Questions

FAQ.

What’s the wholesale price?

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.

Do you do exclusivity?

No. Carry whoever you want. We’d rather earn the shelf than lock it up.

What’s your MAP policy?

We require dealers not to advertise InkLube below $14.99/4oz online. In-shop retail pricing is your call.

Can I get samples first?

Yes — every approved dealer gets a sample case shipped before the opening order at no charge.

Why shops switch

A better jar to hand across the counter.

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.
