Q: I saw an answer to another question that said it’s safe for men and women. Why then only market to men? Honestly comes across sexist.

submitted by BM - 1 year ago

  • A: While marketed to men, the products are suitable for anyone looking for high-quality skincare for tattoos, regardless of gender.

Q: Would you be able to use this as just a regular balm for dry skin not necessarily for tattoos. It seems like it would work really well! We love all your products so far!

submitted by Mags - 1 year ago

  • A: Thank you for your feedback - we are always excited to hear from our consumers. While Papatui Enhancing Tattoo Balm was developed to provide immediate hydration & vibrancy to ink, it is also great to use on skin that could use moisture!

submitted by Kyle - 2 years ago

    It feels nice when you are putting the product on but what I did not like about it that it dries in seconds. Compared to other balms my tat stays shiny for a while. I have it on for maybe 10 minutes before it stops being vibrant. The product stick to clothes, bags if you use hand purses, you name it, so you kinda have to walk around with your arm out for a bit until it wares off. It does have a funny smell to it that reminds me of butter for some reason, but it isnt a bad chemical smell. After all it feels nice but i wouldnt be buying this again.

    I like this a lot.

    I really like this. It’s easy to apply as well. I just wish it had a fresher sent. The fragrant free still has a weird smell.

    No good.

    Greasy. It does transfer to clothing. Does not let your skin breath.

    Not a product issue but a curbside problem

    Picked this up curbside and the packaging was ripped up and crushed like it have been opened or thrown around.

    Product is thick and heavy, a little gloppy. A light scent wouldn't hurt.

    Brings out the colors

    This product does exactly as it states. It definitely rejuvenates the tattoos and brings out the contrast. A little wax feeling but that is to be expected.
