Inked Talk

Earthly Body is a company promoting hemp-based skin care, including a new line of tattoo aftercare products. When they were kind enough to send me some samples, I was admittedly skeptical. Earthly Body’s products are free of a lot of the bad stuff that makes other tattoo aftercare products work, so I seriously doubted that a petroleum free, lanolin-free, vegan, paraben-free, cruelty-free product could really be effective. When it comes to tattoo aftercare, I am a firm believer in A&D cream. Nevertheless, I waited until I got a new tattoo so I could try out Earthly Body’s healing products and report my findings to my readers at Inked Talk.

Earthly Body suggests a two-step process for tattoo healing. The first step is their “Tattoo Tonic Miracle Oil.” This fresh-scented oil is applied with an eyedropper to the fresh tattoo until it heals. The oil itself is smooth, and it immediately softens the skin. The tattoo I used the Miracle Oil on is a large, colorful piece on my calf. I’ve had problems with tattoos healing on my leg before, so I thought this piece would be a good test.

The tattoo healed very differently than any other tattoo that I have had. I have very dry skin so my tattoos tend to get very dry and flaky no matter how much A&D lotion I apply. This tattoo experienced very little of the dry, uncomfortable flakiness that I had dealt with for every other tattoo. The tattoo healed smoothly, cleanly, and very quickly. The Miracle Oil is available on Earthly Body’s website for $11.00. I used only a small portion of my bottle on my tattoo, so your $11.00 goes a long way.

Step Two of Earthly Body’s tattoo aftercare plan includes using their Miracle Lotion after the tattoo begins to heal. The lotion keeps the skin moist and is said to prevent fading. In my experience, the lotion worked at least as good as A&D cream. The Miracle Lotion is also available for $11.00 on the Earthly Body website.

So what is my verdict, my overall opinion? I am glad to have tried Earthly Body’s products, and I will continue to use the Tattoo Miracle Oil on future tattoos as I am quite pleased with the healing result.

Thanks to Earthly Body for giving me the opportunity to try out their great products!
