RE: Are tattoos toxic?

in #naturalmedicine • 5 years ago (edited)

Great tattoo aftercare makes a HUGE difference to the way the tattoo heals and the amount of ink pulled into the scabbing. Fun Fact: I produce several thousand pots of hand-made, organic beeswax Tattoo After Care Balm every month for one of the leading tattoo franchises. :)

Indigo, one of the most common and original tattoo inks has a sacred protective herbal function too - the samurai used to also dye their clothes with it, for added protection in battle.

      Thai peasants too. LOL. Still the most common colour cos that stuff grows EVERYwhere. But it did - and does - have some specific natural medicine and shamanic functions, both in tattooing and in traditional Asian medicines. Might get inspired and post about it later.... :)
