Complete guide: Tattoo Goo Original 9.3g
A classic aftercare balm, developed by pharmacists with natural ingredients, in a mini 9.3 g size — designed for caring for a fresh tattoo during the first weeks of healing. The formula is petroleum-free and lanolin-free, so it lets the skin breathe while hydrating and soothing it. It's suitable both for the client caring for their first tattoo and for studios that want to offer each client an aftercare product at the end of the session.
How to use
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before any contact with the fresh tattoo.
- Clean the tattoo with an antimicrobial soap, morning and evening, using lukewarm water and gentle motions.
- Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel and let it dry completely — do not rub the skin.
- Apply a thin layer of balm to clean skin, 2-3 times a day. A thin layer is sufficient; excess suffocates the skin.
- Massage gently until absorbed, without pulling at scabs or peeling skin.
- Continue the routine throughout the entire healing period, usually 2-4 weeks, until the skin has fully recovered.
- Close the lid after each use and keep the container clean, away from direct heat.
Tips from us
- The 9.3 g size is sized for a small tattoo — for large pieces or long care periods, choose the standard 21 g size (same formula).
- Less is more: a thick layer of balm does not speed up healing, but keeps the skin excessively moist. Apply thinly and evenly.
- If you're an artist, the mini size is ideal to give to the client at the end of the session — multi-packs are also available for high-volume studios.
- Thanks to its compact size, it fits in a pocket or bag, so the client can reapply the balm anywhere throughout the day.
- Do not combine multiple different creams on the same fresh tattoo — choose one aftercare product and keep the routine consistent.
- Avoid pharmacy products based on petroleum or lanolin on a new tattoo: they can clog pores, and lanolin can pull color from a healing tattoo.
Warning: Apply the balm only with clean hands, on clean and dry skin — a fresh tattoo is an open wound, and hygiene is more important than any cream. Do not use the same container for multiple people: the mini size is designed for individual use, precisely to avoid cross-contamination. The product contains natural ingredients such as wheat germ oil, beeswax, and essential oils (lavender, rosemary) — if you know you have allergies to any of them, test on a small area of healthy skin first. This is a cosmetic care product, not a medical treatment: if the tattoo shows intense spreading redness, discharge, fever, or increasing pain, see a doctor, don't rely on the cream.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the 9.3 g and 21 g sizes?▾
The formula is identical — the same natural ingredients, petroleum-free and lanolin-free. Only the quantity differs: 9.3 g is the mini size, suitable for a small tattoo or as a product to give to the client after the session, while 21 g is the standard size, enough for caring for a full tattoo throughout the healing process.
How long does a 9.3 g tin last?▾
With the recommended application of 2-3 times a day, the 9.3 g size covers approximately 1-2 weeks of use for a small tattoo. Complete healing usually takes 2-4 weeks, so for medium or large tattoos, the 21 g option is more practical from the start.
Why does it matter that it's petroleum-free and lanolin-free?▾
Petroleum-based products can clog the pores of tattooed skin, which promotes breakouts and slows down natural healing, while lanolin can pull color from a healing tattoo. In the Tattoo Goo formula, natural beeswax serves as the protective base, allowing the skin to breathe during regeneration.
How do I keep the product hygienic during healing?▾
Apply it only with freshly washed hands, take a small amount once (do not re-dip the finger that touched the tattoo into the container), close the lid immediately after use, and do not share the tin with anyone else. A fresh tattoo is an open wound, and a contaminated container can transfer bacteria directly to the skin.
I'm an artist — does it make sense to buy the mini size for the studio?▾
Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. Many artists give the client a 9.3 g balm at the end of the session as an aftercare product for the first few days. The size is often available in multi-packs (e.g., 36 pieces), an economical solution for studios with high client volume — and each client gets their own container, which is also hygienically correct.
What ingredients does it contain and what does each do?▾
The base is olive oil (over 60%), a gentle lubricant that hydrates the skin. Beeswax is added as a natural protective barrier, cocoa butter for a soothing effect, wheat germ oil for anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin E and tocopheryl acetate for skin regeneration, lavender oil to reduce itching, moisturizing sunflower oil, and rosemary extract with antibacterial and emollient action.
