Product Development

Kimberly Rowan and Mike Stander began a working relationship to develop natural aftercare products for tattoos and for piercings. With years of combined experience in medicinal products and the body art industry, it was concluded that our aftercare products needed to be natural and very effective. Piercing shops needed an aftercare product strictly for body piercing and tattoo shops needed tattoo aftercare that was could be used during the tattoo procedure and after for routine. We manufactured a product that is a potent anti-microbial, yet smooth and soothing in texture to provide instant relief from pain and inflammation. It was with great intention that we set out to produce a routine aftercare product that would prevent infections and give the client a much more comfortable healing experience. We hope you will find it is the relief that you long for on a new tattoo, the soothing you hoped for when healing a tattoo and the comfortable healing and recovery you need with your new piercing.
