Vaselina Pure Petroleum Jelly Original is a basic consumable for any tattoo studio, as well as a general skin care product for home use. It is 100% petroleum jelly, triple purified, in a 250 ml jar. In the studio it is used to keep the skin moist during work and for the clarity of stencils, and outside the studio it works as a simple protection for dry or cracked skin.
What exactly is this petroleum jelly used for in a tattoo session?▾
It is used as a protective layer on the skin and on the stencil during tattooing — it keeps the skin moist, helps wipe off excess ink more easily, and keeps the stencil lines clearer throughout the work. Being 100% petroleum jelly, triple purified, it is a versatile product, easy to apply in a thin layer.
How do I maintain hygiene of the 250 ml jar when using it on multiple clients?▾
Never put fingers or instruments used directly on the client's skin back into the jar. Take the necessary amount with a clean spatula, ideally transferred into a small disposable container for each client, so that the rest of the product in the jar remains untouched.
Is a 250 ml jar enough for a studio?▾
It depends on the number of sessions and the size of the tattoos worked on, information we cannot estimate without additional data. In general, being used only in a thin layer, the amount is consumed more slowly than it might seem at first glance — however, keep in mind that, used correctly (with spatula, small amount per client), the jar lasts for multiple sessions.
Can I use this product at home as well, not just in the studio?▾
Yes — it is a general-purpose cosmetic petroleum jelly, suitable for dry or cracked skin (elbows, knees, heels, hands), as protection in cold weather or as a simple lip balm. Apply a thin layer on clean skin as needed.
Can it replace a specialized tattoo healing cream?▾
The product sheet does not present the petroleum jelly as specially formulated for post-tattoo care, but as a general skin protection product. For the aftercare stage, always follow the recommendation of your artist or the studio where you got tattooed, who may prefer a dedicated product.
Is it suitable for sensitive or reaction-prone skin?▾
Pure petroleum jelly is generally a well-tolerated product, but any skin can react differently. If you have a history of sensitivity or allergies, test on a small area before applying on larger surfaces and stop use if irritation occurs.
