The tape acts as reinforcement and prevents the hole from the pin to become a rip that bursts the balloon.
Without the tape stuck onto the balloon the needle prick would allow the rubber tension to rip itself apart because of the air pressure stretching the rubber which would be in tension.
The tape stops the balloon being able to split and so it doesn't burst.
It used to be a kids trick to put 2 pieces of tape on opposite sides of a balloon and then push a long knitting needle right through the balloon without bursting it.

A rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape does not burst when it is pricked by a needle at the piece of the scotch tape?
The reason it sometimes won't, or won't immediately, is the tape prevents the balloon from ripping. The pop is caused by a very quick rip of the latex. The tape prevents the balloon from popping , or allows it to occur more slowly.
