ManlyManTv Im allergic to BZK so every artist has told me I can’t get one, is this true 🥺🥺🥺
Can you please do a video on neck tattoos im planing on a epic galaxy jigsaw design and i dont wanna mess it up x3
I just got my tattoo earlier today and can I wrap it in cling wrap before sleeping with it or how should I or what's the best way to sleep with it?
If u can answer that would be very much appreciated thankyou ~ manly man tv
I just got a tattoo 13 days ago on my forearm and my muscle is sore does this have to do with the way I sleep? I do sleep very uncomfortable. There’s no infection it looks perfectly fine and peeling and healing.
You do a good job with this channel and I am a collector. I have 14 tats and counting. To be honest I never had a problem with sleeping with a fresh tat. Never got infected or ruined. Live your life ppl don’t be paranoid. The tat will
Be there when you wake up.
Thank you for your kind words!
needed this thanks
Your video has been like the perfect reminders off Do’s and Dont’s..while I have tattoo sessions right around the corner
Lol glad I can help!
I’ve watched loads of your videos the last few days after having had my tattoo. They are great, but the more I watch them, the more things I find I’ve been doing wrong. There are so many rules with aftercare I doubt anyone gets nothing wrong at all!
got a big tattoo took 8 hours . i woke up with all the symptoms of a hangover lol
just did a 7 hour session and same lol its the third day and I still feel like shit
@@kid_mesc I had my forearm done not even that long of a session but I felt like shit for like 5 days
@@butterb7925 how do you feel 2 months after
@@Dboss74 yeah pretty good I went back and got another and did some shading 3 weeks ago I had a migraine for the first day but nothing else since
I did a full day blackout session the day before yesterday, and got home at 7pm. Went for a “nap” and slept till 5am. I was messed up.
Awesome video I'm getting my first tattoo in September and these tips are very helpful. Thank you
No problem! I’m happy you enjoyed the video/content!
Got my first tattoo today love your videos they are gonna help me through the healing process and make my tattoo heal great
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the content 😬🤟🏼
Glad you made this bro !!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this useful information!!❤
Of course! I appreciate you watching my videos!
@@EvolveINK 🥰
Saniderm is awesome to avoid a lot of these issues. Only problem is when it's on a spot that you move a lot, it might peel off a little earlier than you'd like. Just got a decent sized shoulder piece done and some of the edges have revealed the ink because of how much I move it.
It's not comfortable on the neck. 😒
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Lol happy you liked it!
very helpful. got my first tattoo earlier. thank you!
Congrats on the new tattoo! Yeah there is a lot that goes into getting a tattoo. But you’re in the right place. Welcome!
Sick video as usual man
Thank you! Happy you like it!
Dude I love your little side clips like the close up drinking water that shit was perfect 🤣. Love your vids always bro
Lol always try to spice it up and make it as interesting as possible for you guys to watch. Thank you!
It’s awesome!! Keep it up bro I bet you have fun with it too huh lol
I have about 70% of my body tattooed and personally I haven’t had any issues sleeping normal after being tattooed. I remember when I first started getting tattooed I was trying to be so careful when sleeping but after a while I realized that I was totally over thinking the whole situation. Now it’s just a normal thing and I have never had any healing issues.
my artist didn’t give me a second skin. today is day 4 of my first tattoo (inner forearm) i cannot get comfortable no matter what i try man.
@@alyssavoorhees3712 I did the same with my first few tats. You can buy second skins like Derm Shield or Santiderm and apply them yourself after you do the first cleaning of your tattoo when you get home.
Any tips for full back tattoo, for sleep and care? Im having my first in two weeks :D@@gagunshooting803
Great tips they will help me alot, thanks
Really appreciate you checking out the content!
Actually, my tattoo artist recommended I leave the bandage on overnight and wash it gently the next morning. Then wait another entire day before putting lotion on... Just shows how much opinions vary on the subject. 🤔🙄
Oh yeah, everybody has a different method of doing things. I have a lot of trial and error with my tattoos but I perfected my system to make all my tattoos heal perfectly
Just got my first ever tattoo and it’s a big tattoo, I did the pillow method before watching this vid 😎just wished I was smart enough to use darker covers lol but great video 👍🏼
I’m telling yall right now it really is annoying not being able to sleep comfortable and annoying to have the patience for it to heal then actually getting the tattoo done lmao
I just got an upper arm blackout sleeve two days ago, and I’m really struggling with sleep. I can’t move my arm much, never mind get it in a position where it’s not touching anything
Clean towels are useful to add to your bed, particularly if its on a juicy place (i.e fleshy parts like armpits)
Using Tegaderm/Saniderm for my last 3 tattoos has been a miracle! Really helps considering it’s on the first 5 days and I don’t have to worry about touching it while sleeping (but I still have to sleep in a comfortable position where I’m not on it).
Thanks for sharing!
How do you use saniderm
I had that too but it's really uncomfortable on the neck lol... I had to take it off after 24 hours, it was peeling on the backside and pulling my hair, and itching...
@OJWTH-cam it does. That’s why saniderm is awesome. It still lets oxygen through to the skin. Hence why it’s also used for the healing process of burns and other wounds. Just acts as a protective barrier from germs etc
@OJWTH-cam I did have a bad experience once where the color DID come out. Since my original comment 2 years ago, I’ve gotten about 5 more tattoos and used saniderm with all. Healed perfectly and still look great.
Thankyou man u have helped me with what I should do with my new tatoo
Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed the video 🐺💉
Dude when can u put a blanket over me its day 6
me watching this while wearing a breathable tattoo sleeve on my two day old tattoo because my artist said it was ok as long as i put ointment on it first, debating whether or not to take it off
Got my whole forearm done, for how long should I wait putting pressure on it? I like resting my forearms on my desk while being on my computer
The first two nights I put on plastic over it just because I don't trust myself. It worked out fine for me last time but I don't know if this would be great for everyone.
This is my plan too
I got my daughters portrait last Tuesday and about three days in,I was dead asleep and woke up in pain because I scratched the shit out of it just once but enough to where I woke up and regretted right away ,no damage it just hurt and stung really bad
Yeah I did this a few times. The area is just so damn tender and sensitive after a tattoo it will wake you up!
Hey Mike, i slept like that at first like you did at 4:04 with my new tattoo but it made my arm tired to just hang like that so i moisturized and cover my tattoo with food wrapping plastic around my arm so i can sleep the way i use to sleep.
Hm, how did it heal?
@@EvolveINK it healed good, i felt less itching and my arm doesn't touch the bed or blanket so it felt great and i just keep my tatto hydrated all the time til it fully heal
@@EvolveINK when it fully heal and it does no longer itching then you can sleep without the plastic wrapping
@@EvolveINK well that's what my artist said to keep my tattoo hydrated for it to look good when it fully healed, it will look bad if i dry healed my tattoo
what would you recommend for a tattoo on the hip? would it be better to wear loose fitting shorts to keep a blanket from rubbing it or would it be better with just the blanket for more airflow? (Sadly sleeping in the birthday suit without a cover is less than favorable for me lol)
also sucks when you get multiple tattoos in one session and don't know which way to sleep lmao
Lol I just recently got my sleeve done and the last session was A LOT. Of ink at once lol. Was not fun to sleep 😂
Got my second tattoo two days ago and started the healing process yesterday and me being stupid slept in a white t shirt with a new big all black shoulder tattoo. Woke up with ink all over the inside of my shirt.
See I’m one of those people, that likes to be completely covered with the blanket, and I’m also a deep, deep sleeper. Like, I remember while on vacation, my family all screamed at me, and shook me violently to wake me up, but I was still sleeping. I have train tracks right behind my house, so I’m already used to sleeping through sounds. So I’m worried once I get my first tattoo, sleep, roll over on it, and not wake up. The pillow idea sounds like it’d work a lot for me since whatever position I sleep in is never the same one I wake up in.
The pillow trick always works! Trust me you’ll wake up if you roll on it lol
@@EvolveINK Pillow trick it is. And I hope lol. Your videos have been helping me research tattoos.
I just got a new tattoo on my arm so I just use an extra pillow and prop my arm up so it gets air and isn't touching anything.
Getting my first one soon so thank you cause I’m a horrible sleeper😂
Lol no problem! It’s good you are doing your research 👍🏻
What's sucks is when you get a huge chest piece and you're a stomach sleeper. It takes me literally almost 2 hours to finally fall asleep on my back. Sleep sucks right now. I'm on Day 4 so not much longer to go I can see the finish line lol
Lol it really does suck! But at least you only have a few days left 😂
You might try a soft whispering type asmr on loop (if you don't have ads, I have youtube premium) and earbuds, it helps me out... just an idea
@@redzgirl2476 white noise definitely helped me get thru that week. But then shortly after I got my upper arm sleeved lol I regret nothing
When I got my sleeve, I tore off a long section of paper towels and tucked it under my arm, so my arm wouldn't touch the bedding. Believe me I kept waking up bc I was so aware and kept checking to make sure the paper towel hadn't moved. It worked great!
I'm thinking about using a clean towel.. for my half sleeve. Elbow to wrist... peeling off the seniderm tonight after 4 days
Thanks for the tip!
I just got a leg tattoo yesterday and man sleeping was so uncomfortable I didn’t know what position to get into 😩
Yeah it’s the worst! But you gotta do what you gotta do 😂
as a side sleeper who just got a pretty large bicep tattoo, saniderm save my ass. i did keep off of it for about 3 nights as best as i could, but found myself sleeping on it anyway a couple times.
Just got one on Saturday and my guy put on the Saniderm bandage 👌 Eliminated all of my woes
I been hearing mixed things about saniderm but I wanna try it out myself lol
@@EvolveINK it's not terrible but it's not great, it's good for places that dont bed, like forearm, but on the upper half of your arm where it bends, it starts to sweat more and the saniderm just doesn't stick for me, also taking it off is usually a bitch, feels like it'll probably slow down the healing process, I'll probably still use it until I find something with a less aggressive adhesive
I can't believe I never thought of this
That’s what I am here for lol
Sooo, I got two chest pieces touched up AND got my first tattoo on the back side of my body, (my neck). Two worst places to get tattooed at the same time for sleeping. Did not think this through well at all though my tattoos are super cool. I've been trying to sleep on my side but I can't even cuddle up to my pillow properly because my tattoos go up to my shoulders.
I am dying, dude. I have barely been sleeping at all at night. This sounds so dumb even as I type it out but do you have ANY suggestions on how to make this situation easier?
Curious, what did you end up doing?
I got the JoJo birthmark star on my left back shoulder. The tattoo artist put a type of tattoo tape on it and recommended I leave it on for 3-5 days. The thing is, I'm a side sleeper, will sleeping on my tattoo ruin it??
So If I am a back sleeper and I pretty much sleep everynight on my back lol I'm so use to sleeping on my back.. what do I suppose to do in the future when I plan on getting a relatively big size tattoo on my back?
For the first couple of days you’ll just have to bite the bullet and sleep on your stomach
My tattoo was good first and second day, 3rd day my tattoo artist finished the other half and he put numbing spray. Now still the 3rd day I could not sleep because it’s been itching me all night I have been going crazy all night. Im praying it’s not infected
i just got my first tattoo and the aftercare was even more worse than the pain while getting tattoed... i slept 1 week on the couch, worked better for me than the bed... right now the have like 30°C here in germany and i cant even go outside anymore, its hot, the sun is shining and i dont want to wear long sleeve, i would just swet and ruin my tattoo..
Honestly, i took myeself ecpecially for the tattoo 2 weeks off from work and i could not done it better.. i cannot imagine how to handle this properly while working...do your self and your tattoo a favour, if you are getting a bigger tatto, do it during your holidays!
Healing a tattoo is always worse then actually getting it in my
Option lol
@@EvolveINK got a spine tattoo. The peeling phase comes to an end, and the fresh skin is very sensetive. When do you think, that I can sleep on my Back again?? (Got the tattoo 12 days ago)
Not sure if anyone can relate but I remember waking up from being dead asleep and completely forgetting I had a fresh tattoo and just scratching the hell out of it.
Damn near had a panic attack! Luckily, I didn't ruin it haha
This happened to me before and also had a panic attack lol
loool
I did the same thing last week I woke up and my new tattoo was really itchy and since I was half asleep I just scratched it...when I realised I nearly screamed xD But it did heal well tho
this happened to me too! i keep scratching my other arm so my brain just automatically goes to scratch the other one
Just got my back tattoo yesterday with 2 wings, decent size and cant sleep that good
Sleeping in a tattoo is one of the worst things about getting them! It gets better over time lol
This is probably why I’m gonna get a small tattoo first just to kinda get used to it then later get a bigger one
my tattoo looks a bit dull, but only were the colour has been filled in. but I think I'm over thinking
Instead of a blanket could I use a sheet cover since it's thin and allows for air flow?
I used to follow the advice of never letting it touch anything and I have to say I disagree with you man. I see no difference. I could even make the case it healed faster than it used to when I kept it free from being touched. I got a large tattoo on my bicep/shoulder and the only parts that ever tried to scab and heal badly were the parts I left exposed. I'd hide my arm under my pillow and it felt better to sleep on, on top of it healing better in general. But I outside of that. Thanks for the video! Love ya man
So I’m getting a new tattoo on Friday when I go to sleep can I put plastic wrap on it ? all I own is light sheets
I recently got a tattoo on my left bicep and I’ve don’t everything on the check list, I’ve been wearing a loose T shirt when sleeping, but should I sleep shirtless???
i have gotten a back piece 3 days ago and it stuck to my clothes when i was asleep for the 2 nights, but i dont see alot of residue coming out. The scab is thicker than my other pieces that i had and it still have a little stinging pain at the part where was stuck to the shirt once in a while , does it affect the healing?
It could if the scab was deep enough in your skin. Once your tattoo is fully healed ask someone or your tattoo artist to examine your tattoo to see if you need. A tattoo touch up.it’s not a big deal if you need one.
Back tattoos would be awesome for me, as I ALWAYS sleep on my stomach lol. I also sleep without a shirt 😂
Its 3am I can’t sleep because of my tattoo TH-cam recommended the perfect video 😂
So oka.. i got fresh tattoo right. She put a plaster on it and said to leave it on til day 3-4 is all good I'm on day 0 and I'm looking at these how to sleep with it (it's on my hip got a pillow under my knee cuz it felt like i was stretching my fresh wound/plaster and idk how to feel about that) and mine isn't sore in an uncomfortable way it's just warm mainly and a bit sore when i get up after sitting and such but it doesn't hurt to lay straight on the tattoo and I'm just wondering if it's okay to lay on it ☺️🤔
Hello! I am planning on getting a full black and grey sleeve this fall during college. What would be the best way to sleep since it is a full sleeve I am worried that I would lose ink. By the way, it will be my first tattoo.
Well like I addressed in this video you want to make sure you keep it away from
Touching anything. You might have to sleep a little awkward the first couple of days but then you’ll be fine
lmao literally what the whole video is about
If you do get fluids on your sheets, may I recommend Zout spray/concentrate? It removes proteins better than anything else I’ve tried.
Never heard of that one before! Thank you so much shanti!
So basically before my tattoo should change my bed sheets?
I’m planning to get a shark tattoo on my whole upper back. Any tips ? Or tips for sleeping at night and not rolling over ??
I recently got a piece on my forearm almost 2 weeks ago but a few days ago it feels like it’s swollen a little during the peeling stage but there has been no signs of redness is this fine?
How about second skin? Does it affect it?
Got a half sleeve. And im taking off the seniderm today. Theres no way to avoid touching the tattoo on the bed lol. Unless i tie a string to the ceiling and hang feom the wrist
Where did you get that strobe light on your wall mate?
Hey, quick question can you drink other than water? When u get your new tatto? Example Apple juice/energy drinks? Etc or is water best? Taking my first tatto tommorow btw :) kinda nervous
I love drinking juice before. The sugar will help you deal with the pain of the tattoo and cause you to not pass out. I would recommend staying away from any drink that have caffeine because it can thin your blood. Hope it helps!
@@EvolveINK got my tatto today actually :) i love it, and thanks for the addvice. :)
Hey bro I'm only 15 and in my culture as you may know which is maori we get ta mokos and it's more line work then shading. The moral of my story is I'm getting my tattoo on December 3rd in 2022 and I basically wear tshirts all day I don't wear hoodies because that's me but I'll make sure when I go out in2 the sun to cover it up thanks for the advice
so i got my first tat on my forearm, about a week into healing. ive been plastic wrapping it every night when i sleep and while im at work seeing as i do physical work. is it bad suffocating it that much of the day?
yeah i wouldnt recommmend re wraping the tattoo because it can do more harm then good. if you were to use a product like saniderm then that is perfectly fine because that wrap will protect your tattoo as well the bandage is breathable. i actually made a whole new video on how i heal all my tattoos and protect them while i sleep. check it out here if you like :) th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.html
Yea as I ended up nearly losing my life with sepsis ! So very INPORTANT ! First they where going to cut of my arm . A was very lucky
What if your using saniderm tattoo after care bandage that you leave on for 7 days do these rules still apply
You still want to make sure you drinking a lot of water, also even if it is wrapped up you don’t want to sleep on it.
If I get a tattoo and then I go the gym and get bulk or skinny, does this body transformation affects the tattoo???
Would wrapping in clear film before bed be a bad idea ??
Where did you get the Halo and Spider-man poster in the background from?
The halo poster is from amazon. My buddy got me that spider man thing from somewhere idk lol
Can i stop my tatoo from itching?? Maybe some ointment or something like that?😅
TFW you make sure to be 100% careful keeping your new ink out of the sun and applying lotion just to catch yourself scratching tf out of it in your sleep
Oh yeah for sure. We talk a lot about that on the channel. The sun is a tattoo killer for sure
I keep clingfilm on my new tattoo for 3 days change it each day though.
How should I sleep if I get a tattoo on my upper forearm near my elbow?
I had such a bad night, my first night, cuz i kept worrying i was gonna get it stuck on my blanket or sheets 😿
I have a new tattoo on my elbow and I’m trying not to put pressure on it during the day and it’s a nightmare
how can I avoid scratching my tattoo while sleeping?? Usually I forgot about my new tattoo and Scratch it because it itches (while im sleeping)
Same
What's best for night 4 on a head tattoo when it comes to wrapping. Thank u
Have you tried saniderm? I would recommend doing this way of healing your tattoo th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z33X7CenU9zYQzdK
I've been having to sleep on my back with my hand above my head on a pillow. It's not terrible but I usually sleep on my stomach or side and I always wanna be all wrapped up in blankets 😭
Just got my tat today
got my tattoo 2 weeks ago and i was wondering if it's ok to sleep normally now and all of the flakes peeled off my tattoo
You can do that but it is not necessary. I personally shave my tattoos once a week and that makes them look awesome!
@@EvolveINK When do you recommend shaving after getting one and after the 2 week mark of a tattoo can you sleep normally?
I gotta find away to sleep with a inner bicep tattoo.....this will suck
Hey Here because I just got a big piece and sleeping sucks rn
I’m sleeping with a tattoo right now too. It’s suckssss
So when my skin starts to flake.. And stuff like that.. That's all normal? Ill probably, when I see it. I'll probably be like oh crap.. The detail is gonna fade.. But I'm just probably stupid saying that. But since the skin flakes and falls off.. Does that mean the detail is falling off...
Those flakes are perfectly normal! But you need to make sure you’re doing the right things during this part of the healing process. Take a look at this video here! th-cam.com/video/51uwwkxRQZE/w-d-xo.html
@@EvolveINK so iv just watched it. Thank you for that education. With the peeling where some parts of the skin coming off.. This won't take detail out will it? Or is it just new skin coming in?
Lol I just got one and my first one on my arm and my god it is difficult to try to sleep with it 🤣🤣 I had to hold my arm out then I wake up and my arm is almost under the pillow but not completely
Sleeping on a fresh tattoo is annoying but for me its wearing a tshirt when I have to get to my job any suggestions tho?
Wear as loose fitting close as possible. That’s really the only thing you can do
That is super annoying btw lol
My dog was in my bed for my 1/2 sleeves 13 and 12 years ago. She'll be there in a week when I get another.
Just got a tattoo a few hours ago. Currently in bed 🤣
Nice! What did you get?
@@EvolveINK a tattoo of my grandparents
I got my first tattoo on my left forearm. And now I’m thinking how am I going to be able to sleep without ruining it. 😅
Hi! I'm actually getting a new tattoo in this area tomorrow. How did you sleep with it? Thanks in advance!
@@Gore_Jus I was able to have my left arm held up on my bar of my bed I know it may sound weird . 😅 and that’s awesome! What are you getting? 😊
I'm getting a tattoo on the back of my neck, and im a back/side sleeper lol. this is gonna suck
I had a two tattoos last week and one looks fine but the other one looks weird but they were done on the same day do you need whyb
Where they done on 2 separate parts of the body! Different parts of the body heal differently
@@EvolveINK one on my wrist and one on my forearm it's the one on the forearm that's the problem
I’ll probably never get a tattoo on my back because I cannot stand sleeping on my stomach
Yeah but if you get a awesome back piece it will be worth it lol
i have a stomach tatto it still got the film on it can i still sleep on my side
im gonna put on second skin or something along those lines to protect it.
can you wrap it with like ceram wrap and sleep with it or no ?
I wouldn’t recommend it. It could suffocate your tattoo
But what if I have that sticky plastic stuff over it that you pull off in the shower.
Hey i got my tattoo yesterday and my tattoo artist said i should have the plastic on for 5 days is that weird??
Great question! I would say no. I always recommend to remove the wrap when you get home. Reason being the tattoo need to breath to heal. Leaving that wrap on for too long can cause bacteria build up that can infect your tattoo. If it is a product like sanidern then that’s a different story lol
@@EvolveINK thank you and yes its saniderm
Im confused. Can i go back to normal living when its done healing😭☠️
I did my fist night and I tried sleeping And it was bad but I managed to keep the tat safe
At least it was safe lol. It’s always awkward as hell!
