Tattoo aftercare divides into three phases — first 24 hours, days 2–14 healing, and long-term ink maintenance. Most of the mistakes happen at the bookends.

The Outlaws & Gents Beard Body Butter is built specifically for phases two and three. Shea, mango, and hemp seed butters condition healing skin without occluding it, and the formulation enhances the appearance of healed ink color over time. Skip during the first 24 hours and active scab phases; use during the long-term maintenance window.
