Biotat Tattoo Glide contains natural eugenol from cloves with anaesthetic and antibacterial effect, a unique property that most competing glides do not offer. The lidocaine-free, chlorhexidine-free formula manufactured in the UK under ISO9001/ISO22716 standards guarantees premium quality. The fluid consistency is specially optimised for line visibility and compatibility with all ink types.

Yes, Biotat Tattoo Glide is compatible with all machine types — rotary, coil, pen-style, and pneumatic. The fluid consistency does not accumulate on needles or cartridges and does not interfere with mechanical machine operation. The consistent lubrication allows precise, smooth needle movement through skin regardless of the configuration or speed used.

Apply a thin, even layer to the work area before starting the tattoo. Reapply after each cleaning with Green Soap. The fluid consistency spreads easily and requires minimal amount for uniform coverage. Transfer product from the main container into an individual cup with a clean spatula. Do not over-apply — a thin film is sufficient for optimal slip.

No, Biotat Tattoo Glide is specially formulated not to affect stencil visibility. The transparent formula allows excellent clarity of transferred lines. Apply the stencil on clean, dry skin, wait for it to set completely, then apply the Glide. Many artists choose it precisely for its ability to maintain stencil visibility throughout the entire session.

Original Tattoo Glide has a more fluid consistency offering maximum slip and superior line visibility — ideal for linework and detailed work. Hybrid Glide has an intermediate consistency between glide and butter, also offering additional protection — ideal for fills and long sessions. Both contain natural eugenol. The choice depends on the artist's work style and personal preferences.

Yes, many artists use Tattoo Glide exclusively throughout the entire session, for both lines and fills. The fluid consistency works well at all stages of tattooing. However, some artists prefer to use Glide for lines and switch to Tattoo Butter or Hybrid Glide for fills, taking advantage of the thicker protective barrier during the saturation phase.

Biotat Tattoo Glide contains no added synthetic fragrances. The subtle natural scent comes from eugenol in cloves, which is an active ingredient, not an added fragrance. People with known allergy to cloves or eugenol should avoid the product. For all other users, the formula free from synthetic substances minimises the risk of allergic reactions.

Due to its fluid consistency, Biotat Tattoo Glide is consumed more efficiently than thick butters. A 100g container can cover approximately 20-35 tattoo sessions depending on work size and reapplication frequency. The 100g format is ideal for testing, and artists who adopt it permanently can transition to the economical 500g format.

No, Biotat Tattoo Glide is formulated to facilitate ink penetration, not block it. The formula contains no petroleum-based occlusive ingredients that could create a barrier against pigment absorption. Many artists report more uniform colour saturation and superior line quality when using Biotat Glide compared to traditional petroleum jelly.

Yes, Biotat Tattoo Glide is CPNP registered in the European Union and complies with all European cosmetic safety regulations, including Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Manufacturing to ISO9001 and ISO22716 standards in the United Kingdom guarantees compliance with the strictest quality requirements. The product can be legally marketed and used in all EU countries.
