TWO SIDES OF THE CHAIR.
Built by the client and the artist. Two people who kept seeing the same problem from opposite ends.
FIFTEEN YEARS, ONE RECOMMENDATION
Pszemek has been tattooing for fifteen
years, and he's recommended the same aftercare. Not because it was good - because it was what there was.
Clients came back with complaints. Too heavy. Too greasy.
THE CLIENT WHO KNEW BETTER
Then David sat in his chair. He used the same aftercare everyone else did and knew exactly how much better it could be.
He'd spent three years in Korean skincare, where formulation innovation moves
fastest — and tattoo aftercare hadn't moved in decades.
THE WORK, AND ITS KEEPING
THE HARD VERSION OF EASY
A gel this light is far harder to make than a balm — grease is the easy answer, which is why the category settled on it.
Version after version, tested on healing tattoos in the studio, until one came back with a different response entirely: clients asking for more.
THE WORK, AND ITS KEEPING
TODAY
Fifteen years in the chair and three years in formulation, spent on one product instead of a range.
We're not building a category.
We're redefining the one that stopped trying.
One tube at a time.
THE WORK, AND ITS KEEPING
“A tattoo chosen with intention should not be compromised by an inadequate care experience.”
David — Founder, Inkform
The category was heavy In every sense.
Looking closer, the problem wasn’t one bad product — it was a category that had stopped trying. Heavy balms. Greasy textures. Vague routines. Packaging that treated tattooed skin as an afterthought.
People who plan a piece for months were being told, in effect, that any grease would do. David’s conclusion was simple: aftercare should be chosen the way the tattoo was — deliberately.
Built slowly,
on purpose
The answer took the form of a lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-occlusive gel — the opposite of the category’s reflexes — developed with formulation labs in Korea, where skincare discipline runs deepest.
Its signature active, sturgeon extract, was
chosen the same way everything else was: on merit. Rich in collagen, amino acids and antioxidants, refined by years of Korean skincare development — a grounded ingredient for a grounded product. Dermatologically tested. Suitable for sensitive skin. Suitable for fresh and healed tattoos alike.
Three duties
Protect the art
The work on your skin took skill, hours and intent. Its care should be equal to it.
Respect the skin
Skin does the healing, our job is to support that. Nothing heavier than the job requires.
Raise the standard
No miracle language, no vague promises. Just what it is and what it does.
Care for ink. Preserve the story.
The product this story became — Tattoo Care Gel with sturgeon extract. 50ml, made in Korea.
