Tattoo Balm

My tattoo balm is like magic! It is protective to the skin and will promote natural healing! The magic part of my tattoo balm recipe is from the herbal infused oils that I use to craft the balm. You can make the herbal infused oils yourself, but I highly suggest you go ahead and purchase them from Mountain Rose Herbs. While you are there, go ahead and purchase the beeswax and the essential oils.

My recipe uses the following herbal infused oils from Mountain Rose Herbs:

A beautiful photo of the Calendula Flower (Calendula officinalis)

Calendula Herbal Oil: It is a very gentle and cooling oil that is soothing to dry and damaged skin.

Comfrey Herbal Oil: Contains the leaves and roots and is great for healing wounds and for promoting skin cell proliferation. Don't apply comfrey herbal oil to open wounds, wait until a scab has formed. 

Plantain in the Summer. (Plantago major)

Plantain Herbal Oil: Is very soothing to the outer skin tissue and can help speed the skin's natural recovery process from wounds and irritations. 

You will also need three essential oils. German Chamomile, Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils. You can purchase them from Mountain Rose Herbs. 

My recipe makes about four ounces which will last about 3 months or longer depending on the size of the ink!
