Stage-Targeted Formulations

  • Applying SKINGRAPHICA PRIME to skin before a tattoo
     

    Prepare

    Before the needle touches your skin, the condition of your skin determines how well it will take ink. Hydrated, resilient skin is easier to tattoo, absorbs pigment evenly, and heals better.

  • Applying SKINGRAPHICA LOCK to a fresh tattoo
     

    Recover

    Tattooing creates an open wound. Your body responds by clotting, forming scabs, and regenerating skin. The way you care for your tattoo in these first weeks determines how much pigment “locks in” permanently.

  • Applying SKINGRAPHICA SHIELD SPF 15 to a tattoo, portrait crop
     

    Protect

    Sunlight, pollution, and friction all cause tattoos to fade and blur over time. The most damaging factors are UV radiation and high-energy visible light.

  • Applying SKINGRAPHICA LUME to a healed tattoo for vibrancy
     

    Restore

    Over years, tattoos inevitably soften. Skin renews itself constantly, and time takes a toll on vibrancy. But modern skincare can help refresh older tattoos, restoring definition and brightness.

The Restorer

Almost nobody on earth was tattooing like a 17th-century engraver, and within six months of opening his Milan studio, collectors were crossing oceans to lie on his table. Nothing is designed in advance: every piece is built with the client on the morning of the appointment, drawn to fit the body, and almost always large. Eleven years in, Marco C. Matarese is ranked among the 100 best tattoo artists on earth. The restorer chose the one canvas that can't be saved.
