— About Hold Fast —

"The difference between fading and staying bold."

Hold Fast is the concentrated balm that finishes the ritual - locks in colour, feeds healed skin, and keeps every line bold through every workout, every wash, every season.

Made in Perth in a TGA-registered facility. Formulated specifically for tattooed skin, not borrowed from the body lotion aisle. Sits clean. Spreads thin. Feeds deep.

This is the jar that lives in your studio bag — ready for whatever your artist has planned next, and there for every healed piece long after.

How to use

i.

Clean First

If a new tattoo, wash the area with Line Work Gentle Wash. Pat dry with a clean towel. Wait until skin is fully dry before applying balm.
For older work, no need to wash first

ii.

Apply

Scoop a pea-sized amount. Warm between fingertips. Spread a thin, even layer across the tattoo - less is more.

iii.

Repeat daily

Apply daily throughout the day as needed to protect your ink and keep your tattoo looking bold.

Things people actually ask

  • Hold Fast is fragrance-free and made without parabens, petroleum, or fillers — the four most common irritants in skincare. We've tested it across all skin types. If you have a known reaction to beeswax or shea butter, check the ingredient list before buying.
  • Yes - that's exactly what it's for. Hold Fast is designed for late-stage healing through long-term ongoing care. Use it daily on healed work to keep colour vibrant and lines crisp.
  • A 100ml jar lasts roughly 8–12 weeks with daily use across a medium-sized tattoo (forearm-scale). Sleeves and larger pieces will burn through it faster. Less is more - a pea-sized amount goes a long way.
  • Yes. Hold Fast is formulated to work alongside Line Work Wash and Stand Fast Cream as part of The Ritual, but it doesn't conflict with any other aftercare you might already use. Just don't apply it on top of fresh ointments — wait for the previous product to absorb first.
  • Orders placed are shipped next business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days across Australia.
  • Tell us within 30 days and we'll make it right - refund, replacement, or credit. No need to send anything back. We back the formulas. You will too.
