Products & Applications

Creams containing shea butter or almond oil, or panthenol, which are free from parabens, fragrances and alcohol, are best suited. They should also be dermatologically tested.

After removing the protective film or your Second Skin (it is best to discuss the timing with your tattoo artist), the tattoo should be creamed frequently (4-6 times a day) for the first few days to ensure a good healing process. Do this for a few weeks; after the initial healing process, it can be creamed less frequently (2-3 times a day). It is important not to let the skin dry out.

Yes, all colours offered comply with current EU regulations under REACH.

PMU colours are specially developed for the face and consist of finer pigments. Tattoo colours are more heavily pigmented and intended for deeper skin layers.

Unopened paints generally last for 2–5 years. Once opened, the paint should be used within a few months and stored away from light.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight – ideally at room temperature.

REACH-compliant tattoo inks meet the requirements of the EU Chemicals Regulation. They contain only approved pigments and additives that have been tested for health risks. Since January 2022, only such inks may be used and sold in the EU.

Not for tattooing, but tattoo inks that do not comply with REACH may still be used as artist's inks, provided they are not applied to or inserted into human skin. This means that you may use them, for example, for tattooing on artificial skin/test skin or for illustration and presentation purposes in the artistic field. The use of these inks on humans is prohibited throughout the EU – whether in a studio, privately or on voluntary ‘test subjects’. Advertising or labelling such products as ‘tattoo ink’ is also no longer permitted if they are not REACH-compliant. We only offer REACH-compliant inks to ensure safety and prevent you from accidentally purchasing ink that you are not allowed to use for tattooing.

Machinery & Technology

Coil: powerful, traditional, loud. Rotary: quiet, smooth, versatile. Pen: ergonomic, precise, modern and ideal for cartridges.

Rotary or pen machines are well suited for professionals and beginners alike, as they are low-maintenance, intuitive and low-vibration.

‘Stroke’ refers to the stroke of the needle. Shorter (2.5–3 mm) for shading, longer (3.5–4.2 mm) for lining and packing.

Most cartridges fit into standardised systems. Pen and rotary machines with cartridge handles are generally universally compatible.

Clean after each session, oil regularly (for certain models) and never operate without a protective cover.
