Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 55 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Many customers are highly impressed with the product's quality and its effectiveness for tattoo aftercare, noting that it helps with healing, reduces itching, and maintains vibrancy. People appreciate that the cream is non-greasy, light, and versatile, often using it for various skin ailments like eczema and dry skin, not just tattoos. The staff is frequently praised for their helpfulness and for treating customers like family, contributing to an overall excellent service experience. However, some reviewers were not happy with the product for new tattoos, experiencing stinging pain or finding the cream too thin, which led to issues like cracking scabs. A few other people also felt that it couldn't alleviate extreme itchiness in specific areas, particularly during tattoo removal, despite its general effectiveness.

I have tried many different aftercare products and nothing compares to Ink Nurse. I hate aftercare that feels oily on the skin, Ink Nurse however is the complete opposite. Not only does it feel amazin... See more

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.

I was a little skepitcal in buying Ink nurse but Im glad I did best thing ever. My tattoo healed alot quicker using the cream and also the foam was also amazing for the shower it took away the sting. So very happy with the products I bought. Thanks again Ink Nurse

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).

Nothing else compares

Hand on heart, my tattoo’s (large pieces) have recovered faster using Ink Nurse. I’ve tried other brands and they left me dry, itchy and sore. This brand is a bit expensive, but a little goes a long way and it is well worth the money when you’ve just paid a lot for your tattoo. Won’t be going back to any other brand.

Thank you SO much Larissa! Super happy to hear you vouch for ink nurse - truly appreciative for your support and kindness. On the expensive thing - we are actually cheaper per mL than any of the competitors, even that nappy rash ointment - when you buy the 500ml pump especially! Thanks again Larissa.
