Homemade tattoo ointment

Many people are obsessed with getting your tat soapy at least twice a day to keep it clean and lathering up the fresh ink with A&D ointment. People hadn't considered naturally caring for their tattoo until a well-known artist said the opposite: that smothering your tattoo can have an effect on the color.

DIY Tattoo Ointment

You'll need the following:

2 tablespoons of beeswax

1.5 tablespoon of coconut oil

1 tablespoon of mango butter (cocoa butter or shea will work just fine)

1 teaspoon of sesame oil

If your "butter" is hard, heat it on a low flamed stove top before adding your ingredients together. If you've got a giant piece that your covering, double up the portions, but trust me a little bit goes a long way. Make sure you clean your tattoo with a mild castor oil soap before applying your new ointment. Then just sit back and watch it heal into a glorious new work of body art.
