Tattoo Butter has a thicker, creamier consistency creating a more substantial protective barrier on skin, ideal for fills and large areas. Tattoo Glide has a more fluid consistency offering superior slip for linework and detailed work. Both contain natural eugenol with anaesthetic effect. Many artists use Glide for lines and Butter for filling in the same session.

The no added fragrance formula significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions and irritation for clients with sensitive skin. Synthetic fragrances are one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis and can interfere with the healing process. Biotat Tattoo Butter has a subtle natural clove scent from eugenol, which is pleasant and well tolerated without requiring added fragrance.

Tattoo Butter can be applied as a protective layer immediately after completing the tattoo, providing initial protection and a soothing effect. For long-term care in the following days, a dedicated aftercare product is recommended. The antibacterial effect of eugenol provides additional protection in the first hours after the session when the tattooed area is most vulnerable.

Yes, Biotat Tattoo Butter is superior to petroleum-based jelly in several aspects. It does not clog pores, does not trap bacteria, and does not interfere with the healing process. Additionally, it contains eugenol with anaesthetic and antibacterial effects, properties that petroleum jelly lacks. Many professional artists have switched from petroleum jelly to specialised products like Biotat for superior results.

Apply a thin, even layer to the work area after cleaning with Green Soap. Reapply throughout the session after each intermediate cleaning. Use a clean spatula to transfer product from the container into an individual cup for each client. Do not apply directly from the main jar to prevent contamination. A thin layer is sufficient — do not over-apply.

A 100g container can cover approximately 15-25 tattoo sessions depending on tattoo size and reapplication frequency. For high-volume artists, the 500g format is recommended as it offers a more advantageous cost per gram. The 100g format is ideal as a starter product or for travel to tattoo conventions.

No, Biotat Tattoo Butter is formulated not to interfere with ink penetration into the skin. The formula contains no ingredients that would block pigment absorption. The protective barrier acts on the skin surface, reducing irritation and friction without affecting the ink implantation process in the dermis. Many artists report even superior work quality due to skin protection.

Yes, Biotat Tattoo Butter is safe for use on large body areas such as the back, chest, or full leg. The lidocaine-free formula eliminates the risk of systemic toxicity associated with applying synthetic anaesthetics on large skin surfaces. Natural eugenol is safe for application on extended areas, and its antibacterial properties provide protection across the entire work surface.

Biotat Tattoo Butter is manufactured in the UK to ISO9001 (quality management) and ISO22716 (cosmetic good manufacturing practices) standards.

Yes, Tattoo Butter is particularly effective for dense fill styles — blackwork, black and grey, neo-traditional, and colour packing. The thick consistency provides excellent protection during the multiple aggressive passes required for full colour saturation. The protective barrier prevents excessive irritation and keeps the skin hydrated throughout intensive fill sessions.
