SKINGRAPHICA: A New Era in Tattoo Skincare
In a remarkable move that combines art and dermatology, SKINGRAPHICA has launched the world's first luxury skincare line specifically tailored for tattooed skin. Founded by renowned skin artist Mikael Ramgard alongside marketing expert Mat Baxter, this Australian brand is poised to change the landscape of tattoo aftercare products forever.
The need for specialized skincare in the tattoo industry has grown alongside its popularity, with almost 6.6 million Australians having at least one tattoo. However, traditional skincare products often neglect the unique needs of tattooed skin, which can have different structural and pigmentation characteristics compared to non-tattooed skin. This is where SKINGRAPHICA steps in with its breakthrough formulations.
Innovative Formulations Driven by Science
At the heart of SKINGRAPHICA's product line is a suite of groundbreaking formulas developed using a proprietary AI-driven engine. This advanced technology synthesizes knowledge from skin science and biochemistry while considering the behavior of tattoo ink. The result is a line that includes the world's first tattoo restoration cream named
LUME, designed to enhance and maintain the vibrancy of tattoos over time.
Unlike conventional skincare that often contains harsh chemicals that can fade or distort ink, SKINGRAPHICA's products are designed with
Ink-Safe™ Biochemistry. This approach mitigates the use of strong resurfacing acids, potent retinoids, and aggressive exfoliants, which can thin the skin and compromise tattoo pigment.
Core Products Tailored for Tattoo Care
SKINGRAPHICA's range covers every stage of a tattoo's life cycle:
- - PRIME ($254AUD / $165USD for 30ml): A lightweight serum enriched with ceramides and panthenol, PRIME prepares and protects the skin before tattooing.
- - LOCK ($276AUD / $179USD for 50ml): This cream supports freshly inked skin by locking in pigment and restoring skin barrier lipids, making it less uncomfortable with soothing ingredients like Centella and Squalane.
- - SHIELD ($239AUD / $155USD for 50ml): A daily moisturizer that employs the TattooGuard™ UV protection system to shield tattoos from harmful UV rays, blue light, and environmental pollution, thus slowing down pigment fading.
- - LUME ($386AUD / $255USD for 30ml or $530AUD / $385USD for 50ml): This groundbreaking product reduces the appearance of fine lines while nourishing the skin with gentle renewals, making it particularly effective for tattoos over five years old, enhancing their vibrancy.
Meeting an Unmet Demand
SKINGRAPHICA fills a significant gap in the beauty market, particularly among the Gen Z demographic, of whom nearly 39% sport tattoos. With its direct-to-consumer model, the brand is set to distribute its products to over 50 countries starting from October 1, 2025. By expertly blending art and science, SKINGRAPHICA caters to a much-needed niche that has been overlooked by major beauty retailers, making it a go-to brand for tattoo enthusiasts.
As the tattoo industry continues to flourish, SKINGRAPHICA is not merely a skincare brand; it represents a cultural shift in how we care for our skin while celebrating the art of tattooing. By prioritizing the specific needs of tattooed skin without compromising on luxury, SKINGRAPHICA is rewriting the rules for skincare in the multi-billion dollar tattoo industry. Get ready to experience a new standard in tattoo aftercare that celebrates both art and self-expression.
