Would You Put Motor Oil on Your Skin?

According to a study done by the American Academy of Dermatology, 36 percent of the nation’s young adults (ages 18 to 29) are decorated with at least one tattoo. These results also indicated that 24 percent of the population between the ages of 18 and 50 have been tattooed with the amount of tattooing divided equally between the sexes.

Tattoos are not just for sailors, bikers, or carnival workers anymore. Men and women from all walks of life are appreciating the beautiful art of tattooing. The look of the traditional tattoo parlor has changed. These tattoo parlors have been changed to upscale studios. These studios now follow very strict guidelines concerning sterilization and the age requirements.

Approximately five years ago, Debra Landis’ son came home with a tattoo. After the shock wore off, she set out researching the best way to heal it.

“After my son got his first tattoo, I came up with a formula that would help in the healing process. I just wanted to be sure that his tattoo would heal correctly. At the time, I owned an all natural body care company. I was already familiar with various healing ingredients for skin, but I did further research specifically for healing a new tattoo,” stated Debra Landis, owner and manufacturer of Tat Jam. “His artist was amazed as to how well the tattoos healed and my product sprang from there. The formula has been refined and perfected over the years. I only use the freshest and finest ingredients possible. I stand by my products. They are of the highest quality. I trust in them and believe in them. Personally, I use all of my own products. I would not recommend anything else.”

“Would you put motor oil on your skin? Anything with ‘lube’ or ‘petro’ on the label is the same thing as using motor oil. Tattoo artists are finally taking a second look at the ingredients of the product they put on fresh tattoos,” said Ms. Landis. “Anything with a petroleum derivative gives the skin a temporary feeling of softness because it sits on the skin. In reality, it draws the moisture OUT of your skin. That's why they say people are addicted to their Chapstick. It gives a temporary feeling of softness and then it slides off. You have to keep reapplying the product to continue the feeling of moist (moisturized) lips. I have even heard of an artist recommending hemorrhoid medication—that is way off track! Zinc is found in some of these products. My research had indicated that 1 in every 100 people have a reaction to Zinc. And then there is lanolin. This comes from sheep. All I can say is, “How many people do you know allergic to wool?”

“Getting a tattoo is very traumatic to the skin. You really need to nurture the skin, replenish the cells, and bring it back to health. With proper healing, the color is retained. If the tattoo doesn't heal correctly you will probably have to go back in to get it repaired,” continued Ms. Landis. “We currently sell at the wholesale price. You can find Tat Jam at a retail location, online distributors, and, of course, at various tattoo studios.”

Keep the color and heal the skin. Tat Jam is the best product to heal a new tattoo by nurturing the skin and replenishing the cells. Tat Jam will also help in keeping the color. Only the finest ingredients are used in the manufacture of Tat Jam.
