Methodology

How we review.

Aftercare products

Every product is bought anonymously at retail. We apply each to a fresh tattoo under controlled conditions (same session, same artist, same ink) and track:

  • Day 1–3: absorption, irritation, ooze containment
  • Day 4–14: flake quality, itching, saturation at peak peel
  • Week 3–6: final saturation, color vibrancy, line-edge sharpness

Day 5–7 · Mid-peel

Week 6 · Scored
