Dealer Program · For Tattoo Shops
Wholesale tattoo aftercare is the easiest cross-sell at the front desk. Tattoo shops carry InkLube to put a real product in their clients’ hands and book real margin doing it. Strong wholesale pricing, free aftercare cards in every shipment, and fast turnarounds — orders ship 3-5 business days after we run your card.
What you get
Standing wholesale pricing on every product, every order. Real margin you can build a front-desk program around. Specifics shared after approval.
Branded 3.5×2″ front-and-back cards in every shipment. Hand them to every client with their care instructions.
We pull, pack, and drop with USPS or UPS in 3-5 business days. Card on file, billed at order time. Tracking emailed.
Orders over $500 net ship free in the lower 48. Add a case of pumps, you’ll clear it in your sleep.
How it works
Tell us about your shop. We’re looking for licensed studios with at least one full-time artist. Approval typically lands in 48 hours.
On approval we send your wholesale price sheet and dealer login. Opening order is one case (12 units). After that, no minimums.
Log in any time to reorder at trade pricing, pull marketing assets (logos, photography, display cards), and view your order history.
The Terms
We treat shops the way we’d want to be treated by a vendor. No volume gates. No exclusivity. No 30-day “consideration” before approval. Just a clean trade account with terms you’d expect from a real wholesale relationship.
Why shops switch
No lanolin, no petroleum, no parfum. Made for tattooed skin, not bath shelves. Safe for clients with sensitivities.
Mixed and bottled in small batches in California. Lot numbers on every tube. Full COA available for distributors and shops on request.
Formulated with input from working tattooers. Real fresh ink on real arms — not just lab analogues.
Apply
Approval typically within 48 hours. We review every application personally and send your full price sheet on approval — you’ll hear back from a human, not an autoresponder.
Questions
Standard wholesale tier is shared in your approval email along with the full price sheet. Volume tiers available for high-velocity shops — ask in your application.
No. Carry whoever you want. We’d rather earn the shelf than lock it up.
We require dealers not to advertise InkLube below $14.99/4oz online. In-shop retail pricing is your call.
Yes — every approved dealer gets a sample case shipped before the opening order at no charge.
Why shops switch
Most shops still send clients out the door with a drugstore petroleum ointment, because that is what the aftercare card has said for twenty years. It is cheap, it is everywhere, and it occludes a fresh tattoo completely — which is exactly the wrong thing for skin that needs to breathe while it closes. When a heal goes badly, the client does not blame the ointment. They blame the artist.
InkLube is built to be the opposite recommendation: thirteen plant ingredients, no petrolatum, no lanolin, no fragrance, and a full ingredient list printed where the client can read it. It absorbs instead of sealing, so it works as a session glide and as aftercare from the same jar — one product on the bench instead of two. The FAQ covers how it behaves during a long sitting, and this breakdown explains why those three ingredients are out.
Wholesale tattoo aftercare only works as a program if the product earns repeat purchases, so we keep the front-desk side simple: strong standing pricing, printed care cards in every box, and no exclusivity clauses. If you want to read the regulatory background on tattoo inks and skin reactions before you stock anything, the FDA fact sheet on tattoos and permanent makeup is a reasonable place to start.
