All about Tattoo Hygiene, Tattoo Care and Tattoo Aftercare

More information about hygiene products, care products or aftercare products from Tattoosafe:

Tattoosafe is your tattoo supply for first-class products around tattoo hygiene, tattoo care and tattoo aftercare. No matter how breathtaking your tattoo art is, no matter how charismatic you are as an artist, no matter how stylish your studio is - you cannot be successful without the best hygienic precautions. Hygiene means protection for you and protection for your clients. What do you have to do?

Disinfection of all surfaces before and after your work: To disinfect workstations, work surfaces, couches, chairs, tables or floors, you have the choice between disinfectant wipes, surface disinfection with a neutral, unobtrusive scent or, for example, the scent Green Apple in 1 litre bottles or 5 litre canisters. The manufacturers guarantee you an almost residue-free and comfortable application as well as a high cleaning power. Unigloves and Dr. Schumacher are absolute top manufacturers in the field of surface disinfection.

Disinfection of skin and hands before and during your work: Wipe Outz, Unigloves and Dr. Schumacher are our preferred suppliers for this area. Choose from alcohol-free disinfectant wipes or, in the case of Unigloves and Dr. Schumacher, from ready-to-use skin disinfectants in various fillings. They are all very skin-friendly and suitable for spraying or dabbing. Available as a spray bottle or as a matching 500 ml bottle for use in a long arm dispenser, which you can find in our tattoo accessories category.

Disinfection of instruments and equipment after your work: With these products you can prevent possible infections caused by germs or bacteria. The products from Unigloves and Dr. Schumacher are fast-acting, odourless, cleaning-active and available as liquid products or powder cleaners in our shop. No matter whether your equipment and instruments are made of metal, plastic, ceramic, glass or porcelain - clean them effectively with these high-quality products!

You can also use an autoclave to sterilise instruments and tattoo accessories. Hot steam under pressure is used as the sterilising agent in this technique. Are you more interested in an ultrasonic cleaning device? Click here for the 0.9 L Sonorex, which is able to clean 4 tattoo machines at the same time.

Protective clothing keeps you safe from contamination by wound fluid or tattoo ink. Equip yourself with tattoo gloves, face mask, respirator, disposable apron and sleeve protectors. Tattoo gloves from Elephant are excellent because the coating with Lanolind®, a formulation of lanolin and vitamin E, protects your hands from drying out. Other suppliers also offer excellent tattoo gloves: Unigloves, Vitril and Black Magic.

Tattoo gloves protect your hands - protect your equipment too! The manufacturers Elephant and Ecotat offer you environmentally friendly alternatives of protective sleeves for tattoo machines, clip cords, grips, cups and water bottles. Made from one hundred percent renewable raw materials. By buying these products you are helping the environment.

TATFORMANCE produces the Quality Grip Bandage in black or camouflage. You protect your grip from all external influences with this accessory - your cleaning effort is reduced. During tattooing, the TATFORMANCE Blue Foam helps you to remove excess ink, Vaseline residues or wound secretions from the skin. The transparent ink caps in sizes 9, 13, 16 and 18 mm help you achieve greater hygiene. They guarantee perfect stability thanks to a stable rim on the underside of the caps.

If you have taken all these hygienic precautions, you are perfectly prepared for the daily work in your tattoo studio. Now it's time for the right care during and after your work. We also can help you with these! In our assortment you will find only selected suppliers of excellent products or care series. 

Tattoomed offers the complete feel-good package for medical tattoo care! The areas of cleaning, wound protection, care and color protection make Tattoomed an interesting partner for you. The skin is very stressed immediately after the tattoo session and needs special attention. The tattoomed Tattoo Protection Film, a tattoo tape as an alternative to the suprasorb foil dressing, as well as Tattoomed After Tattoo help the freshly tattooed skin to heal and protect it from inflammation and incrustation. Cleansing Gel is a wash lotion for daily use, Daily Tattoo is a care cream for healed tattoos, Sun Protection is a highly effective UVA/UVB protection and After Sun helps sun-irritated tattooed skin to regenerate.

Skin Stories is Beiersdorf's first tattoo anti-aging skin care range. InkGuard Technology has been specially developed for tattooed skin.

Suitable for all skin types, skin compatibility is dermatologically confirmed. All products are free of microplastics, mineral oils and parabens.

Believa Professional Tattoo Butter is used before tattooing as a lubricant and lubricating agent, which prepares the skin soft and supple for the following tattooing process. For subsequent wound care, the transparent tattoo film protection is recommended. The tattoo protection film is a CE-certified medical product that ensures optimal wound healing after tattooing. The tattoo film bandage reduces the penetration of dirt and bacteria and offers a high level of wearing comfort as well as hygiene protection against textile friction. The freshly tattooed skin can relax optimally after the stitching and the tattoo can heal in calm under the tattoo foil bandage. A noteworthy alternative to the suprasorb foil bandage.

Frequently asked questions:

Which cleaning form of reusable grips or tips do you recommend?
Honestly: Look in your cash box! An autoclave or ultrasonic cleaner has a high purchase price, but it is worth it because your instruments and accessories will be gently sterilized with hot steam in an environmentally friendly way. If you are not willing or able to invest in these devices, disinfectants are an effective alternative.

Is suprasorb tattoo foil bandage the best?

All products in our range have been carefully tested by us. Every wound patch has reached our shop, i.e. passed the test. The question is, with which one do you work best? Learning by doing! Look right here and try it out!

When is tattoo sun protection necessary?

In our European climes, UV radiation from April onwards is strong enough to cause lasting damage to tattoos. The so called UV index indicates the strength of the current radiation on a scale from 1 to 11+. A look at the website of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection shows you the current value in your region (measured every 3 days between April and September). Sun protection is recommended from 3 onwards. Click here for the UV index.
