Celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang has recently launched a new line of luxury tattoo aftercare products called Forever Care. Bang Bang, also known as Keith McCurdy, spent over a decade developing the three-piece system. The products are now available for purchase both at his New York studio and online. A portion of the sales from Forever Care will be donated to Camp Wonder, an organization that supports children with skin diseases.

Forever Care consists of three products: Hydrating Balm, Clarifying Lotion, and Body Bar, each designed to help heal tattoos while being gentle on sensitive skin. The sleek and stylish packaging reflects the Bang Bang brand aesthetic. These products have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their effectiveness in aiding the healing process of fresh tattoos.
To put the products to the test, PEOPLE’s senior style editor visited Bang Bang’s studio in New York to receive a new tattoo. The tattoo artist Michelle Santana, known for tattooing celebrities like Miley Cyrus, inked a small crown on the editor’s arm using Forever Care products for aftercare. The Hydrating Balm, made with charcoal, is recommended for use multiple times a day on a fresh tattoo to aid in healing. The Clarifying Lotion, fragrance-free and unscented, can be used for up to a month post-tattoo. The Body Bar, also charcoal-based, is gentle enough to cleanse delicate tattooed skin.
Bang Bang designed the Hydrating Balm to simplify the aftercare process for healing tattoos, making it easy to apply without any greasy or heavy feeling. The editor found the product to be convenient and effective in promoting seamless healing. The lightweight Clarifying Lotion was gentle on the skin, providing a breathable layer over the tattoo without feeling suffocating. The Body Bar, although typically not a fan of bar soaps, felt clean and non-drying, making the cleansing process enjoyable.
Bang Bang’s chief operating officer, Bella Carino, highlighted the sustainability and charity aspects of Forever Care. The packaging incorporates recycled materials, with plans for future recyclability. Additionally, a portion of the sales from Forever Care will support Camp Wonder, an organization aiding children with skin diseases. This partnership aims to provide assistance to children and families managing the challenges of skin conditions.
Forever Care is now available for purchase at Bang Bang’s New York location and online, offering a luxurious and effective solution for tattoo aftercare. The products have received positive feedback for their healing properties and skin-friendly ingredients. Bang Bang’s dedication to quality and giving back to the community through charitable initiatives sets Forever Care apart as a socially conscious brand in the tattoo industry.
In conclusion, Bang Bang’s Forever Care line represents a milestone in the world of tattoo aftercare, combining luxury and efficacy with a commitment to sustainability and philanthropy. Customers can now experience the benefits of these premium products to enhance their tattoo healing process while supporting a worthy cause. Bang Bang continues to innovate and inspire in the field of tattoo artistry, paving the way for a new standard of care for tattoo enthusiasts worldwide.
