# What Is the Best Tattoo Aftercare Ointment?
Choosing the right aftercare ointment is crucial for optimal healing and pigment retention in semi-permanent makeup. Below, we break down key considerations and top recommendations for professionals.
Key Qualities of an Effective Aftercare Ointment
- Non-Comedogenic: Prevents clogged pores, reducing infection risks.
- Antibacterial Properties: Helps protect against microbial contamination (e.g., bacitracin or panthenol).
- Hypoallergenic: Minimizes irritation for sensitive skin.
- Moisturizing Yet Light: Avoids heavy formulas that suffocate healing skin (e.g., water-based gels).
Top Recommended Ointments
1. Aquaphor Healing Ointment
- Contains panthenol and glycerin for deep hydration.
- Trusted by dermatologists for post-procedure care.
2. Hustle Butter Deluxe
- Vegan, fragrance-free, and packed with natural butters (shea, mango).
- Promotes faster healing and reduces scabbing.
3. Bepanthen Tattoo Aftercare Cream
- Specifically formulated for tattoos and PMU.
- Includes provitamin B5 to support skin regeneration.
What to Avoid
- Petroleum-Based Products (e.g., Vaseline): Can trap bacteria and delay healing.
- Heavy Fragrances or Alcohol: May cause irritation or dryness.
Expert Aftercare Tips
- Apply a thin layer 2–3 times daily for 5–7 days.
- Avoid sun exposure and swimming during initial healing.
- Follow your artist’s aftercare protocol for best results.
For long-term pigment vibrancy, recommend clients use SPF post-healing.

Super Essence
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?
In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and eyeliner tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.
Payment
What methods of payment are accepted?
We accept various payment methods including T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), Western Union, Credit cards, Alipay, WeChat, and more.
Lip patch
How should I choose a numbing product? Order of use and recommendations?
Generally speaking, we recommend choosing numbing products based on your operating experience, usage habits, treatment stage, treatment area, and applicable population. Here are some tips for choosing numbing products.
1. Treatment stage: Before treatment: tattoo numb cream/tattoo numb essence; During treatment: secondary tattoo numb essence
2. Treatment area: Eyebrows: tattoo numb cream/tattoo numb essence/eyebrow patch; Eyeliner: numbing cream; Lips: tattoo numb cream/numbing essence/lip patch; Body: tattoo numb cream.
3. Operating experience: Beginner: tattoo numb cream; Professional: all are okay
4. Applicable skin: Normal skin: all are okay; Sensitive skin: nano numb cream
Powder Pigment
What is the difference between hybrid tattoo powder pigment and liquid pigment?
Liquid pigment is a pigment based on water, with small molecules, strong fluidity and permeability. The ink can quickly penetrate into the deep layer of the skin, color quickly, and retain color for a long time. It is the best tattoo ink for permanent makeup professional artists to use with machines. hybrid powdered pigment is a pigment based on a combination of water and oil. The color is brighter, the molecules are relatively large, and the fluidity is moderate. It can be used with both machines and hand pens, and is a good choice of high quality permanent makeup pigment for novices and professional tattoo artists.
