Inked Abroad Artist Box

This exclusive collaboration was created with Dakota Weik, tattoo artist, tattoo ethnographer and founder of Inked Abroad. Dakota’s freehand work draws on the Art Nouveau movement of the early 1900s, and that same eye for craft shaped every part of this box.

Dakota and Dr Pickles joined forces in 2026, united by a shared passion for tattooing and a mission to support tattoo artists around the world. Inside, you’ll find Dr Pickles’ signature range of artist products, chosen to support you from setup through to aftercare. 

What’s Inside

Tattoo Glide | 150g (5.3 oz)
Our best seller

Tattoo Glide was developed with tattoo artist Elric Gordon to make the tattooing process smoother for artist and client alike. It’s a petroleum-jelly-free blend of paraffins, microcrystalline wax, dimethicone and isopropyl myristate, and it helps the needle glide cleanly across the skin for better precision and a more comfortable session.

Antibacterial Foam Wash | 200ml (6.8 fl oz)

An unscented foam wash for use before, during and after tattooing. Use it to remove stencils, cleanse the skin, and wipe away excess ink and fluids mid-session. Natural ingredients, including aloe, help calm redness, swelling and irritation and hydrate sensitive, freshly tattooed skin, especially in the first 48 hours.

How to use:

1. Pump the foam directly onto the skin.
2. Gently lather it over the area and leave it for a few seconds.
3. Wipe clean with a clean paper towel, then pat dry. Do not rinse with water. This wash is designed to be wiped off.
   

Second Skin Tattoo Film | 15cm x 10m (5.9 in x 32.8 ft)

A transparent, hypoallergenic adhesive film that protects fresh tattoos while they heal. It’s ultra-thin, waterproof and breathable, and it shields the tattoo from friction, dirt and moisture while letting the skin heal naturally. The snake-skin matte finish helps prevent lifting and catching and is nearly invisible once applied. Paraben-free and gentle on sensitive skin.

How to use:

1. Apply over the clean, dry tattoo straight after the session.
2. Wear for up to 24 hours for the first application.
3. To remove, take a warm shower to loosen the adhesive, then gently peel it back.
   

Original Tattoo Balm | 75g (2.6 oz)

Our signature aftercare balm, made in Brisbane, Australia, with fresh and fermented Australian pawpaw (papaya) and hydrating D-panthenol. It’s moisture-rich and helps reduce scabbing and skin dehydration while soothing newly tattooed skin. It lets skin breathe as it heals, and it contains no petroleum jelly or fillers. All-natural, cruelty-free and paraben-free.

How to use:

1. Start using it 48 hours after the tattoo.
2. Apply 2–3 times a day for the first 14 days, using just enough for a thin, shiny layer.
3. After 2 weeks, apply once a day or as needed for the next 2–4 weeks, until the tattoo is fully healed.

Dermal Soothe Gel | 75g (2.6 oz)

A lightweight cooling gel for tattoo recovery, laser aftercare, cosmetic tattoo recovery and everyday irritation. Aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber oil and Kakadu plum extract instantly hydrate and soothe stressed skin and take the sting out of a fresh tattoo or sun exposure. It’s non-sticky, absorbs fast, and gives quick relief.

How to use:

1. Apply a small amount to the skin and massage in gently.
2. On a new tattoo, use 2–3 times a day for the first 2 weeks.
3. After that, apply once a day or as needed until the tattoo is fully healed.
