When should I start using Line Work?

Use Line Work for your first wash after your artist's wrap comes off, usually anywhere from 2 to 24 hours after the session, depending on their wrap method. Wash twice a day from then on, every day, for the first two weeks. After that, keep going as part of your routine if you want.

Will this sting on a fresh tattoo?

Line Work is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and pH-balanced for fresh tattoos, the three biggest causes of stinging are gone from the formula. A brief tingle on raw ink can happen; that's the wound, not the wash. If it stings sharply or burns, rinse straight away and check with your artist.

How is this different from a regular body wash?

Regular body wash is built for armpits and dirt, not fresh ink. Line Work uses a coconut-derived gentle cleanser that lifts plasma and excess ink without stripping the skin, then backs it with glycerin, aloe and allantoin to keep skin calm and comfortable.

Will it dry out my skin?

No. Line Work contains glycerin specifically to counteract the tight, dry feeling generic cleansers leave behind. Rinse, pat dry, and follow with Stand Fast Cream through the first couple of weeks for full moisture support.

How long does one bottle last?

A 125ml bottle lasts roughly 6 to 10 weeks with twice-daily use across a medium-sized tattoo (forearm-scale). Larger pieces use more per wash. A coin-sized amount is plenty per application.

— About LINE WORK —

"Where every Ritual begins."

Line Work is a gentle wash built for fresh ink. It lifts away plasma, excess ink and the grime of the day without stripping the skin underneath. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, soap-free, fast-rinsing. Made specifically for what tattooed skin needs from day one.

Made in Australia in a TGA-registered facility. A wash designed around fresh ink, not a body wash or a green soap doing a job it was never built for. It cleans, rinses without residue, and leaves nothing behind for new skin to fight against. Glycerin and aloe do the quiet work, so you can wash twice a day without that tight, dry, stripped feeling cheaper washes leave behind.

This is the bottle that lives by the shower. Twice a day, every day, for the first two weeks after the chair. The first wash sets the standard for everything that follows. Start it right here, or live with the difference.

How to use

i.

Lather Up

Pump a coin-sized amount onto wet fingertips or direct to your tattoo. Work into a soft lather with lukewarm water - never hot, never with a washcloth.

ii.

Wash Gentle

Apply with clean fingertips in light circular motions. Lift away plasma and excess ink - no scrubbing, no nail. Rinse until the water runs clean.

iii.

Repeat daily

Pat dry with a clean towel or air dry for five minutes - never rub. Wash twice a day for the first two weeks, then keep going as part of your routine.

Aloe Vera

A botanical prized for its cooling, soothing feel. Calms and comforts fresh ink from the very first wash.

Allantoin

Soothes and conditions. Keeps freshly-washed skin calm and comfortable from day one.

Coconut Cleanser

Plant-derived gentle surfactant. Lifts plasma and excess ink without stripping the skin underneath.

Glycerin

Humectant that pulls moisture back into freshly-washed skin. Stops the tight, dry feeling generic soaps leave behind.
