Viking RevolutionTattoo Care Balm for Before, During & Post Tattoo Safe, Natural Tattoo Aftercare Cream Moisturizing Lotion to Promote Skin Moisture, Skin Moisturizer, (2oz,1 Pack)

I just got my 9th tattoo done about 5 days ago and didn’t want to spend almost $15 on Aquaphor. I searched for tattoo balms here on amazon and came across a few products, this one included. I’ve never heard of this product before but the reviews were great and the price per ounce was excellent, especially compared to the well known tattoo products.I received this product on January 20, 2020. It came in a cool box and the product itself it in a round tin container with nice graphics on it. I opened the tin and tried the balm on my new tattoo, which is dry and scaly at this point of the healing process. There is hardly any scent at all and the consistency is silky smooth. It made my tattoo feel immediately less irritated as well as soothed. The dryness was gone and it felt amazing.I’ve been using it for only 3 days and it works so well that I also started using it on my dry hands! The winter weather makes my hands dry and rough and this product softened it. I also use it as a cuticle balm for my fingernail cuticles that also get dry in the winter and lead to hangnails that are painful. This product softened them as well!! Not only is my tattoo healing better (see pic), but my hands and cuticles are softer!I highly recommend this dual purpose tattoo balm. It’s an amazing product and the value is excellent. I like it better than aquaphor and A & D ointment , which I normally use for my tattoos during healing. It’s cheaper and works so much better.I’m so glad I came across this product. Thanks for making this!!

Best tattoo balm I've used. The tattoo I've used it on seem to heal faster and look more vibrant after healed.

I’ve got a few tattoos. I recently spent a day getting quite a bit of work done to finish my sleeve. I actually had to travel out of state to see my artist after he moved, and I didn’t think to bring anything with me after the session other than the traditional Aquafor.A couple of the new tattoos ended up being pretty dry. Colorado is a semi-desert and it’s been nothing but fires this summer. I can’t remember the last time it rained... needless to say, my skin was incredibly dry. Aquafor is petroleum-based and seems to sit on the surface of my skin and just makes things greasy.I decided to try out several different products to see how well my skin and new ink responded. Of all of these, the Viking Revolution was by far my favorite. I’ve used their beard oil before and I like that product too.Compared to the other products, the Viking Revolution1. Goes on really smoothly2. Is hydrating and moisturizing3. Has a light and pleasant smellI compared this product to Tattoo Goo and Mad Rabbit Tattoo Aid. I’d say that this product is very similar to Tattoo Goo. In comparison to Mad Rabbit, this product doesn’t last as long and doesn’t penetrate as well, however it is much smoother and smells much much better.I plan on using this product to hydrate my tattoos in the future. I really like how well it works and smells and it is easy enough to keep on my bedside table or pack on a flight.

Absolutely love this stuff. The only reason it isn't a 5 star is because who in the everloving FRICK decided to change the canister it comes in???? It used to be a really nice size almost an inch tall, easy to grip and twist open. Now they send it in one that's flat as a freaking pancake and SO hard to open. Good luck trying to grip the sides to perform any kind of twist to get it the damn thing to open. Which is increasingly frustrating if you have a dry tattoo demanding more balm and you are sweating and cursing trying to pry this open like a stubborn oyster.I am a return customer and will continue to be a return customer.....but like damn guys, don't make it this hard.

I absolutely love this skin conditioner for tattoos ❣️

This stuff is great. It smells good, goes on easy, doesn’t feel greasy, brightens and helps moisturize new and old tattoos, absorbs fast and lasts all day…..it’s amazing stuff. Oh and it won’t clog your pores and allows new tattoos to breathe. Buy it.

Not greasy and a little goes a long way.

The actual cream melts right into your skin and absorbs great. But the tin is this and ridiculously hard to open. I ended up having to bend the lid so I could get it open.
