Rising Popularity of Tattoos in India
Tattoos are going mainstream in India, and this is facilitated by cultural transitions, celebrity trends, and trends of self-expression. The new generations, particularly millennials and Gen Z, have tattoos as an expression of self, thus a growing demand for aftercare. Tattoo parlors are increasing throughout urban and semi-urban territories, with higher standards of cleanliness. As more people get tattoos, the need for specialized aftercare products like balms, creams, and lotions has risen to ensure proper healing, prevent infections, and maintain tattoo vibrancy. This trend is further supported by the increasing acceptance of tattoos in workplaces and the growing tattoo culture in India, creating a positive India tattoo aftercare products market outlook. For instance, in March 2023, Aliens Tattoo in India, led by the famous tattoo artist Sunny Bhanushali, launched its first location in Calcutta on Purna Das Road last year and recently celebrated its first anniversary. Aliens Tattoo operates locations nationwide — in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and various other cities — and is among the top choices for getting tattooed. It will soon be opening its international branches in California and Germany.
Growing Awareness of Skincare and Hygiene
Consumers are increasingly aware of proper skincare routines post-tattooing to prevent infections, scarring, and fading. Dermatologists and tattoo artists emphasize the importance of moisturization, sun protection, and antibacterial care, driving demand for high-quality tattoo aftercare products. With growing concerns over skin sensitivity and allergies, tattoo enthusiasts prefer dermatologically tested, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic formulations, further fueling the India tattoo aftercare products market share. The focus on personal hygiene, especially post-pandemic, has further contributed to the adopting of specialized tattoo healing creams, antibacterial ointments, and soothing gels to ensure safe and effective tattoo healing while preventing irritation and skin damage. For instance, in March 2025, The Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) of Karnataka contacted the Drugs Controller General of India advocating for the establishment of regulations for tattoo ink. This occurred after approximately 22 heavy metals were detected in certain samples recently.
