Successful applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview. We can’t wait to meet you and share art together!

  • This collection was formulated with love and attention, right here on Vancouver Island!

    In collaboration with herbalist and nutritionist Nicolina Kolster, owner of Matka Botanicals, this collection was designed with healing tattoos in mind.

    Safe for all skin types, our aftercare is a great addition to your skin healing regime!

  • Each ingredient in our collection is targeted to soothe your healing skin. Designed to help your skin feel hydrated and easily repair, keeping the ink where we want it!

    Some ingredients you will find in our products may include, shea butter, calendula oil, coconut oil, to name a few.

    Both our aftercare balm and soap are unscented. This is to avoid allergens or any potential reactions to your fresh tattoo.

  • Step 1:

    • Unscented Herbal Tattoo Soap

    Directions: Rinse the skin and the soap bar in warm water. Rub the bar in your hands until it becomes soapy. Gently, using your soapy clean hand, wash the freshly tattooed area. Pat dry once all soap is rinsed off.

    Step 2:

    • Unscented Herbal Tattoo Balm

    Directions: Apply to your tattoo twice daily after freshly cleaned with unscented soap. Be sure to not over moisturize to allow the skin to create and seal the ink scab.

    For more details on our aftercare protocol please contact your tattoo artist directly.
