Purple Glide by Ink Eeze is a petroleum-free tattoo glide ointment infused with essential oils, designed to work in two stages: as a lubricant on the skin during the session and as a care layer after the tattoo is finished. The formula was developed together with tattoo artists and skin care specialists, so it addresses both the artist who wants a clean needle glide and the client who needs a product to maintain the skin during the healing period. It is a consumable, so it is used in small amounts — a little goes a long way.
Is it used only during tattooing or also after?▾
Both. Purple Glide is designed for dual use: as a lubricant (glide) on the skin during the tattooing process, for a cleaner needle glide and wiping away excess ink, and as an aftercare product, applied in thin layers during the healing period.
Does it contain Vaseline or petroleum derivatives?▾
No. The formula is declared petroleum-free and is infused with essential oils. Listed ingredients include safflower oil, white beeswax, tamanu oil, lavender oil, propolis, and royal jelly.
Why is it purple?▾
The shade comes from a cosmetic colorant in the formula (D&C Violet No. 2), which is why it is called 'Purple Glide'. The color is part of the product's appearance and does not change how it is used.
How often should I apply it during the healing period?▾
The frequency adapts to the size of the tattoo: for large areas, several times a day; for small tattoos, once or twice is usually enough. Use a small amount each time on pre-cleaned skin and avoid over-application.
How do I store it and avoid contamination?▾
Keep it in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. For hygiene, take the product with clean gloves or a spatula, not directly with ungloved fingers, and clean the tattoo before each application to avoid introducing impurities under the layer.
Is it suitable if I have sensitive skin?▾
The formula contains essential oils, propolis, royal jelly, and a cosmetic colorant, ingredients that can be allergens for some people. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies, test on a small area first and monitor the reaction before using it on the entire tattoo.
