Makra Black Rose – Aftercare & Brightener Ointment - for New & Older Tattoos – Protects and Moisturizes – Enhances Colors, Prevents Fading, Brings Back Shine 1.2 Oz/35g (Pack of 3)

The ointment is very smooth and kind of sticky. If you rub it in really well and let it absorb though, the stickiness goes away completely. You don’t need a lot at all either, so this container should last a little while depending on how many tattoos you have.I usually hate lotions because I hate feeling greasy, but after a few minutes this leaves no residue and leaves tattoos looking fresh and skin feeling soft.The tattoo pictured is 3 years old—I tested it on half of the sunflower to see if I could tell a difference. Photo was taken around 5-7 minutes after the first use.

This is amazing, smells clean and fresh, other reviews says it's thick and hard to spread, it is not! It's like a regular lotion, not oily or greasy. I put this on a 3 month old tat and it looks so fresh and new, the colors pop more than with lotion. Aquaphor makes your skin really greasy, this doesn't, it doesn't transfer onto your clothes and it feels smooth and clean, I will be buying this again.

I am currently using this awesome aftercare product to heal a FULL arm sleeve. I tried Aquaphor initially like most people recommend but I just hated the super greasy film it left plus the petroleum nature of the product turned me off. So I started looking elsewhere. I ended up using this product and Ora's Amazing Tattoo Salve which I also wrote a review for.Let's get down to it...I've used this product both on a healed portion of my sleeve and fresh ink. In both instances I had zero issues, no irritation/allergic reaction, etc. that a few users have posted about.PROS- The smell is obviously something that everyone consistently talks about and with good reason. The product has a very soft mango smell with a hint of vanilla (at least to me). It's not overbearingly sweet like something you would get at Bath & Bodyworks. Subtle but you definitely smell it on yourself and others who are close enough will as well. The scent is 5 stars in my book. Unless you're not into fruity scents I can't see anyone being turned off by the scent.- The consistency is really depends on the room temperature. It's actually like a shea/coco butter. Solid at cooler temperatures and more soft pliable in warmer temperatures. Regardless the application is super easy. I usually take very small dab of it on my finger and 'dot' my arm with spots of the product from wrist to shoulder. My body temperature warms the product pretty quickly and I than smooth it all over my arm where the consistency turns to basically a lotion type feel. A little bit goes a long way and if you get a full size tub it should last you a VERY LONG time! Even if you are constantly getting inked with big pieces one tub goes such a LONG way. The bang for your buck is definitely there. Even if you continue to use it as a daily moisturizer you should be able to go MONTHS with daily use.- As I stated before I had zero issues with irritation or an allergic effect. There are people with Mango allergies, yes it's a real thing. But for me I had no such issues. Having used it both on fresh ink and healed ink it has absolutely kept the itching to a minimum as well as the shedding/peeling. I usually apply a decent layer of the product on and then wipe off the excess with a paper towel. This has helped keep my arm moisturized for HOURS. I could probably keep my arm moisturized the ENTIRE day with two applications at most.CONS- I honestly can't think of none on my part as the healing process has been super easy to date. This product smells great, does what it says it does, the cost per usage is well worth the price, and is easy to apply.Having used Ora's Amazing Tattoo salve I have to say they are BOTH 5 star products. I give the edge to this product mainly for two reasons:1. The smell of Hustle Butter is too damn good. I want to spread it on a bagel and eat that [email protected] maybe make a glaze for a cake...Ora's has an herbal citrus smell which I also like and don't mind but Mango's win this one.2. Ora's comes in small jars. The product does go a very long ways too just like HB. However, with a full sleeve I ran through a small jar pretty quickly healing about 8-9 hours session worth of work over a few weeks. I've barely dented the HB container...With that said though if you are getting small pieces done a small jar of Ora's will last you a LONG time as well. Nothing bad to say about that product as well.If anyone finds a way to make an edible Hustle Butter spread comment below...

my cat is obsessed with it

Amazing product love that it takes very little and it makes my tattoo look fresh and new again. Also works great for new tattoos for healing. Love and highly recommend

I bought this thinking it was for fresh healing tattoos, which is my own fault for not reading further. It has fragrance and petrolatum, which you do not want for the healing process. Makes my older ones look great though. If you have body hair it is a bit of process to get it rubbed in. I'd buy this again before I'd buy Mad Rabbit again.

Muy bueno me gustó mucho

I have A lot of tattoos and have used more expensive products, and this is by far my favorite tattoo cream I've ever purchased. I can't believe how inexpensive this is. This is going on my auto purchases. Been using it for almost 2 months now, so I could offer a real and honest review.
