Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 50 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are highly impressed with the products, finding them phenomenal for tattoo aftercare and general skin health, with many stating there's nothing else like them on the market. The quality of the cream and foam cleanser is consistently praised for being light, non-greasy, soothing, and effective in promoting quick healing, reducing itching, and maintaining vibrant tattoo colors. Reviewers also highlight the exceptional staff and service, describing the company as fantastic to deal with and making customers feel like family. However, some people were dissatisfied with the product for new tattoos, experiencing stinging pain and cracking scabs, which led them to revert to their previous creams. Though some found the product couldn't alleviate extreme itchiness in specific areas, especially during tattoo removal, they noted it was generally effective for infection prevention.

Good tattoo cream

I’m impressed with these products. They are not greasy and a little goes a long way a little pricey. But isn’t everything expensive anyway. The foam wash is fantastic. I would recommend it if you have the bucks. Thanks Rob Trainor

Absolutely love this brand!

Absolutely love this brand!! Helps with not only tattoos, but bad eczema too. I have searched high and low for a cream like this, and I’ve finally found my one and only! Have been using this product for years!

Also the second skin, can’t live without this. I work in construction and this helps keep my new pieces dirt free and stops infection. Love, love, love!!!

Good Stuff indeed!

As far as Tattoo creams go, this stuff is the best. Ive tried a few different balms & creams & have settled on Ink Nurse Remedy Cream for my aftercare. It's now part of my daily routine to keep my Tattoos looking fresh. Goes on easy & doesn't feel oily or greasy when applied.
Good Stuff indeed!

I first came across your product when it first got the market. Then again when the range expanded and I was working within a tattoo studio. It is my favourite home grown tattoo after care (and maintence!) range. Great on sensitive skin.
There is nothing i can fault you on, ink nurse is always raising the bar! Thankyou!

I tried ink nurse for the first time

I tried ink nurse for the first time, the stinging pain was so bad I had to wash it off. I tried it again a couple of times during the healing process with no luck. Went back to my normal cream that provided instant relief.

Hey Stephanie, just requested more information to better understand.
While highly unlikely it would be our current formula, there is a slight chance your skin may not agree with a certain botanical or ingredient - it's rare, but possible. Happy to dive further into this for you to see what the case may be, either way - thanks for letting us know.

A great alternative to the norm.

I initially orderd and since re-ordered from Ink nurse to try something different to Bepanthen, the products worked pretty well and i'm happy with the healed product.
Coming from a guy in his 40's that doesn't have an extensive personal care routine this is something i will likely continue with to extend the life out of my tattoo's

Never need another healing/maintenance product!

This product is like a one stop healing and maintenance for any tattoo! Ink nurse cuts back half the healing time of my tattoos and the way it maintains colour tattoos is wonderful. Never need any other product!! More people need to know about it. I’ve told so many tattooists already! Thanks guys!!

AMAZING ALL ROUNDER!!

Had an issues with my order (not the companys fault) and had quick and amazing customer service.

The product itself is phenomenal - there's nothing like this on the market! Heals, no itch, and helps vibrancy. I recommend to all friends getting ink (or with skin irritation).
