INK-EEZE Purple Tattoo Ointment 6oz — non-petroleum lubricant & light lavender aftercare balm

INK-EEZE Purple Tattoo Ointment is a petroleum-free lavender balm formulated by tattoo artists to lubricate during tattooing and to protect and soothe fresh ink afterward.

Designed for both professionals and collectors, this 6oz purple ointment blends plant-derived ingredients and essential oils into a non-petroleum base. It works as a tattooing lubricant for artists and a light aftercare balm for healed or healing skin. The formula is cruelty free, fragranced with lavender, and produced in the USA — made to reduce friction during application and to create a protective layer that helps minimize irritation from clothing or rubbing.

How should an artist use this during a tattoo session?

Tattooers apply the ointment sparingly to the skin to keep the needle gliding smoothly and to control excess bleeding without creating a heavy residue. Because the product is non-petroleum and formulated specifically for tattoo work, a little goes a long way and it won't gunk up fine lines when used correctly.

• Apply a thin layer to the work area as needed to reduce friction
• Wipe away excess with sterile paper or gauze between passes
• Use for shading and lining to improve needle glide

Can this be used for tattoo aftercare and how often?

For aftercare, use sparingly to protect fresh ink and prevent clothing from irritating the area. The light, essential-oil blend helps keep the skin comfortable; follow your artist's timeline for switching to regular moisturizers once the tattoo begins to heal.

• Apply a thin layer only when needed to reduce rubbing from clothes
• Do not over-apply—excess ointment can block airflow to the skin
• Follow your artist’s schedule for cleansing and ongoing care

What makes the ingredients different from petroleum-based options?

This ointment avoids petroleum oils and instead uses a non-petroleum base plus essential oils to create a lighter, less greasy barrier. That reduces heavy residue while still providing protection and a pleasant lavender scent without animal testing.

• Non-petroleum formulation reduces thick, sticky buildup
• Infused with essential oils for mild fragrance and skin-friendly feel
• Cruelty-free and made in the USA for traceable production

Will this affect fresh ink or color retention?

When used correctly — thinly and only as directed — the ointment protects fresh tattoos from rubbing and contamination without smothering the skin. It’s formulated by tattoo professionals to support the tattooing process and aid in early protection, not to replace your full aftercare regimen.

• Helps shield fresh ink from friction with clothing
• Use minimally to avoid blocking pores or prolonging scabbing
• Complement with cleaning and moisturizing per artist guidance

Who is this for: INK-EEZE Purple Tattoo Ointment suits professional tattoo artists who need a reliable, non-petroleum lubricant during sessions and tattoo recipients seeking a light, lavender-scented protective balm for immediate aftercare. It's a good choice if you want a cruelty-free, made-in-USA product designed by tattooers and skin-care specialists that combines performance during application with practical protection afterward.
