Tattoo Goo Original - Aftercare Salve (21G)

I rarely ever leave reviews but this stuff is fantastic. Having not bothered too much about aftercare on previous tattoos (bad idea), and decided to take better care of my new (currently being worked on) tattoo. Having read a lot of reviews on a lot of different products I took a chance on tattoo goo, and I'm so glad I did. Tattoo goo does a fantastic job on new work. No tightness, cracks or scabs, just a nice gradual healing with a natural dispersion of the surface as it goes. It isn't too tacky so it doesn't mess with clothes, and it even smells good! I also tried the tube of cream version of tattoo goo but for me it isn't as effective. It does go easier and spreads better but it appears to evaporate / absorb quicker and left the skin feeling tight fairly soon after applying.

I have always used Bepanthem for the healing of my tattoos but always found it to be messy and it did make my skin a bit red. After getting my recent tattoo my tattooist recommended E45 cream instead. I used it and for a couple of days everything seemed fine with the healing. However by the third day my surrounding skin broke out in a very red, raised and itchy rash. I went to the doctors and they were trying to give my hydrocortisone cream to clear the rash up. However, I knew I couldn't use it as it would ruin my tattoo that I had paid a fortune for. I put up with the itching and in the meantime used Double base gel which I have been getting prescribed to me. However, It felt too gentle for the remaining healing of my tattoo. I looked warily on Amazon and looked at all the reviews. I came across Tattoo Goo and noticed that it was good for sensitive skin.. The doctor told me I was probably allergic to lanolin. Big problem for me as a lot of things contain this. Tattoo Goo does not contain any lanolin so thought I would give it a dry. The salve immediately started working on any dryness, cooled and moisturised my skin without it being slimy. Brilliant stuff. I won't be using anything else except from Tattoo Goo now!!

I had a fresh tattoo when my friend advised to me straight away to buy Tattoo Goo. She had used before in advice of her friend. My partner did a tattoo the same time as me, so I ordered two units. One point minus from me this is a smell, not my taste,and it's not stinking, similar to aloe, but I don't like it. Quality and absorbance - on a high level,5stars from me and my partner as well. My skin is quite sensitive and I had no reactions on this creme. Tattoos healed fast without complications. It seems like 21g is not a lot, but it was enough for few weeks for two people as you don't need to use a lot. I came here to share my opinion with you and to order another few Tattoo Goo's for my partner who will continue to do full sleeve and asked few more bottles.

Up to now I've always used bepanthen to care for my tattoos, but under the guidance of a new artist I gave tattoo goo a go. Now to clarify, I did not use this until the third day after I got my tattoo (I used bepanthen up until that point). Be that as it may, I thought this product was very good. Lubricages nicely, doesn't stick to your clothes much, and most importantly my tattoos came through it looking great. Using bepanthen id never had considerable skin flaking and scabbing before, I did have that using this. But this isn't a bad thing as this is normal, and I think my tattoos might even look better for it. I applied this 3 times a day, however most of the time I was wearing vests (the tattoos were done on my arm). If you're going to wear clothes over your tattoo I recommend you use this a minimum of 4 times a day, as it will wear off quicker. The only knock I have on it is, while it's good for the first two weeks of healing, it did seem to heal the tattoos slower than bepanthen. On the last day or two of aftercare I used bepanthen just to kick the can over the line to speak. But I don't think this is a bad thing, because I'd rather use a dedicated tattoo product. I'd highly recommend this product, used in conjunction with a bit of bepanthen.

If you're looking for a good tattoo aftercare for the first few days of having your sesh. This stuff is perfect, it has a pleasant smell of lavender and it helps soothe and heal the skin pretty quick as it keeps the ink moisturised and absorbs quickly, it's a good amount of product for the cost. And you only need a small amount to cover large areas. My tattoo after care routine: 1. Keep a gauze pad on for first 24hours (no second skin!) 2. Wash the ink with warm water the following day and let it breathe using a small amount of goo. (You can buy a body wash version too) 3. Apply the second skin before sleeping and keep on for 2-3 days 4. After removal of second skin use goo for one more day. (It's better than Palmers for soothing the itch) 5. Continue to moisturise with PALMERS cocobutter until satisfied the ink is healed and moisturised. Avoid BUPANTHEN. It will ruin your ink.

10/10 for new and old tattoos

Been using this product for many many years use it regularly will not scab takes away the swelling would highly recommend

It's been 10yrs since I last had a new tattoo & used bepanthem then...formula been changed apparently & no longer recommended for after care for your fresh ink. After reviewing so many different creams/ ointments I decided to give Tattoo Goo a go & I haven't been disappointed. For me personally I found Tattoo Goo so easy to apply & feels wonderfully soothing. I have had no problems with any scabbing ( so far anyway) Keeps my tattoos moist with no drying out. Yes it is a little tin that's no doubt but I agree with what others have said that a little goes a long way. Plenty in the tin for several days use applying 4 times a day to my 2 tattoos !! It is still early days for my tattoos yet ( day 4) so I will add a update in a couple of weeks time. But so far for me I love this Tattoo Goo & wished I knew about it before with my previous tattoos all them years ago!!

Love this GOO , my tattoos seem to heal a bit quicker . IT;s not greasy and there is no smell .. Definitely going to order more

Veramente funzionale ne basta una goccia per oleare tutto, e ammorbidire. Ne prenderò un altra sicuro

Hält recht lang an, selbst wenn sehr wenig aufgetragen wird. Kein „eingeschmiert“ Gefühl, Hose klebt zb. Nicht an. Das beste- bei mir juckt es damit wirklich erheblich weniger als mit zb bepanthen plus . Hab es nach den ersten zwei Tag benutzt, davor wie immer bepanthen plus, so wenig wie möglich, so viel wie nötig;)

Sin duda la mejor crema que he usado, a mi se me curan muuy lento los tatuajes normalmente, se me quedan pelando y me pican durante muchas semanas. Con esta crema me aparentaba curado despues de 2 semanas de usarlo 3 veces al dia despues de lavar. lo seguire usando 2 o 3 veces al dia hasta las 4 semanas aprox para asegurar que se cure del todo. Tiene olor, pero no esta perfumado, son los aceites naturales que lleva que naturalmente huelen asi. Todos los ingredientes son naturales, no me dieron alergia, huelen bien, no lleva pantenol (habra quien lo quiere porque cura bien, pero tambien hay evidiencia de que es malo para el color), y alivia bastante el picor aun sin tener pantenol. Todos son pros importantes que superan las contras. Eso si, tiene contras. Para empezar viene muy poco, no debes saturar el tatuaje nunca, pero si tu tatuaje es grande compra 2 porque te podria faltar. lo que sobra viene bien para mantener tatuajes curados tambien dicen. Luego en hecho que venga empaquetado como un balsamo labial que tienes que tocar la superficie del balsamo con el dedo cada vez y exposar todo el contenido al aire cada vez que lo abres no me gusta por motivos de higiene. Cada vez que lo tocas debes tener las manos muy limpias, pero aun asi no es ideal. El dia que pongan este mismo producto en un tubo sera perfecto, tambien porque eso se puede abrir con una mano, mientras la otra la dejas totalmente limpia para tocar el tatuaje. El tarrito este necesitas las dos manos para abrirla. Y es un poco caro por la cantidad que viene, pero considero que vale la pena por funcionar bien. El precio es por ser una importacion, en paginas de EEUU esta muchisimo mas barato.

Juste un produit parfait : celui ci est idéal dans l’utilisation de la cicatrisation d’un tatouage. Ses composants sont entièrement naturels, ce baume sent très bon sans pour autant avoir une odeur chimique, et surtout : il ne colle pas !! Il laisse un film non gras sur la peau, permettant à votre tatouage de ne pas être irrité par le frottement de vêtements. Il apaise également en cas de démangeaisons dans la première phase de cicatrisation. Par la suite, je l’ai également utilisé afin de continuer d’hydrater mon tatouage et qu’il ne « ternisse » pas (bien que ce phénomène soit naturel). Je recommande vivement ce produit !
