The Essential Role of Skincare in the Tattoo Process

The Full Line of R.I.P Tattoo Care

Even the most beautiful tattoo done by the greatest of artists can only be as good as the canvas it's created on. This is why proper skincare, both before and after your session, is such an important part of the overall process. For this reason, Crooked Crows now carries the entire line of R.I.P Tattoo Care.

-Bloodmoon Body Lotion-

While good skincare in the tattooing process is often highly overlooked, creating a healthy canvas for your artist is essential to the outcome of your tattoo. To keep your skin in tip-top condition prior to tattooing, as well as after the process is complete, we recommend Bloodmoon Body Lotion. Great for both tattooed and non-tattooed skin alike, it's the perfect addition to your daily ritual, ensuring your skin is healthy, hydrated, and continuously vibrant!

-Eclipse Numbing Cream-

Your tattoo session should be a sacred moment that's just for you. If pain is not what you want for your experience, we proudly offer numbing cream from R.I.P Tattoo Care. We recommend stopping by the shop or visiting www.riptattoocare.com to purchase yours prior to your appointment, as the cream must be applied at least 90 minutes before your tattoo begins.

-Hallowtide Glide-

Created primarily with artists in mind, Hallowtide Glide helps soften the skin and create a smooth surface for them to work with. When used during the tattoo process, this glide reduces friction on the skin, as well as creates an added layer of moisture and protection with all-natural antimicrobial ingredients. Hallowtide can also be used as aftercare, in place of Blackmoon Body Butter.

-Phantom Foam Cleanser-

A favorite of artists for foam reveal videos, this cleanser is a gentle safeguard for your fresh tattoo. It's uniquely designed to prevent infections and minimize irritation. With daily use during your healing phase, Phantom Foam gently eliminates dead skin and impurities on your tattoo while rejuvenating your skin to maintain your ink's original vibrancy.

-Blackmoon Body Butter-

Blackmoon Body Butter is the embodiment of R.I.P's slogan, "Recover in Peace." Unlike the traditionally recommended healing products, which contain pore clogging petroleum that dulls your ink, Blackmoon uses all natural ingredients like Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil to hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, as well as heal with its anti-inflammatory and cooling properties. Its powers go far beyond tattoos as well! It's a multifaceted solution to many common skin issues including sunburns, minor cuts, scar management, diaper rash, and so much more!
