending on the distributor. Check with your local supplier if the 2kg format is available. For most professional studios, the 500g format offers the optimal balance between economy and product freshness.

Biotat Tattoo Butter differentiates itself through its natural eugenol content with anaesthetic effect, a property that most competing tattoo butters do not offer. UK manufacturing under ISO9001/ISO22716 standards and CPNP registration guarantee a quality and compliance level that not all competitors can demonstrate. The lidocaine-free formula is an additional advantage for long-term safety.

Standard Tattoo Butter can be used for PMU procedures, but Biotat offers a specially formulated PMU Butter with a finer consistency optimised for delicate facial areas. For professional PMU procedures on eyebrows, lips, or eyeliner, we recommend the dedicated PMU Butter. Standard Tattoo Butter remains a viable option for artists who work on both tattoos and PMU.

Biotat Tattoo Butter is formulated to maintain its consistency under normal studio conditions (18-25°C). At very high temperatures (above 30°C), consistency may soften slightly but returns to normal after cooling. Avoid storage near heat sources, radiators, or in direct sunlight. For summer conventions, keep the product in shade and in a cool location.
