Tattoo & Skin Care

Why does tattoo care come down to skin care?

Because the ink lives in your skin — when the skin dries out, the tattoo fades with it. Outlaws & Gents Tattoo & Skin Care is built around one multi-use hero: the Beard & Body Butter, a deep skin moisturizer formulated to hydrate, condition, and enhance the appearance of your tattoos. That ashy, washed-out look most ink picks up over the years usually isn't the tattoo failing — it's dehydrated skin sitting on top of it. Keep the skin conditioned and the lines read sharper and the color holds its vibrancy. New ink? Start with our tattoo aftercare guide — it covers the first 24 hours, week one, and the long-term maintenance this collection is built for.

What makes the Beard & Body Butter a tattoo butter?

The ingredient list does the work. Hemp seed butter brings omega fatty acids matched to the lipids in healthy human skin — barrier repair and tattoo enhancement from the same ingredient. Raw, unrefined shea butter carries vitamins A, E, and F (processing destroys them, which is why we don't refine it), and mango butter absorbs fast without grease. Underneath runs the same carrier trinity as our beard line — argan, sweet almond, and meadowfoam seed oil, the all-day workhorse that forms an invisible barrier and locks moisture in for hours. If you've been hunting for a tattoo balm that doesn't smell like a medicine cabinet, this is it — one jar that covers beard, skin, and ink, in three masculine fragrances: Bourbon & Sandalwood, Cedar & Leather, and Tobacco & Vanilla. All Lightly Scented by design, so it never fights your cologne.

Can you put these on a new tattoo?

No — and our own safety notice says it plainly: fully healed skin only. Never on scabs, peeling, or any broken skin. While a fresh tattoo heals, your artist's instructions outrank anything a grooming brand tells you — ours included. Where this collection earns its place is everything after: once the ink is fully healed, daily moisturizing is the entire long-term game, and the aftercare guide walks that whole timeline. One more piece of honesty: no moisturizer replaces sunscreen. Sun fade is the one thing conditioning can't fix, so cover exposed ink before long days outside.

What's the daily routine for tattooed skin?

Simple and fast. The Butter is firm in the jar by design — a vigorous palm-rub liquifies it in seconds. Work a thin layer over the ink daily; it's built for all-day wear, no reapplying. Beard Oil does the same skin-conditioning job in liquid form — three Lightly Scented signature scents — and Beard Balm covers the bearded territory with the same butters underneath. Building a fuller regimen? Our men's skin care routine guide is the no-BS place to start.

Everything here is made in the USA in small batches with globally sourced premium ingredients — skin conditioning first, scent second.

Inked with intent. Refined by choice.
