Because you just got a new tattoo or you’re about to get it! In this post we will provide you with a tattoo balm recipe that contains only natural ingredients to accelerate the healing process, nourishing and restoring your old tattoos. This tattoo balm is a simple recipe that thoroughly relieves dry skin and can be used where you need a little TLC.
I’m not a tattoo expert, but I have a few tattoos and couples I’ve done recently. In the typical Jenni Raincloud style, you personally come up with recipes. I use piercings/tattoo kicks (which could be a midlife crisis), so of course I need to share a new recipe for natural tattoo balm. A fresh tattoo leaves you sensitive skin and proper tattoo care is a must in a few weeks. Applying a thin layer of protective barriers will help maintain the vibrancy of your tattoo.
Using natural oils is a great way to take care of your ink. This is a very simple tattoo balm recipe. I thought about making a calendula-infused tattoo balm, but I decided that I needed a quick product and most people who are looking for a DIY tattoo balm probably too. However, infusing oil is very fun and relatively easy, and calendula has some amazing soothing properties. You can use oil in the top left, not to mention many different DIY recipes. Up to 1 teaspoon of sweet almond oil. Shea butter.
Why use tattoo balm?
Getting a tattoo leaves open wounds that need to heal. The aftermath of a tattoo can be uncomfortable to deal with. It uses nutritious anti-inflammatory balms that soothe itch, scabs, peeling, and even infections, to not only act as a barrier to protection, but also to quickly soothe the skin and promote healing. Tattoo balm is a must, trust me.
Why make your own tattoo balm:
I usually ask this question whenever I share recipes for products that are easy to buy rather than made. From my research, there are typical tattoo creams and balms, but you usually get a pretty clean and natural product.
I looked it up Mud Rabbit Products This is the most talked about tattoo aftercare company. They have great products in them Tattoo Balm This is similar to what we’re creating in this post. They have two versions of the balm. One uses essential oils and the other contains aroma. It is always best to avoid synthetic scents whenever possible. They do not show that their ingredients are organic. Their balm is $19 for 1.7 oz. This is semi-rational. This balm contains only vegan ingredients.
I also looked it up Badger tattoo balm. I love badger products, especially their cute cans, and have remade their sleeping balm in the past. It contains organic ingredients, and 2oz tin is only $10 and can be found on Amazon for a one-day shipping.
As you can see, there are many natural options, so this DIY is for us who really just want to do DIY. Whether or not you can easily buy something at an affordable price, I almost always prefer to make it myself. There’s something about making skin wellness products with your own hands at home.
Tattoo Aftercare Tips:
Whether it’s your first time or your 50th time, you need to take proper care of your tattoo to maintain the lifespan of your tattoo. It is important to take care of your tattoo. You need to remember that your new ink can be fragile and that your skin is an open wound and requires proper care.
- As long as your tattoo artist recommends, wear a tattoo and maintain your bandage. It’s so fascinating to tear it off as the new tattoo looks so good, but it can put you at risk of extra irritability, infection, and even ink discoloration.
- Do not reband your tattoo. You need to breathe.
- Don’t wear a tight fit over your new tattoo.
- Always use clean hands when touching tattoos.
- Clean your tattoo with a gentle cleanser that does not contain alcohol or harsh cleansing agents.
- It thoroughly moisturizing your new body art.
- Do not expose yourself to sunlight.
- Avoid water bodies for a few weeks after being tattooed.
- Do not choose light skin or scabs or resist the urge to itch!!
- Avoid hot showers, saunas and excessive sweating. These activities can open pores and may be leaking ink.

How to use:
For best results, use once a day in the first week after the tattoo. For ultimate skin nutrition, multiple daily uses are recommended. Apply a thin layer of tattoo balm for circular movements. If you store the balm in a jar and distribute it using your fingers, use clean hands.
Substitution of components:
To enjoy healing benefits, 100% unrefined coconut oil is needed. Coconut oil is incredibly healing. Although it is not as moisturizing as other oils, its healing properties are very effective.
Sita butter is a soft butter that can be replaced with cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is quite hard and the balm becomes hard, but that doesn’t affect the nutrition of the balm.
Beeswax is what solidifies the perfume, so some kind of wax is required. If you want to make a DIY vegan tattoo balm, you can replace the beeswax with a Candelilla Wax or Carnauba Wax. Note that vegan waxes make the balm a little harder than beeswax.
If you want to change the sweet almond oil, you can use olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, or rose hip seed oil. Carrier oils contain essential fatty acids that help replenish damaged skin.
Vitamin E is not essential, but it is a powerful antioxidant that helps you increase your nutrition and fight free radicals that damage your tattoo. It is recommended to keep the ratios the same, so add 2 teaspoons. Skip Vitamin E and you will find another oil. You can add sweet almonds or coconuts or other oils on hand.
I didn’t add any essential oils to this recipe, but you can add very small amounts to add aroma and soothing. Essential oils are also great for reducing inflammation. If you want to add essential oils, we recommend adding 5 drops of lavender oil and/or frankincense oil. Avoid citrus oils.
Clean materials can go a long way when it comes to growing fresh tattoos. Whether it’s your first tattoo or you’re a tattoo pro, tattoo balm is 100% essential. This balm works fantastically even with old tattoos, bringing them a bit of life and vibrancy of colour back. My simple recipe offers incredible natural products that don’t need to isolate them for use in tattoos. It can also be used anywhere your skin needs a moisture boost.
I hope you enjoyed this simple DIY tattoo balm recipe. If you’re interested, you can see the two stars you’ve got on the wrists representing their two daughters. I also had a small butterfly on my other wrist and a heart on my ring finger. It is very true that it is said about what addictive tattoos will look like. There’s a little more list! I’m definitely ready with lots of tattoo balms!
