Salt crust, water and milky serum, for the ectoin and ceramides in PRIME
Step 1 · How PRIME worksEctoin from salt crystals, with ceramides, strengthens skin before the needle so your lines sit sharp.
A soft swirl of white LOCK lotion, the post-tattoo recovery texture
Step 2 · LOCK Recovery ComplexFor the 14 days of healing. Light and breathable, because healing skin needs air, not a heavy seal.
Gotu kola leaves, chamomile flowers and a drop of oil, for the centella, bisabolol and squalane in LOCK
Step 2 · How LOCK worksGotu kola actives help hold the pigment while skin recovers. Chamomile and squalane calm the itch.

SHIELD · Photostable broad spectrum filters

Next generation UVA and UVB filters that stay stable in sunlight.

SKINGRAPHICA PRIME

Step 1 · Prepare

PRIME

Apply twice daily to the area to be tattooed, beginning 21 days before your appointment. Stop at least 12 hours before the needle.

SKINGRAPHICA LOCK

Step 2 · Recover

LOCK

SKINGRAPHICA SHIELD

Step 3 · Protect

SHIELD

Once your tattoo has healed, apply generously every day to clean, dry skin, as the last step of your routine.

    Absolutely love!

    The packaging is gorgeous and the products feel amazing on the skin! You can really feel the quality. I love that there’s a product for every stage of the tattoo journey from prep, aftercare and everyday care to refreshing older tattoos.

    Exceptional quality and performance

    "I’ve had the chance to use both the Prime line and the Healing Cream. I noticed that the Healing Cream promotes faster and smoother recovery compared to other products, and my clients are extremely satisfied with the results. I also saw a significant improvement in the skin condition of a client who used the Prime product for over three weeks. I’m really looking forward to trying the other two products soon. Thank you so much for creating such high-quality products!"
