Otzi Tattoo Care Cream 50ml

The manufacturer recommends 3 to 4 applications per day for 10 days, each preceded by cleaning the tattoo. After this period, follow the instructions of the artist who did your tattoo — they see the work, the area, and your skin type and can adjust the routine. Important: do not compensate for a missed application by applying more cream the next day; the small amount massaged until absorbed is exactly what the formula requires.

It depends on the tattoo surface area and how thinly you apply it. The product data does not indicate a number of applications, so any figure would be a guess. As a practical reference: for a small tattoo applied correctly in a thin layer, the consumption per application is very low; for a large piece, on a full arm or back, it is reasonable to expect more than one bottle for the 10-day care period.

Here the packaging works in your favor: the airless bottle is a sealed system that prevents oxidation of the ingredients and provides protection against bacteria, microorganisms, and airborne allergens (pollen, spores, dust), so the formula remains pure until the last use. You just need to follow the basic rules: wash your hands before each application, do not insert fingers or objects into the bottle, do not touch the dispensing nozzle directly to the skin, and one bottle per person. Keep it closed, at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

It is formulated for tattoo aftercare, not as a general moisturizer: it contains shea butter (rich in fatty acids and vitamins, with emollient and soothing effects), panthenol, bisabolol, calendula flower extract, and apricot kernel oil, and the texture is designed not to stick or stain — a minor detail that matters when you need to dress over the area. However, check the ingredient list before ordering: the formula includes beeswax (relevant if you avoid animal-derived ingredients) and liquid paraffin/mineral oil (relevant if you prefer to avoid this type of ingredient). If you have had reactions to any ingredient in the list in the past, choose something else.

The manufacturer cites three results obtained in external tests: a 62% increase in the moisture content of the outer layers of the epidermis within the first hour of application (study by the Idea Dermatological Institute), a significant regenerative action after just 3 days of use, and significant restructuring of the skin barrier within 3 hours of application (both, studies by the Bio-ec biological research center). These are the manufacturer's claims regarding the cosmetic effect on the skin, not promises about how your tattoo will look — healing depends on the work, the tattooed area, your skin, and how disciplined you are in following the care routine.

The routine described by the manufacturer starts from a cleaned and patted-dry tattoo, so it assumes direct contact with the skin, not application over a film. When exactly to start care and when to remove the bandage or adhesive film are decisions that remain with your artist and the film manufacturer's instructions — follow those, then move on to the cleaning and application schedule of 3-4 times a day. If you have any doubts, a message to the studio costs you a minute and saves you a week of incorrect care.
