CBD Tattoo Aftercare: Why Your tattoo Deserves More Than Just Lotion

You sat through the pain, kept it clean, and survived the itchy scabbing phase. But what happens after your tattoo’s technically healed?
That’s where most aftercare routines fall short—and where Kind Botanicals Tattoo Balm steps in.
Formulated by wellness professionals (and people who actually have tattoos), this CBD-infused balm goes beyond basic hydration. It’s made to restore, protect, and revive your tattoo after the initial healing stage when your skin still needs serious support, and your tattoo deserves to stay bold, not dull.
Why Post-Healing Care Matters for Your Tattoo
A week or so after your session, the scabs are gone, and your artist gives you the green light to switch to lotion. Most people swap to whatever lotion is lying around—but here’s the problem:
- Regular lotions often contain fragrances and fillers that can dry out or irritate new skin.
- They don’t lock in moisture effectively, leaving your tattoo prone to fading.
- And none of them contain CBD, a powerful skin soother and anti-inflammatory.
Your tattoo is technically “healed,” but your skin is still repairing and a little itchy. That’s why your post-scab skincare matters just as much as what you did on day one.
What’s Inside the Tin (and Why It Works)
We didn’t cut corners. Every 2oz tin of Kind Botanicals Tattoo Balm is packed with ingredients your skin wants:
- Shea & Mango Butter – Ultra-rich plant butters that melt into skin and help rebuild the barrier
- 500mg Full-Spectrum CBD – Calms irritation, reduces lingering inflammation, and nourishes skin cells
- Coconut & Castor Oil – Deep hydration that won’t clog pores or dull your ink
- Safflower Oil & Vitamin E – Antioxidant support to help keep your tattoo vibrant over time
This isn’t just another balm, it’s a functional, plant-based recovery tool.
When and How to Use It
- When to start: Once your tattoo is healed and there’s no broken skin, typically around 7–10 days after the tattoo.
- How to use: Apply a thin layer 1–2 times daily or as needed to clean, dry skin. A little goes a long way.
- Bonus tip: Keep using it long-term to maintain vibrancy and prevent that chalky, faded look.
Tattoo artists love it as a retail add-on, and clients love the glide and scent-free formula that doesn’t interfere with their skin’s healing.
