Our Story
Created by Tattoo Artists,
For Tattoo Collectors
Tattoo aftercare developed by working tattoo artists in Vancouver.
Tattoo Artists from Vancouver
Meet Marcus (Horiryu II) and Shiyu
After years of tattooing, we kept hearing the same thing from clients: their tattooed skin felt dry, tight and itchy, and they wanted something that felt good to put on.
So we developed Lucky Paw Tattoo Cooling Balm. Menthol gives it a minty cooling sensation, and avocado, macadamia and coconut oils with shea and cacao butters moisturize dry tattooed skin. It's the balm we wanted to hand our own clients.
It's vegan, made in Canada, and comes with clear directions: let a new tattoo dry heal for the first few days, start once the skin has closed, and never use it on open skin.
Our Mission
Tattoos are an investment — in art, in yourself, and in your story. We're here to help you care for that art with tattoo aftercare developed by tattoo artists.
What Sets Lucky Paw Apart
-
Artist-Developed
Developed by working tattoo artists who understand the aftercare process firsthand.
-
Vegan & Cruelty-Free
Made with plant oils and butters. No animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing.
-
Balm Texture
Plant oils and butters in a balm that spreads thin. A small amount covers a large area.
-
Minty Cooling Sensation
Menthol gives a minty cooling sensation, and the oils and butters moisturize dry skin, which can help with itch caused by dryness.
What Our Clients Say
What tattoo collectors tell us
“Hands down the best tattoo aftercare I've ever used.”
“Best aftercare I've used so far. Cooling, lightweight, and super effective.”
“Surprised by how much better this feels than what I was using. Absorbs fast and doesn't leave that shiny layer on the skin.”
