Tattoo Aftercare with EOs ~ Fast Healing Tattoo Salve!

"la vita è bellissima"

{beautiful life}

If I ever get a tattoo, this would be it...a simple phrase in Italian :)

Yesterday, I noticed an inconspicuous tattoo on a handsome man of a certain age that took me by surprise!  He was a professional who sported conservative ink that I'm certain had great significance in his life.  I thought...huh, this is a nice surprise!

  

That experience reminded me that tattoos are mainstream, they're not just for bikers anymore, apparently bakers love em too!  To me, it makes perfect sense to get essential oils involved in the aftercare of the tattoo process, EOs are complimentary to fast, bacteria free healing.

After the artwork is done, you're on your own to care for your new ink - you don't want to take chances that could take a disastrous turn if proper care isn't taken to avoid infection and excessive dryness the first two weeks.

Make this ahead of time before your appointment that way you'll be ready to protect your investment!  Using Camp Wander All Purpose Healing Salve basic recipe, I recommend creating the Anti~Aging Blend with Frankincense, Cypress and Lavender (the original Immortelle blend).  Apply as needed after the initial cleansing of the wound, yes...a new tattoo should be initially treated as a wound! 

This EO combination will speed healing by keeping the site bacteria free, reducing swelling and generating deep tissue restoration.  

The All Purpose Healing Salve also contains coconut oil, olive oil and a bit of organic beeswax for stability - all natural ingredients that beat expensive OTC options hands down for healing and antibacterial properties! 

Bonus:  Your tattoo is healed and looking good in no time at all, thanks to a natural approach.  Now what do you do with your fragrant jars of Anti~Aging Salve?  The answer:  Anything you want to!  

The benefits of pure essential oils like doTERRA EOs have many properties that allow for many different uses!  I use my Anti~Aging Salve after a bath or shower to moisturize, on lips to protect and lock in moisture, on scrapes and bruises to restore tissue and speed healing etc.  Essential oils just make life better!

Express yourself safely, put your PURE essential oils to work and live...

THE EO LIFE!
