The Ora’s Amazing Herbal Tattoo Salve is a 4 oz natural aftercare balm for fresh tattoos and a maintenance balm for old ink. The formula is petroleum-free — no Aquaphor-style mineral-oil base — and uses calendula, sunflower oil, and beeswax to support healing without smothering skin. Tattoo artists who care about color retention often recommend petroleum-free aftercare specifically.
It handles the full tattoo aftercare arc: itch soothing on the healing scab phase, moisturizing through peel and flake, and color-restoration application on healed ink that has gone dry or matte. Works on fresh ink starting day 3-5 after the wrap comes off.
Ora’s Amazing Herbal is a woman-owned New Jersey herbal apothecary that hand-makes salves and oils in small batches.
