Complete guide: Biotat Numbing Tattoo Glide 500g
Biotat Numbing Tattoo Glide 500g is a natural tattoo lubricant designed for high-volume studios. The formula is 100% natural and completely lidocaine-free, with clove oil, honey, and lavender, and is identical to the 100g version — only the quantity differs. The fluid consistency maintains line and stencil visibility and provides good needle glide on the skin. According to the manufacturer, the 500g container covers approximately 100-170 sessions, being especially suitable for artists who have already tested the small 100g format and want to switch to an economical studio format.
How to use
- Prepare the work area according to the studio's hygiene protocol before starting the tattoo.
- Take the required amount from the 500g container with a clean spatula, directly into an individual disposable cup — never insert fingers or working tools into the main container.
- Apply Tattoo Glide to the tattooed area before starting and during the session as needed.
- Reapply whenever the skin becomes dry or additional friction occurs, especially during long sessions.
- At the end, the product can also be used in moderate amounts as part of immediate aftercare, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Close the container tightly after each use and store it at room temperature, away from direct light.
Tips from us
- Always use a clean spatula to scoop the product from the large container to avoid contaminating the entire 500g stock.
- Transfer the required amount into individual disposable cups per client, especially if the container is shared among multiple artists in the studio.
- Check the composition (medical-grade white petrolatum, clove extract, glycerol, honey, lavender) if any client has known allergies, especially to honey or cloves.
- The 500g format makes sense especially for studios with a high volume of sessions; for occasional use, a smaller format likely remains more practical.
- Keep the container tightly closed, away from direct light and heat, to maintain its freshness throughout use.
Warning: The product contains honey and clove oil (eugenol) — avoid application to clients with known allergies to these ingredients or to bee products. Never insert fingers or working tools directly into the main container; use a clean spatula and individual disposable cups per client to prevent cross-contamination. As a cosmetic product applied to broken skin during tattooing, follow the studio's standard hygiene protocol (gloves, protective barriers, surface disinfection). In case of known allergies or skin conditions, the client should consult a doctor before the session.

Biotat Numbing Tattoo Glide 500g is the professional studio format of the original Biotat tattoo lubricant, offering the best value for high-volume artists. The formula identical to the 100g version contains natural eugenol extracted from cloves — the plant-based anaesthetic with antibacterial properties that reduces client discomfort without lidocaine or synthetic substances. The fluid consistency is optimised for maximum line and stencil visibility, providing superior needle slip on skin. The 500g container covers approximately 100-170 sessions due to the efficient consumption of the fluid formula. Manufactured in the United Kingdom under laboratory conditions to ISO9001 and ISO22716 standards. The 100% vegan, cruelty-free formula is CPNP registered in the EU, free from chlorhexidine and synthetic chemicals. The preferred choice of professional studios for daily work protocol. Integrates with Green Soap for cleaning and Tattoo Butter for protection, forming the complete Biotat Numbing ecosystem. Ideal for artists who have confirmed the product's performance in the 100g format and are ready to transition to the economical studio format.
Frequently Asked Questions Why is the 500g format more economical? The 500g format offers a significantly lower cost per gram than the 100g container, with savings of approximately 25-35%. Additionally, the fluid consistency of Tattoo Glide allows more efficient consumption per session compared to thick butters, making the 500g format extremely economical. A professional studio can cover 100-170 sessions with a single container. How is product freshness maintained in the large format? Keep the container tightly closed after each use, at room temperature, away from direct light. Use a clean spatula to extract product — never insert fingers or work tools directly into the main container. Under normal storage conditions, the product maintains its efficacy for 12 months after opening, more than sufficient for an active studio's consumption. Is it the same formula as the 100g version? Yes, the formula is 100% identical regardless of container size. Same eugenol concentration, same ingredients, same anaesthetic and antibacterial properties. Quality is guaranteed batch to batch through the ISO9001/ISO22716 manufacturing process. The only difference is the quantity and unit price, which is more advantageous for the 500g format. Can I share the 500g container with other studio artists? Yes, the 500g container is ideal for shared studio use, provided hygiene protocols are followed. Each artist must use their own clean spatula to transfer product into disposable individual cups. Do not allow direct access to the main container with contaminated instruments. This protocol prevents cross-contamination between clients. What is the price difference between 100g and 500g? The exact price varies depending on the distributor, but generally the 500g format offers 25-35% savings per gram compared to the 100g. Long-term, for a studio consuming 100g every 2-3 weeks, switching to 500g can generate significant annual savings. Check the current price on tatuat.ro for the exact savings calculation. Does it work well for very long 8+ hour sessions? Yes, Biotat Tattoo Glide is excellent for long sessions. The fluid consistency reapplies quickly and easily throughout the session, and eugenol's anaesthetic effect contributes to client comfort for the entire duration. Many artists working full-day sessions prefer the Glide for the first part (lines) and switch to Hybrid Glide or Butter for the fill phase. Is there a Sumo format larger than 500g? Yes, Biotat offers Sumo 2kg formats in their international range for studios with exceptional volume requirements. Availability may vary on the Romanian market. Contact your local distributor or check tatuat.ro for available options. For most professional studios in Romania, the 500g format offers the ideal balance between economy and freshness. Is it better than Hustle Butter for slip? Biotat Tattoo Glide and Hustle Butter are products with partially different purposes. Biotat Glide has a more fluid consistency offering superior slip for linework, while Hustle Butter has a thicker consistency, being closer to a tattoo butter. Biotat's distinctive advantage is natural eugenol with anaesthetic effect, absent from Hustle Butter's formula. How to transport the 500g jar to conventions? The 500g container can be transported in checked or carry-on luggage to conventions. Ensure the lid is tightly closed and place the container in a plastic bag to prevent leaks. For conventions, many artists prefer to transfer a sufficient amount into a smaller 100g container and leave the main jar at the studio. How quickly does tatuat.ro deliver the 500g format? Delivery time depends on available stock and the delivery method chosen on tatuat.ro. Generally, orders with in-stock products are processed and shipped within 1-2 business days. Standard delivery in Romania typically takes 2-4 business days. Check stock availability directly on the product page at tatuat.ro.
