AfterArt is a tattoo aftercare and preparation brand based in Orewa, on Lakeside Drive, whose products are stocked by tattoo studios. The range includes a Manuka aftercare cream, a water-based healing balm for sensitive skin, a HEMP range, a preparation product that clears dry skin before tattooing, and a glide that artists use while working. The website describes the products as all-natural, vegan and cruelty-free, and says the Manuka cream has been New Zealand's top aftercare since 2017.
Customers mention tattoo aftercare most often. Reviewers say the cream helped a tattoo heal well, without itching or dryness, and kept redness down. One studio says it has stocked AfterArt since 2023, and the glide is useful during tattooing. Others say the products sell out quickly. The website offers free shipping on orders over $300, and asks people to send their details through its form, with a reply within 24 hours. Our pick in Orewa for a Manuka aftercare cream.
