Mad Rabbit Tattoo Artist Glide — Vegan Tattoo Ointment No-Petroleum, Low-Friction Lubricant for Artists

Mad Rabbit Tattoo Artist Glide is a clean, vegan, petroleum-free tattoo ointment formulated to lubricate the skin during tattooing and support comfort before and after the session.

Designed for professional tattoo artists and people getting inked, this Glide blends plant-based butters and oils with essential oils to create a smooth working surface and a comforting, non-greasy finish. It replaces petrolatum-based products with sunflower oil, shea and cocoa butters, plus lavender for a gentle aroma. The formula focuses on skin conditioning and lubrication without additives that can clog needles or stain fine line work.

How does Mad Rabbit Glide make tattooing easier for artists?

The Glide reduces friction between the needle and skin so lines track cleaner and shading moves smoothly. Its balance of emollients keeps skin supple without leaving a heavy residue that attracts stray ink. Because it’s free of petroleum, it won’t gum up needles or interfere with pigment placement.

• Creates a low-friction surface for consistent needle movement
• Light, non-gumming texture that helps maintain machine performance
• Clear, non-staining finish for accurate color work

What ingredients are in this clean, vegan formula?

Mad Rabbit uses plant-derived emollients and natural butters rather than animal products or petrolatum. Key components include sunflower oil for moisture retention, shea and cocoa butters to condition and soften, plus lavender oil for a calming scent. The result is a cruelty-free, non-petroleum product built to support skin comfort.

• Sunflower oil to help maintain skin hydration
• Shea butter and cocoa butter for deep conditioning
• Lavender essential oil for a mild, soothing aroma
• No petrolatum, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients

When should you apply Tattoo Artist Glide during the tattoo process?

Use Glide throughout the tattoo session to keep the area lubricated and comfortable, and as needed during touch-ups to maintain consistent needle movement. After the session, it can be used briefly to soothe the area before switching to your chosen long-term aftercare product. Follow your artist’s timing and hygiene practices for best results.

• Apply at the start and periodically during tattooing for smooth strokes
• Use sparingly to avoid oversaturation of the stencil area
• Transition to long-term aftercare once the session finishes

How does this product support skin comfort without petroleum?

Rather than relying on occlusive petrolatum, the Glide uses a mix of oils and butters that condition and retain moisture while still allowing skin to breathe. That balance helps reduce dry, cracked skin that can complicate working or healing. The lightweight, plant-based ingredients aim to maintain a healthy-feeling surface during and shortly after tattooing.

• Moisturizes without heavy occlusion or pore-clogging agents
• Helps prevent dry skin that can impair pigment application
• Keeps the tattoo area comfortable without greasy residue

Who is this for: Mad Rabbit Tattoo Artist Glide is built for professional tattoo artists and clients who prefer clean, vegan, cruelty-free products during inking. It suits artists who want a reliable lubricant that won’t affect needle performance and clients who want non-petroleum options for short-term session use. If you need an everyday healing balm, pair the Glide with your artist’s recommended aftercare for longer-term moisture and protection.
