Complete guide: Biotat Numbing Tattoo Butter 500g
Biotat Numbing Tattoo Butter 500g is the natural numbing butter from Biotat, in the large format designed for studios and high-volume artists. It contains shea butter, glycerin, clove oil (syzygium aromaticum), lavender, and aloe vera, and the natural eugenol from cloves is what numbs the area and soothes the client's discomfort — without lidocaine or synthetic substances. Being the same generous container used directly in the studio, it's the natural choice for artists who already know the product and want a better cost per gram than the 100g jar.
How to use
- Prepare the client's skin with a suitable cleansing product (for example, a cleaning soap used before tattooing) and dry the area.
- Never insert fingers or tools directly into the 500g jar — use a clean, sterilized spatula.
- Transfer the required amount with the spatula into a single-use disposable cup, separate for each client.
- Apply a layer of butter on the area to be tattooed, according to the session's needs.
- Let the product act on the skin, then continue the studio's usual work protocol.
- It can be reapplied in moderation during the session if needed.
- It can also be used as aftercare, applied in moderation as well.
- Close the lid tightly immediately after each use and store the container in a clean place, away from the active work area.
Tips from us
- Use only a sterilized spatula and a single-use disposable cup per client — never put fingers or tools directly into the large container to avoid contaminating the entire jar.
- If you haven't used Biotat before, first test the small 100g format; the consistency and smell are subjective, and the 500g format is recommended once you know the product suits you.
- Store the jar at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly closed between uses.
- In a busy studio, keep a spare container on hand so you don't run out of product in the middle of a busy day.
- The formula is fragrance-free, making it suitable for clients with sensitive skin as well.
- It integrates naturally into the studio protocol alongside a cleaning soap (Green Soap) and a Tattoo Glide gel.
Warning: Although it does not contain lidocaine and is formulated with natural ingredients, the product contains clove essential oil (eugenol) — if a client has known allergies to essential oils or any of the ingredients, discuss before application. Follow work hygiene: always use a sterilized spatula and individual portion per client, do not recontaminate the large jar, and keep the container away from the active work area. The product does not replace medical advice and does not guarantee complete pain elimination — the numbing effect varies from person to person.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I save with the 500g format compared to the 100g one?▾
The cost per gram is generally about 25-35% lower with the 500g format compared to the 100g jar. A 500g container covers approximately 70-100 tattoo sessions, so for a studio with consistent consumption, the difference is noticeable over the course of a year.
Is the 500g formula identical to the 100g one?▾
Yes, the formula is 100% identical — the same blend of shea butter, glycerin, clove oil, lavender, and aloe vera, the same concentration of natural eugenol. Only the quantity in the container and the price per unit differ.
How do I avoid cross-contamination when working from the large container?▾
Never insert fingers or tools directly into the 500g jar. Use a clean, sterilized spatula to transfer the required amount into a single-use disposable cup for each client, then immediately close the lid and keep the container away from the active work area.
How long does a 500g jar last in a busy studio?▾
In a studio with 3-5 artists working daily, a 500g jar can last between 3 and 6 weeks. For a solo artist with a full schedule, it can last 2-3 months. The time varies depending on the size of the tattoos and the frequency of reapplication.
Should I test the small format first before ordering 500g?▾
If you haven't used Biotat before, yes — we recommend the 100g format for testing, because skin reaction, smell, and consistency are subjective. If you already have experience with Biotat products or it was recommended by a colleague, you can order the 500g format directly.
What is the shelf life of the product?▾
The shelf life is approximately 24 months from manufacture. After opening, the product maintains its effectiveness for 12 months if stored correctly — at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly closed.

Frequently Asked Questions How much do I save with the 500g format vs 100g? 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. Is the formula identical to the 100g version? 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. How do I prevent cross-contamination when using the large container? 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. How quickly is it consumed in a busy studio? 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. Can I order the 500g format for the first time without testing first? 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. What is the shelf life of 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. Is a format larger than 500g available? 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. How does it compare to Hustle Butter Deluxe or other tattoo butters? 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. Can I use Tattoo Butter for PMU procedures? 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. Does the butter melt or change consistency in warm conditions? 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.
