  • A: We recommend listening to your professional tattoo artist for healing instructions. When using the tattoo butter, a little goes a long way. With clean hands, apply a thin amount next to your tattoo. let it melt, then spread a thin layer over your tattoo. This little amount will allow your tattoo to breathe. Over applying will suffocate your tattoo! We usually recommend 2-3x a day or if tattoo becomes dry and tight, remember always use clean hands when applying.
