Complete guide: Biotat Numbing Tattoo Butter 100g
Biotat Numbing Tattoo Butter 100g is a tattoo butter with a natural soothing effect, designed to protect and lubricate the skin during the session. The formula is 100% natural — shea butter, glycerin, clove oil (syzygium aromaticum), aloe vera and lavender — without lidocaine, without added perfume or artificial colorants. It is made in the UK and is aimed at both artists with a moderate workload and those working at conventions, where a 100g jar is more practical than a larger format.
How to use
- Clean the work area before starting the tattoo (e.g. with an antibacterial soap dedicated to tattooing).
- With a clean spatula, take only the necessary amount from the main jar and place it in an individual disposable cup for each client — do not apply directly from the container.
- Spread a thin, even layer of butter on the area to be tattooed.
- Reapply during the session, after each intermediate cleaning of the skin.
- At the end, the product can be used sparingly as a protective layer immediately after completing the tattoo.
- Close the jar tightly after each use and store it away from heat and direct light to maintain its consistency.
Tips from us
- A thin layer is enough — excessive application does not increase the soothing effect, but can make needle work more difficult.
- Always transfer the product with a clean spatula into an individual cup; never reintroduce the spatula or instruments used on the skin back into the main jar.
- If you are working with a client about whose sensitivity to natural ingredients (clove, lavender, aloe vera) you know nothing, test first on a small area of skin.
- The 100g format is useful for testing or for trips to conventions; for high workload, a larger format reduces the cost per gram, if available.
- The product integrates into the Biotat protocol alongside a cleaning soap and a glide-type gel for linework, if you want a complete routine during the session.
Warning: Although it is 100% natural and without lidocaine, the product contains clove essential oil (source of eugenol) — essential oils can cause local reactions in some people, even without added synthetic fragrance, so a patch test is recommended for clients with sensitive skin or a history of allergies. Follow the usual hygiene rules for any product used in the studio: individual disposable cups, clean spatula for each transfer, washed hands or changed gloves between clients, the main jar never touched directly by the client's skin. The product acts as a barrier and soothes the area, does not replace a medically prescribed anesthetic and does not guarantee complete pain elimination — the perceived effect varies from person to person.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a 100g jar last?▾
According to the manufacturer's instructions, a 100g jar covers approximately 15-25 sessions, depending on the size of the tattoo and how often you reapply the product during work. For high workload, there is also a 500g format, with a more advantageous cost per gram.
Can it be used as aftercare for the tattoo?▾
It can be applied as a protective layer immediately after completing the tattoo, in moderation. For care in the following days, however, we recommend a dedicated aftercare product, designed specifically for healing tattooed skin during the recovery period.
Is it suitable for clients with sensitive skin?▾
The formula does not contain added perfume or artificial colorants, which reduces the risk of irritation caused by synthetic ingredients. However, it contains natural clove oil, which may cause a reaction in some people — a patch test before extensive application is a useful precaution.
How do I maintain hygiene when using the product on multiple clients?▾
Each time, take the necessary amount with a clean spatula and place it in an individual disposable cup for each client. Never put the spatula or other instruments used on the skin back into the main jar — this prevents cross-contamination between clients.
Does it interfere with ink penetration into the skin?▾
No, the formula is designed not to interfere with the tattooing process or ink deposition, primarily acting as a protective barrier and soothing the worked area.
What is the difference compared to a tattoo butter with a more fluid consistency, like a 'glide' type?▾
A butter with a thick and creamy consistency, like this one, creates a more substantial protective barrier and is more suitable for fillings and large areas. A 'glide' type product, with a more fluid texture, offers superior slip for linework and detailed work — many artists use both in the same session, depending on the stage.

Biotat Numbing Tattoo Butter 100g is the professional tattoo butter with natural anaesthetic effect, designed for skin protection and lubrication during tattoo sessions. The formula contains natural eugenol extracted from cloves — a plant-based anaesthetic and powerful antibacterial agent — that reduces client pain throughout the session without using lidocaine or other synthetic anaesthetics. Tattoo Butter has a thick, creamy consistency that creates an excellent protective barrier on the skin surface, preventing excessive irritation from repeated needle passes. Unlike petroleum-based jelly, Biotat Tattoo Butter does not clog pores and does not interfere with the skin's natural healing process. The formula with no added fragrance is suitable for clients with sensitive skin or those who react to synthetic ingredients. Manufactured in the United Kingdom under laboratory conditions to ISO9001 and ISO22716 standards, CPNP registered in the EU, 100% vegan and cruelty-free, chlorhexidine-free. The 100g format is ideal for testing, convention travel, or artists with moderate workload. Integrates seamlessly into the complete Biotat protocol alongside Green Soap and Tattoo Glide.
Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between Tattoo Butter and Tattoo Glide? 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. Why no added fragrance? 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. Can it be used as aftercare after tattooing? 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. Is it better than traditional petroleum jelly? 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. How to apply Tattoo Butter during the session? 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. How long does a 100g container last? 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. Does it interfere with ink penetration into the skin? 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. Is it safe for use on large body areas? 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. What safety certifications does the product have? Biotat Tattoo Butter is manufactured in the UK to ISO9001 (quality management) and ISO22716 (cosmetic good manufacturing practices) standards. It is CPNP registered in the European Union, certified vegan and cruelty-free. It contains no chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or other synthetic chemicals. These certifications guarantee the highest level of safety and quality. Does it work for dense fill tattoo styles? 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.
