Why Tattoo Artists Are Choosing Glide Over Petroleum
In the world of tattooing, the smallest details can make the biggest difference — not just in the art, but in the aftercare. For years, petroleum-based products have dominated the studio scene. But more and more artists are making the switch to natural alternatives that offer better performance, faster healing, and a cleaner experience for both artist and client.
Glacier-Glide was created to meet those exact needs.
Our balm is soft, silky, and melts instantly into the skin — making it perfect for wiping, shading, or long sessions. It doesn’t clog machines, doesn’t leave behind that sticky layer, and won’t smother the skin like petroleum jelly. The result? Easier cleanup, more control, and happier clients.
But performance is only part of the story.
What makes Glacier-Glide different is its soul.
Crafted in Iceland and inspired by glacial purity, each jar is made with skin-loving botanicals: grapeseed oil, and vitamin E and more calming oils. No filler. No parabens. Just clean, effective care that works from needle to healing.
Tattoo artists love how it soothes instantly, keeps the canvas calm, and enhances the vibrancy of freshly tattooed skin. And clients? They fall in love with the texture, the scent, and the results — often coming back asking for more.
Whether you're running a high-volume shop or a boutique studio, Glacier-Glide performs as hard as you do.
