FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions about our complete care tattoo bundle box kits below.

  • Both kits share the same Foam Nurse wash and the same free second skin film. The difference is the cream. This Healing Essentials Kit has 150mL of Remedy Cream (a 100mL jar plus a free 50mL), which is a complete routine for a fresh tattoo. The Mega Bundle steps up to 600mL of cream, including the 500mL pump, for heavily tattooed skin, ongoing collectors, or anyone who wants the best long-term value. Start here if you are healing a new piece. Size up to the Mega Bundle if you are in it for the long haul.

  • The kit includes a 100mL jar of Ink Nurse Remedy Cream plus a free 50mL travel tub, so 150mL of cream in total, a 200mL Foam Nurse Tattoo Soap Wash, and two 10cm squares of second skin protective film, included free. Everything you need for your tattoo aftercare routine in one box.

  • Cleanse gently with Foam Nurse and pat dry, then apply a thin layer of Remedy Cream. Use the second skin film to protect a fresh tattoo where needed. Always follow your artist's specific aftercare instructions. For a full aftercare walkthrough, see our Tattoo Care Bible.

  • The 150mL of cream, the 100mL jar plus the free 50mL, covers roughly 6 to 8 weeks of regular use, and the 200mL Foam Nurse wash lasts around 6 to 8 weeks. It is a complete routine to see a fresh tattoo through healing, with cream to spare for everyday skin afterwards.

  • Yes. Ink Nurse is petroleum-free and heavy wax-free, made as a lightweight, non-greasy alternative instead of the heavy, petroleum-based ointments some people grew up using. It is a modern, everyday routine made specifically for tattoos.

  • Yes. Ink Nurse is vegan and holds cruelty-free certification with PETA and Leaping Bunny. It is also certified Australian Made and made by cosmetic chemists in Melbourne.

  • Ink Nurse is a gentle, lightweight formula with no added fragrance. As with any product, patch-test first if you have known sensitivities, and follow your artist's advice.

  • Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched same day through our fulfilment partner. Delivery time from there depends on your location and the courier.

  • Ink Nurse is stocked in over 600 Chemist Warehouse stores across Australia and all your good local tattoo studios (if they don't stock us, ask them to). Bundles and value packs like the Healing Essentials Kit are exclusive to ink-nurse.com.

  • Bought separately, the Remedy Cream 100mL ($39.99), Foam Nurse wash ($39.99) and 50mL travel tub ($29.99) come to about $110 on their own, and the two second skin film squares are included free on top. You get the complete routine for $84.99, which is where the over $120 of value comes from.

EVERY ORDER SHIPS WITH FREE SECOND SKIN TATTOO PROTECTION

Other aftercare brands sell tattoo protective film (second skin) separately. We include it FREE in every order. Ink Nurse is the next generation in aftercare: we skip heavy wax and petroleum for a lightweight, non-greasy, petroleum-free routine made specifically for tattoos. No BS. No compromises.
