Babe’s Balm™ was born from everything I am — a tattoo artist, a papa, a queer trans man who knows resilience, a New Jersey native with grit, and someone who has been radically transformed by Jesus.

Every part of my journey shaped this product.
Every layer of who I am is in this balm.


Why Babe’s Balm™ Exists

⭐ I’m a tattoo artist — so I know how skin heals

I’ve seen every type of aftercare in the industry.
I know what works, what ruins tattoos, what clogs pores, and what truly supports healthy healing.

I built this formula with professional standards in mind — clean, breathable, vegan, gentle, no coconut oil, no artificial fragrance, no petroleum.

⭐ I’m a papa — so it had to be baby-safe

If I wouldn’t put it on my daughter, it wasn’t going into the balm.
Everything in Babe’s Balm™ is gentle, botanical, and family-safe.

⭐ I’m queer & trans — so I know what visibility, safety, and trust mean

I wanted a product created in a space where everyone feels welcome — from parents to artists to clients of all identities.
The energy behind a product matters.
The intention matters.

⭐ I love Jesus — so this brand needed purpose

Babe’s Balm™ isn’t just skincare.
It’s intentional.
It’s gentle.
It’s built with love, humility, and stewardship.
I wanted something that served people well — a product that reflects the softness God brought into my life.


What Makes This Balm Different

It’s handcrafted

Every batch is made by me — not outsourced, not mass-manufactured, not diluted with fillers.

It’s intentional

Nothing is in this formula by accident.
Every ingredient has a purpose for healing, soothing, and protecting.

It’s inclusive

It was created in a space where everyone is welcome: queer folks, parents, believers, artists, sensitive skin babes — all of us.

It’s safe

No coconut oil.
No fragrance.
No lanolin.
No beeswax.
No petroleum.
And absolutely no cheap shortcuts.

It’s spiritual

The heart behind Babe’s Balm™ is love, care, and healing — the same things Jesus brought into my life and continues to teach me to give to others.
