Today, we’re taking you on a small journey. Prepare a cup of tea, place your Vitium Tattoo Butter beside you so that we’re physically close too, and let’s share a little time together.
Vitium was born from a dream shared by two friends — Gabriele, a tattoo artist who understands every heartbeat behind ink, and Damiano, a designer driven by the beauty of detail. Together, they decided to create something pure and honest — a tattoo butter that truly respects skin, art, and nature.
Every drop of Vitium carries that friendship. Every jar is the result of months of testing, countless late-night discussions, and a simple idea: tattoo care deserves the same passion as tattoo creation.
The Morning It Became Real
The day production began felt surreal. We jumped out of bed at six in the morning. No alarms were needed — our excitement had been building for months.
When we arrived, the factory near Mount Etna stood silent for a moment, as if the volcano itself was holding its breath. Then the hum of machines began, and our dream started taking shape.
Mount Etna is the mother of rich soils and fragrant fruits. The air there carries warmth and quiet strength, the same energy we wanted to infuse into Vitium. It’s a place where tradition and craft coexist. Eight hours flew by as we observed the process — the blending of ingredients, the soft churn of butters melting together, and finally the moment each jar was filled, sealed, and labeled.
That day, Vitium became more than an idea. It became touchable.
The Factory by Mount Etna
Production happens in a small, family-run laboratory known for its ethical practices and sustainable sourcing. Every batch of Vitium is mixed and monitored by specialists who share our vision of clean beauty.
No shortcuts. No compromises. The team works with precision and patience, respecting the integrity of every ingredient. The aroma of natural oils fills the air — sweet, tropical, comforting. The smell alone tells you that what’s being made here isn’t ordinary.
Behind the stainless steel and controlled temperatures lies something more human: the care of hands, the pride of craftsmanship, and the belief that real quality starts with attention.
The Heart of Vitium: Ingredients and Intent
We believe simplicity is luxury. Vitium is made only with ingredients that serve the skin — each selected for its purpose, purity, and performance.
Shea Butter
At the core is Shea Butter, known for centuries for its deep hydration and protective properties. It forms the base of Vitium, delivering elasticity and softness while protecting new tattoos from dryness and irritation.
Mango and Cocoa Butters
Mango Butter provides light nourishment without greasiness, while Cocoa Butter adds richness and a natural barrier to retain moisture. Together, they create a balance that absorbs easily and leaves skin smooth to the touch.
Rice Bran and Sunflower Oils
Oryza sativa (Rice Bran Oil) brings antioxidants and vitamins that soothe inflamed skin. Sunflower Seed Oil locks in hydration and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier.
Botanical Extracts
Aloe Vera, Calendula, Chamomile, and St. John’s Wort work together to calm redness, promote healing, and reduce sensitivity. These extracts make Vitium gentle enough for fresh tattoos but effective enough for long-term tattoo care.
Natural Fragrance
The fragrance is where science meets art. We collaborated with Italian perfumers to create a natural scent of passion fruit and coconut — subtle, not overpowering. It’s there to remind you that tattoo care can feel sensual, not clinical.
Our Secret Ingredient: Attention
Every formula can be copied, but attention cannot. The way we handle each step, the discussions about texture, the testing until it feels right on real skin — that’s our secret.
We’re meticulous because we care. Every batch is tested for consistency, purity, and balance. We reject anything that doesn’t meet our standard.
That’s why Vitium feels different. It’s not only what’s inside the jar — it’s the intention that went into creating it.
Damiano and Gabriele
From Enthusiasts to Professionals
Vitium was made for tattoo lovers and artists alike.
-
For those who collect tattoos like chapters of their life, Vitium preserves every line and shade.
-
For professionals, it’s a reliable companion in the studio — soft, easy to spread, and safe for all skin types.
We designed it to protect, nourish, and enhance tattoo colors, keeping the ink vivid and the skin healthy from the first day to forever.
When professionals tell us they use it on clients because it feels “alive,” we know we’ve succeeded. Vitium becomes part of the art.
The Philosophy Behind the Product
We didn’t start Vitium to follow trends. We started it because we felt something was missing — honesty in aftercare.
Many tattoo products promise miracles but rely on harsh ingredients or artificial fragrances that harm sensitive skin. We wanted the opposite: something vegan, plant-based, eco-friendly, and proudly made in Italy with respect for the environment.
Vitium isn’t about mass production. It’s about mindful creation — a small-batch philosophy that values people over profit. Every purchase supports sustainable farming, ethical labor, and the preservation of artisanal manufacturing near Mount Etna.
We like to think of it as a rebellion — not loud or aggressive, but consistent and ethical.
Friendship: The Foundation of Vitium
Gabriele and Damiano met as teenagers. Years later, their shared passion for tattoos turned into a mission.
One of them knew the craft. The other understood the design. Together, they built the bridge between creativity and practicality. Every decision — from the logo to the jar to the marketing — was made side by side.
There were setbacks. Delays in sourcing. Nights spent reworking formulas. But friendship made the process resilient. The brand name Vitium, meaning “imperfection” in Latin, became symbolic — because true art, like friendship, lives through imperfection.
We’ve been betting on this project together from scratch, fully aware of the risks. But we’re betting consciously — on nature, sustainability, and quality.
Our Trump Cards
When people ask what makes Vitium special, we don’t give them marketing slogans. We give them four words:
-
Fragrance: a sensory experience that connects emotion and memory.
-
Quality: verified through consistency, safety, and transparency.
-
Passion: every batch made as if it were our first.
-
Friendship: the invisible thread that keeps it all authentic.
These aren’t buzzwords. They’re our compass.
Sustainability: More Than a Promise
Vitium lives inside a jar made from sugarcane-based bioplastic — renewable, recyclable, and kind to the planet.
We refuse to use petroleum-derived materials or overpackaged boxes. Our labels are printed with eco-friendly inks, and we minimize waste in every production cycle.
Caring for tattoos shouldn’t harm the environment. True beauty respects all layers — human and natural.
The Result: A Product With a Soul
The result of this journey is simple to describe yet profound to experience. Vitium Tattoo Butter is soft but protective, aromatic yet subtle, luxurious but honest.
It melts into the skin, restores balance, and leaves a delicate glow. Whether you’re healing a new tattoo or maintaining an old masterpiece, it becomes part of your ritual.
Users often tell us that it feels alive, that it doesn’t sit on the skin but merges with it — a reflection of our belief that skincare and art should be one.
Your Turn to Be Part of the Story
We are in every drop of Vitium — but now, we want you to be part of it too.
When you open the jar, you’re touching the result of years of friendship, dedication, and belief in doing things the right way.
If you’re a tattoo lover, try it. If you’re a professional, use it in your studio. Then tell us what you think. Share your story, your art, your skin. Vitium grows through community — through people who understand that tattoos are not decoration but identity.
Your feedback helps us refine and evolve. You’re not just a customer; you’re part of a movement that values authenticity and respect for the craft.
Looking Ahead: Towards the Next Production
We’re already preparing the next production near Mount Etna. Every new batch teaches us something. Each adjustment — whether to texture, packaging, or scent — comes from listening to you.
This is not industrial manufacturing. This is evolution through connection. Our dream continues to expand, powered by the same excitement that woke us up at six that morning.
Vitium started as a bet between friends. It has grown into a community built on shared values — artistry, sustainability, and care.
And so we say again: We are in every drop of Vitium.
Final Thoughts
Tattoo aftercare is often overlooked, but it’s where your tattoo’s life begins. We created Vitium to make that stage meaningful — a continuation of the art, not an afterthought.
From the slopes of Mount Etna to your hands, every jar carries our story, our commitment, and our belief in better care.
Take a moment, breathe in the scent, and feel the texture. That’s not just a product — that’s a dream realized.
