CLEANER - LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND

DRY WIPES

Cleaner. Softer. Built for Artists.

The Proper Dry Wipes are the artist’s upgrade to traditional paper towels — stronger, softer, and made for tattooing. Designed for professional use, these ultra-absorbent wipes handle every pass with precision, removing excess ink and plasma without sticking or irritating freshly tattooed skin.

Lint-free and durable even when wet, they deliver a smooth, efficient workflow and a cleaner finish from stencil to final wipe. Once you switch to Proper, you’ll never go back to paper towels.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Softer on skin, tougher on ink residue

  • Lint-free and ultra-absorbent

  • Reduces irritation and redness

  • Perfect for studio and convention use

Professional-grade quality — made by artists, for artists.
