The original
since 2009
Tattoo Crème Original started as a fix for a problem in our own studio. Fifteen years later it is a brand artists across Europe choose on purpose, still made in-house.

One workbench, one formula
01 · Timeline
Fifteen years
in five moments
2009
The first batch
A few artists in Rotterdam mix their own crème, because nothing on the market lasts a full workday.
2012
From colleague to customer
Studios in the region start asking for it. The first jars go out without a single ad.
2016
Own production
Production moves to our own line in the EU, with every batch checked.
2021
Across Europe
Tattoo Crème Original is in studios from Lisbon to Copenhagen.
2026
Still the same formula
New sizes and our own shop, but the crème itself has not changed.
02 · How we work
Three things we never change
01
Own production
Made in the EU, in-house. Every batch is checked before it leaves.
02
One formula
No seasonal versions or new formulas to make the news. What works stays the way it is.
03
Direct to the studio
No middlemen or grey imports. You order directly from the brand, on fixed terms.
03 · The name
Why Original
After us came many products with a similar name and packaging. Original is not a marketing word, it is the difference: this is the crème it all started with, still made by the same people.
