Our editor, Rosie tried some on her latest handpoked cat tattoo created by artist Lydia Amor, this is what she had to say:
I loved how easily I could apply the balm to my skin, it seemed to melt into my hands. It soaked in really quickly and wasn’t at all sticky to touch. I couldn’t really smell the lavender which was a shame, but I’ll be using An79 again to heal some of my newer tattoos for sure.
