Why Use Vaseline When Getting a Tattoo

Vaseline is the oldest and most time-tested lubricant and protective agent in tattooing. During the session, it keeps the skin supple, reduces needle friction, and allows excess ink to be gently wiped away without smudging the lines. Vaselinum has a thick, buttery consistency that allows for clean application without spilling.

The Four Varieties

The difference between the variants lies in their additives; the base is the same high-quality petroleum jelly for all of them.

• Neutrum: pure white petroleum jelly without additives. The neutral all-rounder for keeping the skin supple and removing excess ink; can also be used as a simple aftercare product.
• Aloe: with aloe vera and bergamot extract. Moisturizes, makes the skin more elastic, and prevents dryness—for use during the session and as aftercare.
• Calendula: with calendula extract. Traditionally valued for stressed skin, it is said to prevent irritation and support regeneration; well-suited for aftercare of fresh tattoos.
• Eucalyptus: with eucalyptus oil. Feels cooling during the tattooing process, keeps the skin supple, and protects against irritation and dryness.

Pharmacy-Grade Quality as a Selling Point

What sets Vaselinum apart from any ordinary tins of petroleum jelly is its quality standard: it meets pharmaceutical quality standards according to DAB. For you, this means a defined, consistent base for a product that goes directly on freshly tattooed skin. All variants are vegan, and the additives are plant-based.

Application

Apply a small amount to the skin and spread it thinly. Use it during tattooing as a lubricant and to wipe away excess ink, and afterward to care for the stressed skin. Close the jar tightly after use.

Hygiene Tip from the Field

Vaselinum comes in a jar. If you scoop it out with a glove multiple times throughout the day, this is the classic route for cross-contamination. Therefore, always use a disposable wooden spatula to scoop it out instead of reaching into the jar with your finger. For single-use applications on clients, Vaselinum is also available in individual sachets.
