Our Symbol

The moth symbolises healing, transformation, and the beauty of life’s subtle transitions.
At Aftercare Collective, we honor what happens after the ink settles —
the quiet afterlife of a tattoo, where art meets healing, and care becomes part of the story.
Our botanical rituals are crafted to nourish this unseen stage —
protecting the skin, preserving the ink, and revering the sacred connection between body and art.
