As someone who learned the hard way, do NOT use saniderm if you’ve EVER had a reaction to ANY adhesive! I personally completed two patch tests (one on the planned tattoo placement and second on the sensitive skin behind my ear). Neither patch test reacted and I thought I was good to go...day after my tattoo I had to go to urgent care. At my next tattoo (1.5 years later) appointment, my artist shared that other clients of hers had similar experiences and now she won’t put saniderm on anyone who’s ever experienced any kind of adhesive reaction.
@@celle_tattoo thanks, I really wanted to use saniderm too, I actually bought a personal roll thinking I would use it to heal my sleeve, obviously that didn’t work out 😂
I used secondskin which is a similar product. Terrible allergic reaction to the adhesive :/ so Thanks for bringing this up for other people. Because it sucks when it happens
Just used saniderm for the first time on a new tattoo last month. Had to keep it on for almost 72 hours because I was traveling from europe to south america right after tattooing (3 flights plus a 6 hour drive). Fortunately I had no liquid bag under the bandage. After I got to my destination, I took it off in the shower and did not apply another bandage, instead I switched to applying an ointment. It was the best experience I've ever had healing a tattoo, absolutely no scabbing, no itchiness, nada! My tattoo looks incredibly bright and beautiful. Not going back to that messy saran wrap situation ever again 🐑
My tattoo artist put Saniderm on mine when I got it (It was my first tattoo) and it made healing absolutely painless. My tattoo is on the tail end of healing, it's been just over a week.. and it really, really made it quick and painless!
My artist put this on my new tattoo he mentioned to keep it on for "1" week and i did not change it, i was FULLY healed in 6 days (i took it off early cause it was really peeling off near my elbow). I will deff use this method again if i get another tattoo!
Thanks so much for clarifying!!! Because i was like oh shoot i needed to change this ?? (Currently healing a tattoo) even though my artist said the same thing, leave on for about a week :)
interesting, thanks for the info! I'm thinking about getting a tattoo and Saniderm sounds really convenient. Depends on what my tattoo artist recommends, but at least I know that Saniderm seems to be a good choice!
Just got my 3rd tattoo its been 14 years. My artist used saniderm and I'm loving it! So much easier than the older methods. I'm not having a reaction, however its worth noting that you can develop an allergy at any time. So some people may find that the next time they use it, they may have a reaction.
I got a new tattoo on Wednesday and she gave me a saniderm to take home while she covered it at the shop. I love the fact she gave me another one after I showered and allowed me to clean it well. My tattoo is already scabbing with the saniderm. There’s a bit of liquid, but hardly any. Your video came out to be extremely informative 🐑
I got my first tattoo this past summer and the tattoo artist used Saniderm and I was amazed at how easy the healing process was in comparison to my brothers who had to heal their the old fashioned way some years ago. Best thing ever
I got my first two tattoos in the mid-2000s and both of them healed absolutely awful using aquaphor and lotion. Because of this, I stopped getting tattoos for almost 10 years until I heard about saniderm. Now I use it all the time.
I love saniderm/second skin, I found it very protective. The only downside for me was the removal, especially from my shoulder piece. It didn't leave any reaction but the physical act of separating it from my skin, even with the help of some soapy water, was horrendous lol
I removed mine in the shower, as the tattoo artist recommended. Still, removing it was more painful the tattooing process, lol But, honestly, it was worth it, the healing process was immensely improved compared to the older ones where I used saran wrap
My last tattoo artist used saniderm on me for the first time, after I took it off after the third day however the area was red and swollen, I could literally see the swelling in the shape of the saniderm. At first I thought maybe I tugged it off too fast but it persisted for more than two weeks- I assumed I was maybe allergic to the adhesive but it turned out my artist just hadn’t washed off the green soap completely before applying 🙄 saniderm reacts to green soap!! the more you know
I've used Saniderm for my last 4 ink pieces, and it's amazing. 1st one for 24 hours, 2nd for 3 days, and the last 2 for 5 days each, with the 2nd 3rd and 4th, I experienced absolutely no itching or scabing. I WONT BE USING OTHER HEALING METHOD ON FUTURE INK
Just removed the Saniderm after seven straight days. I had a 4” tattoo applied to my calf. Two days after the tattoo I was going into a bush camp for 5 days. The artist said unless there was a large amount of plasma that I should just leave the same bandage undisturbed. Luckily there was a small amount, maybe a teaspoon. Nothing like some of the cases you see on the web. What was there seemed to dry out after 2 days. Got home and removed the Saniderm in the shower. A light wash, dry and started applying lotion. Two days now, no itch, no pain, no peeling, good color. Fingers crossed!
My tattoo artist has recently gone for a more natural alternative: coconut oil! Tried it on my last tattoo and works like a charm, doesn't stain your clothes, smells good 👌
I used it on my sleeve and it worked amazing. Especially the first few days. I couldn’t keep it on the full amount because I have sensitive skin. It causes a rash if I leave it on too long. However, I could sleep and shower with ease. I completely recommend it!
Just got my first tattoo and I've had the saniderm on for five days. I'm being good and keeping it on for a few more days as per the artist's recommendation but I'm super excited to see the result!🐑
Same! He told me leave it on for 7 days and I’ll be completely good. Trying to wait it out lol. Now i don’t know wat to do after or wat products to use😅
Saniderm scared me at first because I didn’t like the idea of dirt or bacteria getting trapped underneath but once I tried it I’ve never gone back. It makes the first night sleep and first wash so much more bearable🐑
I wisshh I could use Saniderm! But I'm allergic to the adhesive. My first tattoo was healed with it and it also left a HUGE blister on my arm (luckily not on the tattoo, but on the back of my arm) and now it's a big scar (not raised, just darker). Definitely watch out the first time trying it! I didn't have any contact allergies before that I know off. If it hurts at the edge of the film or anywhere where there's not tattood, that's not normal. Take it off. Great video, though! Will keep it in mind for my next tattoo healing :)
Even a patch test may not be the best indicator. I did two patch tests before my tattoo without issue but once on the tattoo I ended up at Urgent Care where they explained ‘healthy, intact skin, may not be an accurate representation of how an open wound would respond.’ It’s the one gripe I have with this product, you technically should just avoid it if you’ve ever reacted to any adhesives.
@@LambDraws that darker skin is Post Inflammatory Erythema (PIE). It's kind of like the red / purplish marks left behind by acne. You can definitely lighten it using skincare products. Just be patient. It may take 8 to 12 weeks to show visible results. I've got a small patch of PIE left behind by a blister caused by Saniderm, and am now working on it to lighten the red mark.
I've never had a reaction to any kind of adhesive but was def allergic to saniderm! Didn't realize until the 3rd day. Thankfully no issues with the tattoo itself, just the saniderm touching the perimeter on the outside.
I was given saniderm for one of my most recent tattoos. I found it amazing in the first day, because it could hold all the liquid from the tattoo without making a mess like plastic wrap. I was told to keep it 24 Hours, but my tattoo was so disgusting and full of liquid that it didn’t feel right to me to keep it dirty, so I kept the film for around 18 hours. The second round of saniderm film, that I had to keep for 3 whole days, was kinda itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Also the skin around the tattoo was red and irritated. I ended up removing it after 2 days, it felt better without it. Finished healing my tattoo with hustle butter whenever I felt it too dry and tight. The tattoo turned of great luckily. I don’t think that saniderm is a bad product, but if it irritates your skin it’s better not to use it. Your tattoo won’t get ruined if you remove the film and choose to heal it traditionally.
Hi, the liquid is not actually dirty it is a mixture of blood, ink and plasma. The plasma actually helps you heal faster but if you feel irritated by this you could of had just drained it by puncturing a very small hole and then covering just the hole instead of replacing the whole saniderm patch. Hope this helps
why are you leaving the plastic wrap on for more then you need you take it off when you get home. it is to protect ya clothes while you go home or you might not go home right away so it protects ya clothes and the tattoo. your meant to take it off.
@@nottogood415 i was not referring to normal plastic wrap, I was talking about saniderm and the instructions say it must be left for the first 24 hours. I think it’s also mentioned in this video
@@ariannadagostino5520 don't care what the instructions are it is not really made for tattoos it was made ages ago to cover say if ya got your arm stitched up. stuff like that. it has been around for ages. you should not leave it on your tattoo for 24 hours. all the sweat and shit and salt from ya skin gets trapped and starts to effect the ink.... i tattoo i never use it for this reason it is a bad product. and is meant for cuts and after surgery and wounds like that single cuts not a whole tattoo..
@@nottogood415 it was my first and only time with that product, i was also kind of inexperienced with healing tattoos so I trusted what my artist said and tried to follow the instructions. As I said, I couldn’t keep it for long because it felt uncomfortable and itchy. But other people seems to like this product and they say that it works well for them.
My artist tells me to keep my bandage on a few hours then once im back in a clean environment wash it and let it dry out a few days before I apply any ointment. Saniderm looks like a good idea in comparison.
After a few tattoos, I found a great potion at the drugstore that felt less sticky than traditional aquaphor. Worked great for a few more. Heard about saniderm.... never going back. It’s so much simpler. But definitely recommend putting a light lotion or their ointment over the tattoo before the saniderm. Also cut it with ample room around the tattoo and as they say, round the corners just in case the outer adhesive wears off over the course of wearing it!
I wondered about moisturizing with their balm before hand! With at least the 2nd application. I feel like that would possibly help with any skin irritation as well since it won’t be so dry.
I had a tattoo 9 days ago. I kept a sandiderm on mine for 4 days, until it looks all dry and scrusty inderneath. I removed it in the shower, washed it and have used tattoo cream 3 times a days and its almost completely healed after 9 days. My previous tattoos before saniderm always really badly scabbed and ruined the tattoos but this one with the saniderm has healed perfectly and really quick
Getting my first tattoo in 2wks and it's a full sleeve. Your video is informative and super helpful. Been researching aftercare and now I see why so many recommend Saniderm 🐑
@@crushlube435 Chiming back in. Saniderm has definitely been helpful and a breeze with my tattoo healing. Got my full sleeve done in 11hrs then did the Saniderm method. Last day is on Monday 🙌🏻
Hey I had the first one after I left the shop. For 24 hours. Then I put the second one on after cleaning it. After about a day it’s got liquid in it again is that normal ?
@@jayn481 that’s normal! It means your tattoo is healing! It won’t be the same as the first saniderm where there is a ton of fluid. I just got a new tattoo on Wednesday and it has a bit of liquid and it starting to scab as well and it’s only been a day with it the second saniderm on
I LOVE saniderm! I have used similar products to heal my tattoos and they either dont stick to the skin around my fresh tattoo, leak, or heal way slower. I have never had a problem with Saniderm and I have noticed my tattoos heal way faster.
🐑 I used it on my first tattoo. I had a large upper leg piece done. Got home washed it using antibacterial soap. Pat dried with paper towel. Let it dry and while I did this I cut the saniderm into strips so I could patch cover the large area. Took it off after 30hrs. Not much fluid but enough. Then washed and used Husstle butter (moisturiser) on the wound. Then I left it for an hour. Washed it again with disinfectant and put my second sheet on. It's on still and I plan to leave it till day 6. As I'm away with work and don't want to ruin hotel sheets.
I've always had a great experience with tagaderm/saniderm. It was originally developed for burn patients! For me though...it keeps my cats off it. There's always the hair issue, but my oldest cat loves to wipe her nose on me to show she cares and I'm infinitely grateful for a layer of plastic between her snot and my healing ink.
ive done both traditional and saniderm (or something close) aftercare before and i have to say saniderm is MILES better in terms of convenience and comfort. it makes it feel like you didn't even get tattooed in that area, and the cleanup is minimal. though i would still recommend using healing ointments after taking the saniderm off in 1-2 days since it just protects the skin so much more. my first tattoo artist recommended me this japanese ointment you can get from drug stores and i've been using it ever since.. don't think i've heard anyone else use it before though lol 🐑
I'm getting my first ever tattoos in July so I thought I'd do my research whilst I'm waiting. I always thought the ink sacs on TikTok were skin, not this Saniderm. 😅 I'll definitely be trying this out.
There are hundreds of healing creams available now. I used Otzi tattoo cream on my last one. It did a great job. Bepanthen make a special tattoo ointment now but i prefer creams because they are easier to apply and less messy.
I've gotten two tattoos and both of them were covered with saniderm and it is the best because it's so easy to heal, I left it on for 1 week on the first tattoo and three days on the second tattoo both times the tattoo had healed well without me needing to do anything else. Also take it off in the shower because it doesn't lose any of its stickyness.
@@FTW_666 for the first one yes, the artist I got the second one of recommended only 3 days so that's what I did, and as for taking it off I just pointed the shower head at it and just wiggled off as much as I could which wasn't a lot as it took me around 20 minutes to get it all off
i got my first tattoo yesterday and just took off the saniderm! since i got a really simple design that was mainly lines i didnt get an ink sac... which i am surprisingly disappointed about. guess that means i have to go all out next time for the sake of funny globs of ink :D
Never used saniderm, but definitely heard that aquaphor and vaseline were a no-no. Redemption Tattoo Aftercare has been good for me over the years, but I might give saniderm a try in a few months for my next tattoo. Thanks.
When I got my stomach lined, I used traditional method and it felt like 2.5 weeks before it was “healed”, with the shading (packed black) I’m using saniderm and it feels healed after 2 days.
I got saniderm for my first tattoo and I got a scar where a corner of it came unstuck and would not stick back onto me. The little scar faded recently after about 3 years. I've used it about 3-4 more times since then and each time my skin gets slightly raised, red, and iritated for about 3-5 days after I take it off. I really like saniderm because it's easy, but my skin does not. So I have to go the "traditional" route to avoid the potential for scaring and the iritation.
This was an amazing and informative video! Thank you 😀 Starting my lower arm sleeve in 4 days and are planning on testing Tegaderm for the first time (we don't have Saniderm in my country).
This is my second experience with saniderm, however within the first 24 hours I could see the plasma build up from simple minimalist work to a lot of black fluid/smear. Fingers crossed for the best outcome. Thank you for this video.🐑
The biggest thing is take it off in the direction of hair growth and never ever take it off dry! Take it off in the shower after you've been in there for a few minutes. I take it off at the end of my shower. It freaks me out when people remove it dry!
Saniderm works MAGIC on small tattoos for sure, in my experience if you leave it on for a few days the tattoo is basically healed up by the time it has to come off!
En españa no conozco a casi ningún/a tatuador/a que lo use porque realmente dicen que no funciona tan bien como dicen. Si tienes la piel sensible hace reacción y te inflama la zona y sólo te sirve para las primeras horas. Puede ser transpirable pero no deja de ser plástico en la piel, no es lo mismo que llevarlo al aire con aquaphor o solar...
I have healed 4 tattoos with Saniderm and I’m not going back. It has made the whole process easier and faster. I feel bad for the people with allergic reactions. 🐑
I love saniderm! It healed my thigh piece amazingly but I think I have a slight adhesive sensitivity after reading the comments. It was only on the outer edge and didn't affect the tattoo at all but I did have a dark line everywhere the edge touched only on one side. I lightened the dark mark with cream and after a couple of months the line was very faint. Is it bad that I would use saniderm again because healing tattoos the traditional way is a Pain in my behind?!
I'm using Cetaphil, A&D ointment along with love and kindness! Around day five switching to a light gloss of African Shea Butter! I didn't rewrap My Tattoo after Day 2 gently washing of My Beautiful foot Tattoo coverup!
I have never not healed a tattoo using saniderm (or a product just like it) ive never had a tattoo take over a week and a half to heal even on the one i took the saniderm off early. Its so much easier and cleaner to use and i dont have to worry about leakage. I'm a hairdresser and i dont have to worry about getting hair and harmful hair products on/in my new tattoo. After i get to the scabby itchy phase i bring some antiseptic spray with lidocaine in it called "bactine max" and after each/every other client i rinse my tattoo and spray that to make sure I didn't get anything on it and its nice and clean.
Your hand tattoo is bloody awesome. I've got tegaderm on now on a half sleeve (2nd phase) . It's a bastard to cover but i managed it 😂 4 days to go (out of 6) and I'm looking forward to giving my arm a good old wash. Feels good, minimal inflammation now gone, looks crisp. Thanks for this great vid x
So I’m 16 and got this beautiful piece of 6 butterflies down my forearm and I’m so in love with the tattoo. I was concerned about the liquid that was coming from it but you cleared up so much for me. Thank you for the amazing video
My artist used saniderm on my latest tattoos. Pretty good experience with no reaction to adhesive however even though I was super careful, slow and used water when removing it, I had slight bruising on a very small part of a sensitive area around my armpit. The clean skin, not the tattooed area. It seems to be clearing but super slow. Have you ever experienced this? I'm fairly new to tattooing. How long before I can sleep on a newish tattoo? I'm slept on my back for 10 days and its not very comfortable. I enjoy your videos. Very informative. Thank you.
My tattooist changed from saniderm to yayo and the difference is incredible saniderm was awful for me personally the healing was super slow whilst I didn't have a allergic reaction I did have nothing but problems with it skin wise bruised af real slow to heal and generally not what should happen. Since changing to yayo it's honestly perfect no ink sacks no bruising it can breathe without stuff being able to get in it and helps heal it 10x quicker and a dream to soak off I highly recommend that
I kept the Saniderm for 4 days. And I'm on the 2nd day of the lotion process 2 times a day. I'm on day 6 of healing and so far minor itching and no scabbing yet.
It's almost 24 hours after my tattoo and about to remove my first round. Do I have to put a moisturizer before wrapping the second time? Thank God I found this video about saniderm, i think I'll go with this rather than traditional healing to prevent me from scratching it. 🐑
Not sure if this will be useful to any one, but I used saniderm when I was out of the country. Forgot my group scheduled a boat joy ride involving a banana balloon raft/ hours of swimming. I was worried my tattoo would get infected since it was two days fresh,and I was gonna be doing some beach activities. However, but I took the risk, and wrapped Saniderm over my tattoo, went swimming in some deep water, got pulled by a boat while on a tube, got flipped offthe tube, did water activities lasting roughly 4-5 hours. Finished the day with some touring the city/ eating, got to my hotel thinking to see some irritation, but no redness or infections. Literally no sand,dirt, or excessive moisture inside the saniderm. So if you guys end up in a situation where you just might have to swim with a new tattoo, it would probably be best not to do what I did so your chances of infection are at a 0, but if you can’t help it, please try saniderm.
ive used Saniderm on both my sleeves left and right.. and can say it DEFINITELY decrease healing times. saniderm i roughly take 8 days to heal (peeling and all). I tried with traditional and by the time Saniderm is done.. regular way im still peeling
based on your comment, I think you meant "decreases healing times" not increases. You probably meant increases healing speed. It just looked like you were against saniderm for the first half of your comment😅
I got tatted in another country and my artist put saniderm on me, and I was clueless as to how it was supposed to heal with no lotion. Then I got an allergic reaction and removed it two days later and damn it hurt and also pulled some of my tattoo off :( My artist was sweet and fixed me up and I only heal the "old fashioned way" now. I can see the pinned comment by Jam Straight and I second this! I can't leave a bandaid on for more than two hours or it'll start to itch, be mindful of saniderm if you have even just a tiny bit of allergies to adhesives
My tattoo healed great with tegaderm, but 3 months after I was out in the sun for an hour and it hurt soooo bad for the next week; it didn't look burnt but I'm not sure what else could have been going on 🤷♂️ . Tege/saniderm is great though, I just keep it around for general use now
🐑 Love Saniderm; way easier to heal and keep your skin hydrated the first few days. Definitely less itchy than tattoos I've healed without it. The adhesive does bother my skin to a degree, but it's tolerable for the 5-6 days and just leaves the skin around the edge a little red. (I've had more of a reaction from traditional Band-Aid adhesive than Saniderm.) Both Mad Rabbit and People of Substance make great tattoo balms, too.
🐏 I had finished a whole roll of secondskin and a roll of dermalize. They both didn't stick the greatest to skin. I would always find mild leakage of ink & plasma after the first 12hrs of getting tattooed. But these 2 brands never caused me any form of allergic reactions. Since finishing those 2 brands, I got a roll of saniderm last month and used it (without patch testing in advance, very stupid) on a little black tattoo on my arm and a 6hr big black & grey piece on my back. The giant piece of saniderm on my back was totally fine, I left it on for 5 days. My back tattoo healed amazingly. However, the much smaller piece of saniderm on my arm caused a red and angry blister along its border. I stupidly left the saniderm on for 3 days despite the blister 😂 I was just relieve that my new small tattoo was left intact. But there was a red mark the same length of the new tattoo on otherwise healthy, untattooed skin.
I just followed my tattoo artist and kept it on for 5 days , its so easy and you don't have worry about sleeping a certain way and you can shower with ease. Its a game changer, and makes life so easy its b**** to remove so be careful when removing it
Second skin really irritated my skin. My artist told me to keep it on for 3 days and after 2 days I broke out all around the tattoo (tattoo was on my back and I never breakout there). My skin became pumpy and reddish and it started going away after I took off the second skin. Breakout didn’t affect my tattoo luckily but made me concerned it would.
Sandier was great because my tattoo didn’t scab at all, however I’m more comfortable with washing and applying lotion multiple times a day for about a week
i got 3 tattoos this in 1 month 2 size 10x10 and 1 size 10x16 and i dont use anything for 2 weeks. im planning to use aftercare balm to make the black color more black.
Just got a new tattoo last week and kept my saniderm for about a week. The edges around the saniderm always gives my skin minor abrasions from friction, but thats the only negative I can think of! I'm not sure if its normal but my tattoo has been peeling for a few days now.
Definitley gonna give Saniderm a try. Been using something similar for more than a year now. But this product looks much more intended for tattoos. And thank you so much for your (very) informative videos about the different topics about/inside tattooing, and your charming charisma aswell. Much love from germany (@noirstreets) 🐑
Just got my tattoo today my Artist told me to keep it on for 6 days and keep this in mind this is the first Bandage and everyone is saying to keep the first one on into 8 hrs or 24 hrs then remove it clean your arm then add the second one into 48 Hrs at this moment I am kinda lost lol
@@henriqueblackops well if I am honest 10 months now with the tattoo never got infected but what I did was with the bandage I kept it on for a 4 days then took it off then started to put lotion on it and so on
@@mrclassix2002 Awesome!!! I’m happy that everything went well for you! So you only used the first Saniderm that your tattoo artist used and never replaced right? Because I’m going through the same thing, my tattoo didn’t release any ink or any plasma, it’s completely dry and my artist told me I could leave for 5 days… But now seeing everyone saying that you have to replace it in 24 hours is making me worried that it is going to get infected or something…
@@henriqueblackops yes I kept it never took it off, IF by any chance you start to see leaking from your bandage or you start to have a lot of liquid from your blood then yes remove it , clean your area where you got the tattoo with sensitive soap or antibacterial soap on the area not too rough and apply a new bandage the next day and let your tattoo area breathe “ ONLY IF IT HAVES ALOT OF LIQUID “
looking into this method of healing. getting ready to tattoo my upper arms. like the idea of protecting the area under my work shirts. I am going to give this a try. thanx for the info 👍 😀 🐑
Lol my tattoo artist always uses “saniderm” (she uses a different brand) and yeah, i have highly sensitive skin, eczema etc, however when i peel it off, i dont have any irritation (other that what you would expect from peeling tape essentially off your skin) no eczema flare ups etc
As someone who learned the hard way, do NOT use saniderm if you’ve EVER had a reaction to ANY adhesive! I personally completed two patch tests (one on the planned tattoo placement and second on the sensitive skin behind my ear). Neither patch test reacted and I thought I was good to go...day after my tattoo I had to go to urgent care.
At my next tattoo (1.5 years later) appointment, my artist shared that other clients of hers had similar experiences and now she won’t put saniderm on anyone who’s ever experienced any kind of adhesive reaction.
Oh my gosh thats terrible! Sorry you went through that, thanks for sharing I had no clue the patch test isn't enough sometimes.
@@celle_tattoo thanks, I really wanted to use saniderm too, I actually bought a personal roll thinking I would use it to heal my sleeve, obviously that didn’t work out 😂
I used secondskin which is a similar product. Terrible allergic reaction to the adhesive :/ so Thanks for bringing this up for other people. Because it sucks when it happens

I love saniderm/second skin, I found it very protective. The only downside for me was the removal, especially from my shoulder piece. It didn't leave any reaction but the physical act of separating it from my skin, even with the help of some soapy water, was horrendous lol
Pull the corner horizontally instead of vertically it feels so much better
I removed mine in the shower, as the tattoo artist recommended. Still, removing it was more painful the tattooing process, lol
But, honestly, it was worth it, the healing process was immensely improved compared to the older ones where I used saran wrap
I had something similar (I think it was called suprasorb) on all of my tattoos and all of my tattoos healed amazingly.
Cool! I’ve never heard of that one I’ll look it up
This worked out great for me. I highly recommend it. Healed my tattoo in a week. No itching scabbing or infection. Love this stuff. 🐑
My last tattoo artist used saniderm on me for the first time, after I took it off after the third day however the area was red and swollen, I could literally see the swelling in the shape of the saniderm. At first I thought maybe I tugged it off too fast but it persisted for more than two weeks- I assumed I was maybe allergic to the adhesive but it turned out my artist just hadn’t washed off the green soap completely before applying 🙄 saniderm reacts to green soap!! the more you know
Oh gawd that sucks. How is the Tattoo doing now? Hope it healed nicely
Oh no. How’s your tat now?
@@analogkid4957 the tattoo itself healed nicely but there is a faint residual scar from the outline of the saniderm 🥲
@@KeepHopeAlive90 the tattoo has one tiny blowout but healed nicely otherwise! there is a faint scar where the outline of the saniderm was though 😰
Do you mean the green bar of soap?
Just got my first two tattoos yesterday! I love them so much and I had an amazing artist
Same! I got two butterflies and she did such an amazing job.
I've used Saniderm for my last 4 ink pieces, and it's amazing. 1st one for 24 hours, 2nd for 3 days, and the last 2 for 5 days each, with the 2nd 3rd and 4th, I experienced absolutely no itching or scabing. I WONT BE USING OTHER HEALING METHOD ON FUTURE INK
Why did you use it for so long ?
@@xzygreen8938 no itching or scabing, just a clean easy heal. 7 to 10 days is recommended, so I got off easy
@@susanmartin313 I mean every product is usually only recommended for the first 7 days.
@@xzygreen8938 then why not use it the recommended amount? Lol
@@lacycouch4617 he said he left it on for quite a bit longer. That’s why…..
Just removed the Saniderm after seven straight days. I had a 4” tattoo applied to my calf. Two days after the tattoo I was going into a bush camp for 5 days. The artist said unless there was a large amount of plasma that I should just leave the same bandage undisturbed. Luckily there was a small amount, maybe a teaspoon. Nothing like some of the cases you see on the web. What was there seemed to dry out after 2 days. Got home and removed the Saniderm in the shower. A light wash, dry and started applying lotion. Two days now, no itch, no pain, no peeling, good color. Fingers crossed!
How’s that tattoo doing? I just got a tattoo and my artist said I could take it off after 5 days
My tattoo artist has recently gone for a more natural alternative: coconut oil! Tried it on my last tattoo and works like a charm, doesn't stain your clothes, smells good 👌
My artist says coconut oil too! Helps with itching a lot
I used it on my sleeve and it worked amazing. Especially the first few days. I couldn’t keep it on the full amount because I have sensitive skin. It causes a rash if I leave it on too long. However, I could sleep and shower with ease. I completely recommend it!
Just got my first tattoo and I've had the saniderm on for five days. I'm being good and keeping it on for a few more days as per the artist's recommendation but I'm super excited to see the result!🐑
So you never replaced the first saniderm?cause my tattoo artist told me the same thing. To keep the first-time placed saniderm as much as it stays
@@Bellebont I was told the same is this wrong?
@@ollieno971 it is right.it did good job
Same! He told me leave it on for 7 days and I’ll be completely good. Trying to wait it out lol. Now i don’t know wat to do after or wat products to use😅
@@neseyrobinson2325did you try to avoid it from getting wet?
Saniderm scared me at first because I didn’t like the idea of dirt or bacteria getting trapped underneath but once I tried it I’ve never gone back. It makes the first night sleep and first wash so much more bearable🐑
This was super helpful. The sec she said don't go in direct sunlight my mind was like I'm in England the run forgets about us here
I wisshh I could use Saniderm! But I'm allergic to the adhesive. My first tattoo was healed with it and it also left a HUGE blister on my arm (luckily not on the tattoo, but on the back of my arm) and now it's a big scar (not raised, just darker).
Definitely watch out the first time trying it! I didn't have any contact allergies before that I know off. If it hurts at the edge of the film or anywhere where there's not tattood, that's not normal. Take it off.
Great video, though! Will keep it in mind for my next tattoo healing :)
Yoo you covered this! Sorry for commenting so soon haha. Definitely do the patch test! Don't be like me and end up with great tattoo space ruined
That is a bummer! Glad the tattoo wasn't affected.
Even a patch test may not be the best indicator. I did two patch tests before my tattoo without issue but once on the tattoo I ended up at Urgent Care where they explained ‘healthy, intact skin, may not be an accurate representation of how an open wound would respond.’ It’s the one gripe I have with this product, you technically should just avoid it if you’ve ever reacted to any adhesives.
@@LambDraws that darker skin is Post Inflammatory Erythema (PIE). It's kind of like the red / purplish marks left behind by acne. You can definitely lighten it using skincare products. Just be patient. It may take 8 to 12 weeks to show visible results.
I've got a small patch of PIE left behind by a blister caused by Saniderm, and am now working on it to lighten the red mark.
I've never had a reaction to any kind of adhesive but was def allergic to saniderm! Didn't realize until the 3rd day. Thankfully no issues with the tattoo itself, just the saniderm touching the perimeter on the outside.
I had this happen too!
i also had this happen and now i have faint scars around the tattoo at the saniderm edges
I was given saniderm for one of my most recent tattoos. I found it amazing in the first day, because it could hold all the liquid from the tattoo without making a mess like plastic wrap. I was told to keep it 24 Hours, but my tattoo was so disgusting and full of liquid that it didn’t feel right to me to keep it dirty, so I kept the film for around 18 hours. The second round of saniderm film, that I had to keep for 3 whole days, was kinda itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Also the skin around the tattoo was red and irritated. I ended up removing it after 2 days, it felt better without it. Finished healing my tattoo with hustle butter whenever I felt it too dry and tight. The tattoo turned of great luckily.
I don’t think that saniderm is a bad product, but if it irritates your skin it’s better not to use it. Your tattoo won’t get ruined if you remove the film and choose to heal it traditionally.
Hi, the liquid is not actually dirty it is a mixture of blood, ink and plasma. The plasma actually helps you heal faster but if you feel irritated by this you could of had just drained it by puncturing a very small hole and then covering just the hole instead of replacing the whole saniderm patch. Hope this helps
why are you leaving the plastic wrap on for more then you need you take it off when you get home. it is to protect ya clothes while you go home or you might not go home right away so it protects ya clothes and the tattoo. your meant to take it off.
@@nottogood415 i was not referring to normal plastic wrap, I was talking about saniderm and the instructions say it must be left for the first 24 hours. I think it’s also mentioned in this video
@@ariannadagostino5520 don't care what the instructions are it is not really made for tattoos it was made ages ago to cover say if ya got your arm stitched up. stuff like that. it has been around for ages. you should not leave it on your tattoo for 24 hours. all the sweat and shit and salt from ya skin gets trapped and starts to effect the ink.... i tattoo i never use it for this reason it is a bad product. and is meant for cuts and after surgery and wounds like that single cuts not a whole tattoo..
@@nottogood415 it was my first and only time with that product, i was also kind of inexperienced with healing tattoos so I trusted what my artist said and tried to follow the instructions. As I said, I couldn’t keep it for long because it felt uncomfortable and itchy. But other people seems to like this product and they say that it works well for them.
My artist tells me to keep my bandage on a few hours then once im back in a clean environment wash it and let it dry out a few days before I apply any ointment. Saniderm looks like a good idea in comparison.
After a few tattoos, I found a great potion at the drugstore that felt less sticky than traditional aquaphor. Worked great for a few more. Heard about saniderm.... never going back. It’s so much simpler. But definitely recommend putting a light lotion or their ointment over the tattoo before the saniderm. Also cut it with ample room around the tattoo and as they say, round the corners just in case the outer adhesive wears off over the course of wearing it!
I wondered about moisturizing with their balm before hand! With at least the 2nd application. I feel like that would possibly help with any skin irritation as well since it won’t be so dry.
I had a tattoo 9 days ago. I kept a sandiderm on mine for 4 days, until it looks all dry and scrusty inderneath. I removed it in the shower, washed it and have used tattoo cream 3 times a days and its almost completely healed after 9 days. My previous tattoos before saniderm always really badly scabbed and ruined the tattoos but this one with the saniderm has healed perfectly and really quick
Getting my first tattoo in 2wks and it's a full sleeve. Your video is informative and super helpful. Been researching aftercare and now I see why so many recommend Saniderm 🐑
Full sleeve for your first tattoo?! Your ballsy
@@crushlube435 Chiming back in. Saniderm has definitely been helpful and a breeze with my tattoo healing. Got my full sleeve done in 11hrs then did the Saniderm method. Last day is on Monday 🙌🏻
@@MannyRoutesnice, I got a half sleeve for my first one and it’s a bit itchy with sandiderm but not bad. I’m on day 4
I have never been told to remove the saniderm after the initial 24 hours and reapply, just to leave the original application for a few days.
i’ve been using saniderm for the last few tattoos i’ve gotten and it’s amazing 🐑🐑
Hey I had the first one after I left the shop. For 24 hours. Then I put the second one on after cleaning it. After about a day it’s got liquid in it again is that normal ?
@@jayn481 that’s normal! It means your tattoo is healing! It won’t be the same as the first saniderm where there is a ton of fluid. I just got a new tattoo on Wednesday and it has a bit of liquid and it starting to scab as well and it’s only been a day with it the second saniderm on
I LOVE saniderm!
I have used similar products to heal my tattoos and they either dont stick to the skin around my fresh tattoo, leak, or heal way slower.
I have never had a problem with Saniderm and I have noticed my tattoos heal way faster.
🐑 I used it on my first tattoo. I had a large upper leg piece done. Got home washed it using antibacterial soap. Pat dried with paper towel. Let it dry and while I did this I cut the saniderm into strips so I could patch cover the large area. Took it off after 30hrs. Not much fluid but enough. Then washed and used Husstle butter (moisturiser) on the wound. Then I left it for an hour. Washed it again with disinfectant and put my second sheet on. It's on still and I plan to leave it till day 6. As I'm away with work and don't want to ruin hotel sheets.
I've always had a great experience with tagaderm/saniderm. It was originally developed for burn patients! For me though...it keeps my cats off it. There's always the hair issue, but my oldest cat loves to wipe her nose on me to show she cares and I'm infinitely grateful for a layer of plastic between her snot and my healing ink.
What a great and informative video, thank you so much! Anyone getting a tattoo should watch this regardless of the type of healing they use.
ive done both traditional and saniderm (or something close) aftercare before and i have to say saniderm is MILES better in terms of convenience and comfort. it makes it feel like you didn't even get tattooed in that area, and the cleanup is minimal. though i would still recommend using healing ointments after taking the saniderm off in 1-2 days since it just protects the skin so much more. my first tattoo artist recommended me this japanese ointment you can get from drug stores and i've been using it ever since.. don't think i've heard anyone else use it before though lol 🐑
What's ointment??
I've only used it once but I did notice it healing at least a few days faster and the color is better than other tattoos that healed traditionally
I'm getting my first ever tattoos in July so I thought I'd do my research whilst I'm waiting. I always thought the ink sacs on TikTok were skin, not this Saniderm. 😅 I'll definitely be trying this out.
There are hundreds of healing creams available now. I used Otzi tattoo cream on my last one. It did a great job. Bepanthen make a special tattoo ointment now but i prefer creams because they are easier to apply and less messy.
🐑 Thank you just got my first new tattoo at megacon Orlando Florida March 30th 2023. Using Saniderm. Thanks for this Video 📸
I've gotten two tattoos and both of them were covered with saniderm and it is the best because it's so easy to heal, I left it on for 1 week on the first tattoo and three days on the second tattoo both times the tattoo had healed well without me needing to do anything else. Also take it off in the shower because it doesn't lose any of its stickyness.
Just to confirm, you took the Saniderm off after 7 days? Do you have any advice for taking it off in the shower? Thanks in advance!
@@FTW_666 for the first one yes, the artist I got the second one of recommended only 3 days so that's what I did, and as for taking it off I just pointed the shower head at it and just wiggled off as much as I could which wasn't a lot as it took me around 20 minutes to get it all off
I recently healed for the first time using the dry method. I loved it! Just great experience. My next healing method would be the tegaderm/Sani.
🐑For two of my tattoos, the artist used something like Saniderm and they definitely healed better than my other tatts
i got my first tattoo yesterday and just took off the saniderm! since i got a really simple design that was mainly lines i didnt get an ink sac... which i am surprisingly disappointed about. guess that means i have to go all out next time for the sake of funny globs of ink :D
🐑 your channel is quite entertaining and is full of great info
Thank you!! 🤗
Never used saniderm, but definitely heard that aquaphor and vaseline were a no-no. Redemption Tattoo Aftercare has been good for me over the years, but I might give saniderm a try in a few months for my next tattoo. Thanks.
Vaseline is a no-no but aquaphor is pretty good
I'm curious how it's breathable yet so waterproof! Definitely interesting
When I got my stomach lined, I used traditional method and it felt like 2.5 weeks before it was “healed”, with the shading (packed black) I’m using saniderm and it feels healed after 2 days.
🐑 Love this! I’m healing with Saniderm now and it is definitely the best!
My very first tattoo the artist used saniderm. Definitely easier, but there’s something about the traditional healing process I like more oddly enough
I got saniderm for my first tattoo and I got a scar where a corner of it came unstuck and would not stick back onto me. The little scar faded recently after about 3 years. I've used it about 3-4 more times since then and each time my skin gets slightly raised, red, and iritated for about 3-5 days after I take it off. I really like saniderm because it's easy, but my skin does not. So I have to go the "traditional" route to avoid the potential for scaring and the iritation.
This stuff is awesome on burns and other wounds too. I use it on my feeding tube stoma and it works so good at preventing infections.
This was a super helpful video... THANKS!
I recently found out about your channel. Just wanted to say that you are gorgeous and have an incredibly calming presence
This was an amazing and informative video! Thank you 😀 Starting my lower arm sleeve in 4 days and are planning on testing Tegaderm for the first time (we don't have Saniderm in my country).
This is my second experience with saniderm, however within the first 24 hours I could see the plasma build up from simple minimalist work to a lot of black fluid/smear. Fingers crossed for the best outcome. Thank you for this video.🐑
Mine 2nd tat is doing this right now! Did everything work out and how long did you keep the saniderm on with the fluid build up?
The biggest thing is take it off in the direction of hair growth and never ever take it off dry! Take it off in the shower after you've been in there for a few minutes. I take it off at the end of my shower. It freaks me out when people remove it dry!
Saniderm works MAGIC on small tattoos for sure, in my experience if you leave it on for a few days the tattoo is basically healed up by the time it has to come off!
🐑 I'm getting ready for my first tattoo, so your videos are really helpful ;) Thanks!
Dont.
I love saniderm, least I don't get ink on my bed sheets anymore 😂
love the tips. i just got my first tattoo, thanks. i love your vids btw
I don't think we have this is Spain? I'm dealing with transparent film and washing right now :'/
Love the research of your videos!
Creo que sí, aunque quizá no sea la misma marca. El tatuador lo usó para cubrir y curar mi primer tatuaje (hará unos 3 años ya)
En españa no conozco a casi ningún/a tatuador/a que lo use porque realmente dicen que no funciona tan bien como dicen. Si tienes la piel sensible hace reacción y te inflama la zona y sólo te sirve para las primeras horas. Puede ser transpirable pero no deja de ser plástico en la piel, no es lo mismo que llevarlo al aire con aquaphor o solar...
I have healed 4 tattoos with Saniderm and I’m not going back. It has made the whole process easier and faster. I feel bad for the people with allergic reactions. 🐑
I love saniderm! It healed my thigh piece amazingly but I think I have a slight adhesive sensitivity after reading the comments. It was only on the outer edge and didn't affect the tattoo at all but I did have a dark line everywhere the edge touched only on one side. I lightened the dark mark with cream and after a couple of months the line was very faint. Is it bad that I would use saniderm again because healing tattoos the traditional way is a Pain in my behind?!
I'm using Cetaphil, A&D ointment along with love and kindness! Around day five switching to a light gloss of African Shea Butter! I didn't rewrap My Tattoo after Day 2 gently washing of My Beautiful foot Tattoo coverup!
I have never not healed a tattoo using saniderm (or a product just like it) ive never had a tattoo take over a week and a half to heal even on the one i took the saniderm off early. Its so much easier and cleaner to use and i dont have to worry about leakage. I'm a hairdresser and i dont have to worry about getting hair and harmful hair products on/in my new tattoo. After i get to the scabby itchy phase i bring some antiseptic spray with lidocaine in it called "bactine max" and after each/every other client i rinse my tattoo and spray that to make sure I didn't get anything on it and its nice and clean.
🐑🐐🐇🐈🐏Love and well wishes sent from Louisiana! I enjoyed this video and the examples of your progress that you showed.
Your hand tattoo is bloody awesome. I've got tegaderm on now on a half sleeve (2nd phase) . It's a bastard to cover but i managed it 😂 4 days to go (out of 6) and I'm looking forward to giving my arm a good old wash. Feels good, minimal inflammation now gone, looks crisp. Thanks for this great vid x
So I’m 16 and got this beautiful piece of 6 butterflies down my forearm and I’m so in love with the tattoo. I was concerned about the liquid that was coming from it but you cleared up so much for me. Thank you for the amazing video
ive never used an ointment. only ever cleaned and moisturized and never had an issue
My artist used saniderm on my latest tattoos. Pretty good experience with no reaction to adhesive however even though I was super careful, slow and used water when removing it, I had slight bruising on a very small part of a sensitive area around my armpit. The clean skin, not the tattooed area. It seems to be clearing but super slow. Have you ever experienced this? I'm fairly new to tattooing. How long before I can sleep on a newish tattoo? I'm slept on my back for 10 days and its not very comfortable. I enjoy your videos. Very informative. Thank you.
My tattooist changed from saniderm to yayo and the difference is incredible saniderm was awful for me personally the healing was super slow whilst I didn't have a allergic reaction I did have nothing but problems with it skin wise bruised af real slow to heal and generally not what should happen. Since changing to yayo it's honestly perfect no ink sacks no bruising it can breathe without stuff being able to get in it and helps heal it 10x quicker and a dream to soak off I highly recommend that
I kept the Saniderm for 4 days. And I'm on the 2nd day of the lotion process 2 times a day. I'm on day 6 of healing and so far minor itching and no scabbing yet.
🐑 Thanks! I’m getting my first tattoo soon so I’ve been researching a lot and your video was very helpful :) 🐑
Dont do bro, u are young, ill destroy ur carer
It's almost 24 hours after my tattoo and about to remove my first round. Do I have to put a moisturizer before wrapping the second time? Thank God I found this video about saniderm, i think I'll go with this rather than traditional healing to prevent me from scratching it. 🐑
Not sure if this will be useful to any one, but I used saniderm when I was out of the country. Forgot my group scheduled a boat joy ride involving a banana balloon raft/ hours of swimming. I was worried my tattoo would get infected since it was two days fresh,and I was gonna be doing some beach activities. However, but I took the risk, and wrapped Saniderm over my tattoo, went swimming in some deep water, got pulled by a boat while on a tube, got flipped offthe tube, did water activities lasting roughly 4-5 hours. Finished the day with some touring the city/ eating, got to my hotel thinking to see some irritation, but no redness or infections. Literally no sand,dirt, or excessive moisture inside the saniderm. So if you guys end up in a situation where you just might have to swim with a new tattoo, it would probably be best not to do what I did so your chances of infection are at a 0, but if you can’t help it, please try saniderm.
ive used Saniderm on both my sleeves left and right.. and can say it DEFINITELY decrease healing times. saniderm i roughly take 8 days to heal (peeling and all). I tried with traditional and by the time Saniderm is done.. regular way im still peeling
based on your comment, I think you meant "decreases healing times" not increases. You probably meant increases healing speed. It just looked like you were against saniderm for the first half of your comment😅
@@huonsmith correct 🙏 haha thanks for catching the mistake 😅. But yeah i approve of Saniderm :)
I got tatted in another country and my artist put saniderm on me, and I was clueless as to how it was supposed to heal with no lotion. Then I got an allergic reaction and removed it two days later and damn it hurt and also pulled some of my tattoo off :( My artist was sweet and fixed me up and I only heal the "old fashioned way" now.
I can see the pinned comment by Jam Straight and I second this! I can't leave a bandaid on for more than two hours or it'll start to itch, be mindful of saniderm if you have even just a tiny bit of allergies to adhesives
My tattoo healed great with tegaderm, but 3 months after I was out in the sun for an hour and it hurt soooo bad for the next week; it didn't look burnt but I'm not sure what else could have been going on 🤷♂️ . Tege/saniderm is great though, I just keep it around for general use now
Your tattoos should always have sunscreen on no matter how old. They are also sensitive to sunlight for the first few months and can lose color.
🐑 Love Saniderm; way easier to heal and keep your skin hydrated the first few days. Definitely less itchy than tattoos I've healed without it. The adhesive does bother my skin to a degree, but it's tolerable for the 5-6 days and just leaves the skin around the edge a little red. (I've had more of a reaction from traditional Band-Aid adhesive than Saniderm.) Both Mad Rabbit and People of Substance make great tattoo balms, too.
🐏 I had finished a whole roll of secondskin and a roll of dermalize. They both didn't stick the greatest to skin. I would always find mild leakage of ink & plasma after the first 12hrs of getting tattooed. But these 2 brands never caused me any form of allergic reactions. Since finishing those 2 brands, I got a roll of saniderm last month and used it (without patch testing in advance, very stupid) on a little black tattoo on my arm and a 6hr big black & grey piece on my back. The giant piece of saniderm on my back was totally fine, I left it on for 5 days. My back tattoo healed amazingly. However, the much smaller piece of saniderm on my arm caused a red and angry blister along its border. I stupidly left the saniderm on for 3 days despite the blister 😂 I was just relieve that my new small tattoo was left intact. But there was a red mark the same length of the new tattoo on otherwise healthy, untattooed skin.
I've always used bepanthen (pretty common in the UK) but so many people recommend Saniderm so am going to give it a go next. Thanks for the vid!
I just read an amazon review about “irritation” caused by the residue but she admitted she changed it 5 times in 5 days then saw redness
Great video! I wish you would have given your experience with saniderm though rather than reading through the website❤️
That was a great video!!
Thank you for your knowledge!
I just followed my tattoo artist and kept it on for 5 days , its so easy and you don't have worry about sleeping a certain way and you can shower with ease.
Its a game changer, and makes life so easy
its b**** to remove so be careful when removing it
Second skin really irritated my skin. My artist told me to keep it on for 3 days and after 2 days I broke out all around the tattoo (tattoo was on my back and I never breakout there). My skin became pumpy and reddish and it started going away after I took off the second skin. Breakout didn’t affect my tattoo luckily but made me concerned it would.
Well said and educational. You did a very good job and informed me of things to know 🐑
Sandier was great because my tattoo didn’t scab at all, however I’m more comfortable with washing and applying lotion multiple times a day for about a week
i got 3 tattoos this in 1 month 2 size 10x10 and 1 size 10x16 and i dont use anything for 2 weeks. im planning to use aftercare balm to make the black color more black.
🐑 great informative video! Subscribed 👍🏽
I never thought the words "oozes plasma" could be pronounced in such a cute way... 🐑
Just got a new tattoo last week and kept my saniderm for about a week. The edges around the saniderm always gives my skin minor abrasions from friction, but thats the only negative I can think of! I'm not sure if its normal but my tattoo has been peeling for a few days now.
I got a new tattoo last week as well and used Saniderm, mine is peeling too. It’s normal :)
Did you keep the first one on for a week? Or did you take it off
Definitely trying this on my next tat. Thanks for the info. 🐑
Definitley gonna give Saniderm a try. Been using something similar for more than a year now. But this product looks much more intended for tattoos. And thank you so much for your (very) informative videos about the different topics about/inside tattooing, and your charming charisma aswell. Much love from germany (@noirstreets) 🐑
Just got my tattoo today my Artist told me to keep it on for 6 days and keep this in mind this is the first Bandage and everyone is saying to keep the first one on into 8 hrs or 24 hrs then remove it clean your arm then add the second one into 48 Hrs at this moment I am kinda lost lol
Same here!!! How did it go for you??
@@henriqueblackops well if I am honest 10 months now with the tattoo never got infected but what I did was with the bandage I kept it on for a 4 days then took it off then started to put lotion on it and so on
@@mrclassix2002 Awesome!!! I’m happy that everything went well for you! So you only used the first Saniderm that your tattoo artist used and never replaced right? Because I’m going through the same thing, my tattoo didn’t release any ink or any plasma, it’s completely dry and my artist told me I could leave for 5 days… But now seeing everyone saying that you have to replace it in 24 hours is making me worried that it is going to get infected or something…
@@henriqueblackops yes I kept it never took it off, IF by any chance you start to see leaking from your bandage or you start to have a lot of liquid from your blood then yes remove it , clean your area where you got the tattoo with sensitive soap or antibacterial soap on the area not too rough and apply a new bandage the next day and let your tattoo area breathe “ ONLY IF IT HAVES ALOT OF LIQUID “
@@henriqueblackops but yes leave it for 5 days , if you start to see anything take it off and clean it
looking into this method of healing. getting ready to tattoo my upper arms. like the idea of protecting the area under my work shirts. I am going to give this a try. thanx for the info 👍 😀
🐑
Lol my tattoo artist always uses “saniderm” (she uses a different brand) and yeah, i have highly sensitive skin, eczema etc, however when i peel it off, i dont have any irritation (other that what you would expect from peeling tape essentially off your skin) no eczema flare ups etc
I love your new tattoo!
I think this is the same this as adhesive IV bags ,nice I don’t have to spend money on them. I’ll get them at work lol
