Complete guide: Balm Tattoo Vegan 30G
Balm Tattoo Vegan 30G is the aftercare balm for fresh tattoos, formulated 100% vegan — without lanolin, beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients. It contains Panthenol (5%), Sepitonic M3, Calendula, Shea butter and Aloe Vera, to hydrate the tattooed skin during the healing period. The compact 30g format is designed to be offered to the client at the end of the session, as the first step of home care. It suits both artists who want a cruelty-free option to offer clients, and tattooed individuals who prefer cosmetics without animal-derived ingredients.
How to use
- Wait 2-3 days after tattooing before the first application, as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
- Wash the tattooed area with lukewarm water and mild soap, without scrubbing.
- Dry the tattoo by gently patting with a clean towel or a disposable tissue.
- Take a small amount of balm on clean fingers.
- Apply a thin, even layer over the entire tattoo surface.
- Repeat application 3-4 times a day, as long as the skin remains sensitive.
- Continue the routine throughout the entire healing period (approximately 2-4 weeks, according to Balm Tattoo instructions).
- Avoid a thick layer — excess can occlude the skin instead of helping it recover.
Tips from us
- Wash your hands before each application to avoid introducing bacteria onto the freshly tattooed skin.
- A thin layer is enough — the balm absorbs quickly, it doesn't need large amounts.
- The 30g format typically covers the healing of a small to medium tattoo; for large pieces, consider a second container.
- It can also be used after complete healing, as a maintenance moisturizer for older tattoos.
- Being fragrance-free, it is also a suitable option for sensitive skin.
- Keep the container tightly closed between uses, away from heat and direct light.
Warning: Perform a sensitivity test on a small area of skin before using it extensively, especially if you have a history of skin allergies. Apply only to the skin around the fresh tattoo, not on open wounds or obviously infected skin — if severe redness, swelling, discharge or unusual pain occur, stop use and seek advice from a doctor or your tattoo artist. Avoid contact with eyes and do not share the container between multiple people to prevent contamination.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Balm Tattoo Vegan and Balm Tattoo Original?▾
The difference is the source of ingredients: the Vegan version completely excludes animal-derived ingredients (such as lanolin or beeswax) and replaces them with plant-based alternatives. It is the right choice if you or your client prefer a cruelty-free product; if you have no preference in this regard, both variants remain valid aftercare options.
How do I correctly apply Balm Tattoo Vegan on a fresh tattoo?▾
Clean the tattoo with water and mild soap, pat dry, then apply a thin layer of balm 3-4 times a day, starting from day 2-3 after tattooing. Continue the routine throughout the healing period, without over-applying.
Does Balm Tattoo Vegan contain fragrance or ingredients that can irritate the skin?▾
It does not contain added synthetic fragrances — the scent comes from the botanical ingredients in the formula. Even so, for sensitive skin, a sensitivity test is recommended before applying to the tattoo.
Is a 30g jar enough for healing a tattoo?▾
For a small or medium tattoo (e.g., on the forearm), 30g usually covers the entire healing period. For large tattoos or extensive pieces, an additional container may be needed.
Do I need to wash the tattoo before each application of the balm?▾
Yes — gently wash the area with water and mild soap, especially during the first cleaning of the day, and pat dry, not rub. Apply the balm only on clean, dry skin, with washed hands, to reduce the risk of introducing bacteria onto the fresh tattoo.
Can I use Balm Tattoo Vegan on older, already healed tattoos?▾
Yes, it can be used as a daily maintenance moisturizer even after complete healing, to keep the tattooed skin hydrated.
