Frequently Asked Questions

What is Proper?

Proper offers a premium line of products designed to support tattoo collectors and artists in keeping their ink looking its best. Our range focuses on essential tattoo care needs: calming irritated skin, aiding the healing process, cleansing effectively, and maintaining or rejuvenating the brilliance of both fresh and older tattoos. Proper’s collection includes an Aftercare Kit for Collectors and Glide for Artists.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing from a tattoo takes time and varies from person to person. Tattooing, though an art form, causes stress to the skin that needs careful attention. While surface healing happens within 7 days with Proper! Apply Proper throughout the day, keep the skin moisturized, and the formula will do the rest. Proper Balm, a natural and organic product, supports the skin’s recovery, while Proper Foam Soap helps safeguard against infection especially during those vulnerable early stages.

What ingredients does Proper use?

Proper’s tattoo aftercare products are made with certified organic ingredients, including beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and lavender oil. These tried and tested natural ingredients work together to soothe, moisturize, and protect your skin while promoting healing.

Do tattoo artists use Proper as glide?

Tattoo artists love using Proper's formula during tattooing because its smooth texture makes it easy to apply, helping reduce redness and inflammation as they work. The same formula is also ideal for clients to use afterward, promoting fast healing and keeping their new tattoo looking vibrant.
