DIY Tattoo aftercare balm
Our DIY Tattoo aftercare balm is a must have for all tattoo lovers.
As most people will know, aftercare is a very important part of having a tattoo. However, many people don’t pay enough attention to this. Furthermore, ignoring your tattoo aftercare instructions will cause your tattoo to become dry and it may also scab. As a result, you may end up with faded tattoos.
Additionally, the tattoo could also very itchy. Itching a new, scabbed tattoo will bring the colour off, resulting further in colour loss.
