What This Balm Does

Tattooed skin is still skin, and dry skin dulls the ink sitting under it. A balm keeps that surface moisturized, which is what keeps the colors reading bright.

Taconic states this balm keeps tattoos vibrant, that it will not clog pores because it contains no petroleum, and that it is also used on un-tattooed skin for dry cuticles, cracked skin and chafing. Those are Taconic’s descriptions of its own balm.

Who This Is Best For

Fresh ink
Thin layers, applied as needed, in Taconic’s own directions.
Old ink
Taconic states it keeps tattoos vibrant, which is a moisture job as much as anything.
Common-allergen avoiders
Free of gluten, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and corn, per Taconic.

How To Use It

Taconic’s directions: apply a thin layer of balm to tattoos as needed to keep colors brighter. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly.

For a brand new tattoo, follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare instructions first; this balm slots into the routine they give you.

Care and Storage

Keep the lid seated and the balm out of heat and direct sun, since the base is beeswax. Nothing in it needs refrigerating.
