Our story

Skin Reserve was built by the team behind American Tattoo Society, the first tattoo studio group operating on U.S. military bases. We formulated the products our own artists kept reaching for, then put them on our own counters first.

about skin reserve tattoo aftercare

Tested in the field.

Our studios sit outside of five installations, Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune, Fort Bliss, Fort Drum and Naval Station Norfolk. The clients who walk in train hard, deploy, and don’t baby their skin. Aftercare that survives that routine is aftercare that works. Every formula was refined against real healing outcomes in our own chairs, not focus groups. When something didn’t hold up, it went back to the bench.
