Stock your studio with essentials your clients will buy on the way out — dermal wraps, healing balms, and aftercare kits ready to sell at the counter.
Good tattoo care does not end when the client leaves the chair. During the following days, the skin needs proper protection and a simple aftercare routine to support healing and preserve the appearance of the tattoo.
Your clients will probably purchase these products anyway. By making professional aftercare products available directly in your studio, you can help them avoid unsuitable alternatives while creating an additional source of revenue for your business.
This is not about pushing unnecessary products. It is about giving clients convenient access to products selected by a professional they already trust.
Turn aftercare advice into a complete service
Most clients leave a tattoo appointment with questions. How long should the tattoo remain covered? Which cream should they apply? How often should they use it? Can they shower normally?
Clear instructions are essential, but providing the recommended products makes those instructions easier to follow. Instead of sending clients home to search online or choose between unfamiliar products, you can offer them a complete aftercare solution before they leave the studio.
This improves the customer experience while reinforcing your professional advice. It also reduces the risk of clients applying unsuitable products simply because they were easy to find.
Products your clients genuinely need
A practical studio aftercare selection does not need to be large. A few carefully chosen products can cover the most important stages following a tattoo session.
Protective tattoo films
Protective polyurethane films create a flexible barrier over the freshly tattooed area. They help protect the skin from external contamination during the first stage of healing while allowing the client to move, sleep and shower more comfortably.
Bloody Film is a waterproof and breathable adhesive film designed specifically for tattoo aftercare. Its elasticity allows it to adapt to curved and articulated areas of the body, while the delicate hypoallergenic adhesive supports comfortable and painless removal.
The film is supplied in a practical 10 cm × 2 metre roll, allowing the artist to cut the required amount according to the size and position of the tattoo. Bloody Film is also a CE-marked medical device.
Soothing aftercare creams
Once the protective film has been removed, the client needs a suitable product to keep the skin comfortable and properly cared for. A professional tattoo aftercare cream is a more appropriate choice than generic cosmetic products or petrolatum-based alternatives that were not developed for freshly tattooed skin.
Bloody Copaiba is an emollient and soothing tattoo care cream formulated for all skin types. Its formula combines carefully selected natural ingredients, including copaiba oleoresin, shea butter, bisabolol, coconut oil, rice oil, calendula extract and vitamin E.
These ingredients help soothe the skin, reduce the feeling of irritation and protect it from environmental stress during the delicate aftercare period. The formula is also 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
The practical 30 ml airless bottle is easy for clients to use and carry. Quantity discounts and a countertop display are available with purchases of more than 20 pieces, making it particularly suitable for resale in busy studios.
A larger format for complete aftercare
For clients who prefer a larger quantity, Bloody Aftercare 50 ml offers the same established formula in a more generous format.
It is available individually or in a practical cardboard display containing 20 pieces. The display can be placed near the reception desk, payment area or aftercare information point, keeping the product visible without making the sales process feel intrusive.
A versatile butter for studio and home use
The original Bloody tattoo butter was created through a collaboration between Gabriele Anakin and Professional Body Supply to support artists during tattooing and clients during aftercare.
During the tattoo session, its emollient and soothing texture helps keep the skin relaxed and comfortable. After the session, the same formula can be recommended as part of the client’s home-care routine.
This makes it an easy product to introduce naturally: the client has already seen and experienced it during the appointment. Quantity discounts and a display are available for purchases of more than 24 pieces.
Make aftercare products easy to notice
Aftercare products do not require a complicated sales strategy. Their value is already connected to the service you have just provided.
Place a small selection near the checkout area and explain which product you recommend while reviewing the aftercare instructions. A simple phrase such as “This is the cream I recommend using at home” is usually enough.
Product displays can also help clients understand that the items are available for purchase without making them feel pressured. Keep the area clean, organised and limited to products you actually use or trust.
Create a simple aftercare kit
Studios can make the buying decision even easier by combining complementary products into a ready-to-use aftercare kit.
A basic kit could include:
- A protective tattoo film for the first stage of healing
- A 30 ml or 50 ml soothing aftercare cream
- Printed instructions explaining how and when to use each product
You can offer the kit separately or include it as an optional addition to the tattoo appointment. This gives the client everything needed to begin the aftercare routine correctly, without having to search for products elsewhere.
More than an additional sale
Selling aftercare products can increase the value of each appointment, but the main benefit is the continuity of care.
The client receives a professional product, clear guidance and a more convenient experience. The artist gains greater confidence that the tattoo will be cared for using suitable products. The studio creates an additional revenue stream based on a genuine client need.
It is a straightforward extension of the service you already provide: professional tattoo care from the first line to the final stage of healing.
