The Ritual

The art doesn’t end when the needle stops.

A ritual created for both sides of the art.

Exceptional artistry deserves exceptional care.

House of Lacrimae Tattoo Glide & Recovery Balm was created with two experiences in mind: the artist bringing a vision to life and the individual who will carry that artwork forever.

From the creative process to the care that follows, every application should feel intentional.

One product. Two experiences. No compromise.

The artist’s ritual

Created for the hands that make the art.

The tools an artist chooses should complement their technique, never stand in its way.

Lacrimae was envisioned by a working tattoo artist who understood the importance of a glide that supports the tattooing process while delivering an elevated experience.

Designed to become part of the artist’s creative ritual, our Tattoo Glide & Recovery Balm brings artistry, intention, and luxury together.

The art of application

  1. 01

    Prepare with intention

    Begin with properly prepared skin and a clean, professional workspace. Using a single-use spatula, dispense a small amount of Lacrimae into a disposable container for the individual tattoo session.

  2. 02

    Experience the glide

    Apply a delicate, even layer to the skin as needed during tattooing. The rich, buttery texture softens upon contact, creating a smooth, moisture-rich surface designed to complement the artist’s technique.

  3. 03

    Create without compromise

    Enjoy a formula designed to maintain its consistency during handling while melting beautifully into the skin. Reapply sparingly as needed throughout the creative process.

  4. 04

    Honor the finished art

    At the completion of the session, follow your professional cleaning, dressing, and aftercare procedures. Discard unused product from the session and all single-use applicators.

Every movement intentional. Every detail considered. Every masterpiece deserving of luxury.

The client’s ritual

For the skin that carries the story.

Your tattoo is more than ink. It is an expression of who you are, where you’ve been, and the moments you choose to remember.

Caring for that artwork deserves the same intention that went into creating it.

Lacrimae brings a sense of luxury to the skin-care experience, transforming an everyday routine into a moment of self-care.

Your art. Your ritual.

Every tattoo is unique, and so is the care it deserves.

Always follow the personalized aftercare instructions provided by your professional tattoo artist.

Once appropriate for your skin, let Lacrimae become part of your care ritual, offering a rich, buttery experience enriched with nourishing oils, butters, Vitamin E, and ceramides.

Because the art you choose to carry deserves care as intentional as its creation.

The experience

The art of a perfect glide.

Buttery by nature. Intentional by design.

House of Lacrimae Tattoo Glide & Recovery Balm features a rich, buttery texture that melts into the skin upon application, creating a smooth, moisture-rich glide.

Unlike formulas that quickly soften on the glove, Lacrimae maintains its consistency during handling, giving artists greater control over their application.

A touch of indulgence

Delicately infused with a soft vanilla scent, Lacrimae brings subtle warmth to every application.

Its buttery consistency, delicate fragrance, and luxurious feel transform an everyday essential into an elevated experience.

Luxury you can feel. A difference you can appreciate.
