EVERY ORDER SHIPS WITH FREE SECOND SKIN TATTOO PROTECTION
Other aftercare brands sell tattoo protective film (second skin) separately. We include it FREE in every order. Ink Nurse is the next generation in aftercare: we skip heavy wax and petroleum for a lightweight, non-greasy, petroleum-free routine made specifically for tattoos. No BS. No compromises.

FAQ
-
Both kits share the same Foam Nurse wash and the same free second skin film. The difference is the cream. This Healing Essentials Kit has 150mL of Remedy Cream (a 100mL jar plus a free 50mL), which is a complete routine for a fresh tattoo. The Mega Bundle steps up to 600mL of cream, including the 500mL pump, for heavily tattooed skin, ongoing collectors, or anyone who wants the best long-term value. Start here if you are healing a new piece. Size up to the Mega Bundle if you are in it for the long haul.
-
The kit includes a 100mL jar of Ink Nurse Remedy Cream plus a free 50mL travel tub, so 150mL of cream in total, a 200mL Foam Nurse Tattoo Soap Wash, and two 10cm squares of second skin protective film, included free. Everything you need for your tattoo aftercare routine in one box.
-
Cleanse gently with Foam Nurse and pat dry, then apply a thin layer of Remedy Cream. Use the second skin film to protect a fresh tattoo where needed. Always follow your artist's specific aftercare instructions. For a full aftercare walkthrough, see our Tattoo Care Bible.
-
The 150mL of cream, the 100mL jar plus the free 50mL, covers roughly 6 to 8 weeks of regular use, and the 200mL Foam Nurse wash lasts around 6 to 8 weeks. It is a complete routine to see a fresh tattoo through healing, with cream to spare for everyday skin afterwards.
