This is a sunscreen stick specially developed for tattooed skin, with SPF 50+ that covers both UVA and UVB radiation. The compact 10 g format fits in any pocket or bag, making reapplication realistic wherever you are — at the beach, in the mountains, or during a long day outdoors. It is intended for anyone with a fully healed tattoo who wants to keep it protected from the sun, as well as for artists looking for a simple product to recommend to clients after healing is complete. The manufacturer also indicates it for areas with permanent makeup on lips and eyebrows.
Can I use it on a fresh tattoo, done a few days ago?▾
No. A fresh tattoo is essentially an open wound, and sunscreen should not be applied to healing skin. During this time, protect the area by keeping it covered with loose clothing and avoiding direct sun entirely. Switch to sunscreen only after the skin has fully healed, with no scabs and no sensitivity.
Does it really help keep my tattoo vibrant?▾
Sun exposure is one of the main factors that fade a tattoo over time, so consistent protection is the simplest measure you can take. The manufacturer indicates SPF 50+ with protection against UVA and UVB rays, specially developed for tattooed skin. An exact result cannot be promised — it depends on how much you are exposed, your skin type, and how disciplined you are with reapplication — but a tattoo kept in the shade and protected ages visibly better than one left in the sun.
How often should I reapply it, and does it hold up if I go in water?▾
The manufacturer recommends reapplying every 2 hours for optimal protection. The product is water resistant, but 'water resistant' does not mean 'permanent': after getting out of water, after heavy sweating, or after towel drying, reapply regardless of how much time has passed since the last application. Towel drying is what removes the protective layer the fastest.
How do I keep it hygienic if the stick touches the skin directly?▾
The basic rule: one stick, one person. Apply it only on clean and dry skin to avoid getting sand, sweat, or lotion residue on the stick head. Close the cap immediately after use and keep it in a cool place — not in the glove compartment or directly on a towel in the sun. If you see marks or impurities on the stick surface, remove them with a clean tissue before the next application.
Stick or cream — which one suits my tattoo?▾
It mainly depends on the area and context. The stick is ideal for small and medium tattoos, for narrow areas or those hard to cover evenly, and for situations where you want something compact to carry with you — the 10 g format is designed exactly for this, and the product is not sticky and moisturizes the skin during use. For very large areas, such as a whole arm or a tattooed back, a stick requires more passes, so many prefer to use it for touch-ups and combine it with a spreadable product for large surfaces. In any case, check the label of the product you received before first use.
