Inksmith Tattoo Balm

Whether it’s your first or tenth tattoo, proper tattoo aftercare and maintenance are important. Since herbal tattoo aftercare products are commonly crafted with whole plants, you’re more likely to receive a harmony of benefits from potent botanicals for your skin.

Introducing our botanical tattoo aftercare that is a locally handcrafted alternative to petroleum jellies and synthetic creams. While the original Inksmith Balm formulation was made in collaboration with Malaysian tattoo artists, makers and fierce inked females, it was never meant to be static. It keeps evolving and changing as I gather more information, expand my knowledge base, experiment and work on integrating traditional botanical ingredients with what modern scientific research tells us.

Inksmith Balm uses a combination of moisturizing butters, plant infused oils, and beeswax (yellow and white) to help lock in moisture. I chose beeswax because it also helps create a protective layer on skin. This balm can be used to rejuvenate older tattoos and soothe newer, fully healed ones. The ingredients used in each batch are sourced for in small batches to maintain freshness and quality.

Please be advised that you should first and foremost follow your artist's aftercare instructions.
