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.

Amazing healing

Whilst it is on the pricey side, ive never healed so well and so quickly! At work on a 12hr shift tho i didn't have time to reapply as i needed so a balm like dr pickles was needed. If you guys can make a balm im ink nurse all the way!

Communicated by email that unfortunately Auspost had lost or mishandled your order so we arranged a replacement free of charge. Every time this happens with Auspost we lose a lot of money and product so it’s unfortunate that this lead to a one star review.
Hopefully once you receive your product you’ll change your mind.
Thanks, Betty

This cream, so far so good. I still have some minor issues with my body ink, the occasional rash and this cream has helped and some fading. I have used the cream as I said, so far so good.
Thank you Ink Nurse

Great product guys

Great product guys
As always I’m sceptical about using a new product, yours really is non greasy and not overpowering smell, I use it on my entire suit well except for my back as I can’t reach all of it!
I’ve got over 20 years of ink collection on me and it really brings my whole suit together.
Happy to send some snaps for product.
Regards
Chris

I have extremely sensitive skin and…

I have extremely sensitive skin and suffer from allergic reactions that doctors haven't been able to narrow down what causes them so im extremely wary of what I put on my skin and this stuff is amazing! No reactions no irritations smells amazing skin feels amazing and tattoos look amazing. You also don't need a lot.

Perfection!

Fabulous product with a lovely light scent that isn't overpowering. My new tattoo drank it up and asked for more, and my old tattoos have loved it as well. I've been using it as a moisturiser in dry spots - elbows, feet, and they're soft as silk now. Love it and will definitely buy more. :)

Some positive some negative.

This product is priced well, good quantity. On my older tattoos it works well however upon using it as aftercare for a fresh tattoo it started intensly burning and continued to burn for about 5-10 minutes after that. Ive had many different tattoo balms and no others have been painful and given me this extreme burning. For fully healed tattoos its good. Not a good aftercare for new tattoos however!

I do my own tattoos and this stuff is soo much better then that A&D ointment i swear! And it stops my tattoos from cracking and getting really sore and itchy or infected i shall be buying ink nurse from now on in!

I love how ink nurse keeps my tattoos looking smooth and fresh and i love the combination of jojoba oil mixed in with other natural ingredients.
