- Using Saniderm OR any other second skin is a great method for the aftercare & healing of a new tattoo. BUT WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO AFRER THE 24H MARK!? Do you continue to LEAVE IT ON for the whole week and have it build up with fluid? OR do you change it after 24 hours, clean the new tattoo area and then reapply a new sheet of second skin? Well i got the answer! Because in this video I have a representative here from Saniderm (one of the top brands in second skins) to better help inform you on this topic and answer this question on whether to leave it on or take it off.

Spot on on your assembly. My artist applied it to my stomach/rib tattoo and told me to remove it on the 6th day. He said I’m really lean muscular and with my skin it wouldn’t be an issue . And he was correct. My tattoo healed in 7 days after he did it and the saniderm worked great . He did say it depends on the person and where the tattoo is done and how
The tattoos that I've used Saniderm with have healed phenomenally!
I love this, I have it on right now and realized I didn’t know when to take it off and I was preparing to dive through a thousand videos to kinda figure out a time frame, but this was so fast and reliable! ❤
😬 Thank you, thank you 👌🏻🥰
This quick vid was actually really informative. Knowing the information Alicia shares with us, it helps so much cos we then have the knowledge to make decisions. Doing what you're told is easy, if your aftercare/heal goes perfectly. But if not, with this info, I'm so much better placed to make the decisions that are gonna aid my ink rather than hinder it. With all the money, pain and time spent on these pieces of art, why not treat them like they're the Mona Lisa. Thank you so much Alicia & @JustINKD
Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for!
I have full color sleeves and a full color chest tattoo. I always use Saniderm. It’s worked perfectly for me. I leave it on for 4 days (regardless if there is some fluid build up) max. One thing I noticed is that y’all are crazy. 😂 Never, ever remove Saniderm unless you’re in the shower with running water. Otherwise, it can be painful to remove while dry. Do yourselves a favor and remove it while in the shower.
Hey brother
My artist coverd my tattoo after 24hrs of tattooing and said to wait for 7-8 days
Today is 5th day
I use soap and water to remove it easier
@@slethex8243Hey man how’d it turn out after 7-8 days with the saniderm? just got my first tat and the artist told me to wait 5-7 days.
THANK YOU, my knee cap tattoo a while ago I had saniderm and I took it off after like a day, dry as fuck and it felt like I was waxing my knee
Thank you for this… I followed the after care and my phoenix looks great! I just got another tattoo and the tattoo artist covered my tattoo with saniderm. I am past the 24 hours but I just ordered some from Amazon tomorrow going to clean it and cover the tattoo.
Great video boss. Straight to the point.
Thanks for the video Justin. It’ll help a lot of people. I did 5 days straight for my first tattoo even with the buildup. That’s what my artist recommended when she gave me DermShield. It healed great. No bad smell from the plasma after the 5 days at all. Only downside-it was just very annoying to peel off even when in the shower to help loosen the adhesive. Then I did the usual wash and lotion during the peeling stage and it looked brilliant after the peeling.
Thanks for the info. How did you get it off? Just kept at it peeling/lifting while in the shower and it eventually came off?
@@fannyasilberman7373 yea that’s pretty much it. Just be careful on spots where it’s really stuck to the tattoo. Just pull from other loose areas as the lukewarm water helps loosen the adhesive on the really stuck parts.
My artist told me to keep this on 7-8 days.
Is it good???
@@slethex8243 that’s longer than I’ve heard even for saniderm but if your artist says 7-8 days I’d say listen to your artist.
@slethex8243 I'd go off what your artist told you, but I think the sweet spot is 4-6 days I'd say.
@odcoordinator1780 So I took off the stuff and the way I did it actually worked, you basically start from the bottom to get a corner up, then you'll pull down which seems counter intuitive but it works, continue pulling down close to the skin if that makes sense and you'll see the plastic lifting up on its own, go slowly. Once all off, you can use coconut oil to take off the rest of the adhesive off, after wash the area with warm water and antibacterial soap. May need to do this with the coconut oil two times to get all the adhesive off =) but worked. Then you do your usual after care.
Omg okay I forgot what my artist said… but he gave me the proper instructions; it came back to me via this video! I have had so many artists tell me to leave it on!
I personally prefer a more traditional healing process but Saniderm is definitely helpful when I’ve had it put on
I use two method: 1) 7 days straight if there's no fluid at all 2) 24 hours+ 6 days if there's fluid. I leave the second sheet 6 days even if there's a small amount of plasma. Perfect healing without any irritation. I have a really slow healing process and very sensitive skin so applying and removing second skin multiple times it's not indicated.
This is smart.
Thanks for the vid , getting my tattoo sleeve in 6 hours.
Helps a lot. Gavin 🇦🇺
This was so useful. Had an ankle tattoo 6 days ago and was worried that it was still oozing. Have arm tattoos before that did not ooze like this one so I was getting so worried. Now I can continue using saniderm with a peace of mind.
Yep. What she said is literally on the box in the instructions. I tell my clients to take it off after 24 hrs, then, IF they have not reacted, they can apply a second piece if wanted but honestly... the first 24 hrs is the most important, the second piece doesn't make much of a difference in my experience.
Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I don’t really care to wear it but the first night.
Do you need to apply ointment on before the 2nd saniderm? I forgot to apply some on mine.
My arm tattoo didn't weep under it but my chest tattoo it hasn't even been 12 hours and it's weeping like crazy. Thanks for making this video!
I’m glad you said that at the end, just got another tattoo and have zero weeping so curious if I should still take it off, good to know👍
I’d leave it on if you’re not experiencing any fluid buildup
What if it's all red and irritated? Should I still leave it on ?
Instant click! Appreciate this video!
This is really helpful thank you
Just used this for the first time it was really good
My artist cleans and applies a second skin and say to leave on for at least 48 hours and if possible 96 hours then remove, clean and moisturise regularly, my tattoos have healed flawlessly with this technique
Exact same for me
Thank you for the bonus tip! It’s been my experience so far.
People saying it hurts taking it off need to look at how they do it, literally doesn’t hurt actually a nice relieving feeling imo
I was doing it correctly but I just have it in a bad place it's right on my rib cage and it's just a big tattoo no matter how I take it off it will hurt😢
I got my first tattoo at megacon Orlando Florida March 3th 2023. Saniderm has been amazing.
Honestly, I usually take it off the next day. I also don’t put on another sheet, I just let it heal and air out. The color seems to hold better if I do it that way. I have A LOT of tattoos and am also working towards a body suit.
Well thank you for sharing your experiences 👊🏼
This was my artists instructions to me as well so I’m glad to know others do it that way. 👍🏻
Do you still have to apply anything other than lotion if you take it off that early?
is it ok to put saniderm/tagaderm to go for a swimming at the beach only? and pull it off after
@@amazingozuz8825 no.
I have done like every single time. When the tattoo is done, I go so fast to home I can, then I go to the shower and put water on it, then I give 2-3 days without anything so the tattoo can breathe and then I put grease to the tattoo (depends how often it will dry). I don't know is this the best way, but every tattoo I have (if I remember right I have +30).
And second quest (sorry if this too personal, but I have think about so many time that what is the thing on your head). If someone have asked it earlier, I haven't seen the video.
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!🤗
I just finished up my sleeve on my left arm. My tattoos have never really oozed or anything, so I leave it on for 4-5 days and it’s good. There is still a little bit of peeling going on, other than that, it’s good. I have done this with my entire sleeve. It seems to work for me.
Same here. No ink or blood oozing with my forearm tattoo.
That’s how mine is looking on day 3 no buildup I shall leave it on until day 5 thanks for the heads up
Same, I am in the process of a full leg sleeve and have used this, left on for 5-6 days and then I just need lotion and soap for a few days and it's perfect. No heavy itching or scabbing either, I love this stuff
Ya same. I finished the last piece of real estate on my arm with some text and it didn't even bleed or ooze into the skin. Wouldn't have been the case on my outer forearm. That oozed and swelled big time. The meatier the area , the less it hurts and less traumatic I find and the quicker it heals. 20 years ago they would tell you to take the bandage off in a few hours. My 20 year old tattoos are just as bright as my 2 year old ones
I have realized after watching a lot of different videos here on TH-cam and hearing what other people have done, that the tattoo artist here in Norway have a little different outlook on second skin that they do in for example the US. I just got a tattoo today and was told to leave it on for 3 hours before taking it off and cleaning it, and not applying another second skin after. This is what I have been told at other tattoo shops as well. The reason they have given me is that the healing will happen easier when you let your tattoo breathe without the layer on top. I have no idea why the opinions are so different, but I always listen to my artist and it has always worked out for me ;)
The way I see it, if your gonna be in a possibly dirty area. Put the second skin on. If you’re at home. Leave it off and let it air dry remembering to keep it moisturized.
So, came after getting my third and first time using saniderm. I love it btw so cool. I only have one piece since it was done at an expo so most of the information I heard was it depended on your desires/how it was working for you. You could either keep it for three or four days or take it off within the first 24 hours. But that was it.
The tatts I used saniderm with healed the best. Will deff use it every time now. I left it on for 4-5 days because I had no fluid build up. Then I washed it and reapplied the saniderm for two more days. In addition to my personal experience, as a nurse this process just makes more sense to me
Did you apply ointment before applying the 2nd saniderm?
@@SkeletalFacePlate no I did not. If you do apply ointment, before applying the saniderm, make sure it does not contain any glycerin/petroleum and only apply a thin layer.
I kept mine on for 10 days straight. My tattoo healed perfectly. Saniderm protected my tattoo while sleeping. Rolling around in bed & scratching it unconsciously is what causes tattoos to become infected.
everyone's different, just have to do what works for you, and what your artist recommends. Mine recommended mine stay on 3-5 days, unless no fluid buildup, 6-7 was fine.
I had no fluid buildup so I took it off after work on day 6 (a Friday) and it's been healing fantastic. on day 11 now and tattoo looks fantastic. There's no one answer that can be applied to everyone! Mine was second Skin brand, not saniderm though. (although they're basically all the same from what I've read)
After you took it off, what did you wash it with & moisturize it with?
i've had both saniderm and normal foil and i definitly prefer saniderm. just makes the healing process a little easier / simpler (and somewhat safer) in my opinion.
edit: when i did use saniderm i just left it on for the first 3 days straight and had absolutely 0 fluid building up inside of it
Thats me. I'm on day 3 right now. Minimal fluid. Little bit of blood here an there. But not like a airbubble full of ink juice. I have a half sleeve elbow to wrist. Taking it off tomorrow after work. So 4 days usuags
@@Leo-zf7neexactly what i got lol i’m on day 3
@@Leo-zf7newhat did you do to it after you took the saniderm off??
How many days have to keep this film??
@@Leo-zf7ne same here buddy half sleev elbow to nuckles
How many days you kept the sanidarm film?
Great video, this is going to help a lot of people.. good looks !
Edit: Bro you Area’s left to cover 😅
I take the wrap of tye 1st day after a couple hrs and I don't rewrap it. I let it breathe and wash it 3 to 4 times a day with anti-bacterial soap and apply some unscented lotion and aquafour to it. Each tattoo I've while applying this care healed up great! My sleeve is vibrant even though it's mostly black and grey.
My artist told me to remove the plastic 3 hours after having applied it but everyone else is telling me 3 days, I’m so lost
I took my first one off after 24 hours put the second one for about 2 days and then didn’t re wrap it. I let mine breathe too and im putting lotion on it 3 times a day. Is it bad that i don’t re wrap it?
I replace up to 3 times. I always replace after the first 8 to 12 hours just because it's usually pretty gross and then I do another assessment after 48 hours to see how the second skin is doing. I usually opt for a third just to keep things as clean as possible and I'll leave that third on for the next 3 to 5 days to get up to 7 days of coverage after being tattooed.
Do you apply ointment before applying the new saniderm?
I got my tattoo last night and everything that came out of the tat has now reabsorbed back into my skin & the Saniderm is tight. My artist said leave on 3-4 days
I basically watch my skin and the tattoo. If it doesn’t have any weeping and I haven’t sweat with it. Then I leave it on 3 days max. Usually by then I’m 75% healed. Or healed enough to where I have 0 peeling. My body heals super fast with tattoos anyway. Well at least if I go to good artist who know what they are doing like I do now. I also ALWAYS take my saniderm off under warm water. It hurts way less.
75% healed within 3 days???
Many thanks 🙏 ❤
Hi! Great content as always. I have a question since you have a lot of tattoos. Do you have that small molds on your skin and if you do did you get tattoed around them or did you also get tattoo on them. Thanks
I don’t have any but if you do than the artist will avoid tattooing them and go arohnd them
My tattoo artist recommends that I use the regular "wash and Bepanthen" method and adviced against second skin. I am however curious about trying Saniderm (or Tegaderm as it's called in my country), but it's quite hard and scary for me to "disregard" my tattoo artists advice and do my own thing 😝
Your tatto artist needs to inform him self a little better
The two tattoos I got and used saniderm were a different style than I normally get so it had a lot less ink. It wasn't super saturated or layered. So mine didn't fill up with fluid at all. My artist did recommend I take it off after 48 hours, but I think I may wait a bit longer on my most recent one (2 days ago). it was pretty painful coming off my first time using saniderm, if I had waited maybe 5 days instead of 2-3 it may not have hurt as bad.
I found this very informative. The rep. did an awesome job!!
💯
How can i reach out to you. I’m having some issues with my hand when it’s wrapped it comes off. It seems like you have good advice on the hand wrap. My third session is next month and i want to go prepared
Iv had a big piece done on my forearm. iv had no fluid, but some ink release its been 6 days since iv had the saniderm on my tattoo artist asked me to keep it on for 7 days im going back to him tomorrow to take it off way much easier than to keep washing it and moisturising it and being worried about scratching it in my sleep if it itches
I put it on before bed at night just to sleep. When I wake up in the morning I take it off and air it out during the day. I do this for 5 to 6 days or until I see that I won’t have any issues sleeping.
Hi I just got a medium size Tattoo I didn’t use any wrapping but can I use Tatoo film after my is coming in the mail on Friday . I got my tattoo yesterday at night
I want to get a robotic/terminator arm sleeve but haven't found a single picture online of something I actually like
So I’ve found that if you peel it up a bit on the edge and then pull out (away from body) think like how a command strip works; no pain, less loss of ink, still heals beautifully
That’s actually how the saniderm rep mentioned to do it in my latest video 😂👌🏼
My dad is getting me a chest piece for my 18 birthday in January, I’ve been watching all your videos to prepare. I had a problem with substance abuse and depression from about the time I was 14, and I can proudly say I have been sober since March. I want to get a realism piece of a Biblically accurate angel (it looks like a creature with like 8 wings and several eyeballs everywhere). Since it’s kind of scary and ugly looking, it’s representing my battle with drugs. Even though what I have done and what I’ve been through may have been ugly and scary at times, I can still use it for good since angels do good works for God. I have been encouraging kids at my school to go sober with me and I have been able to reach some kids because of our similar stories. It’s a lot different hearing a message from someone who has been in the same position as you. I’m so pumped for my first tattoo I am literally counting down the days :)
I love this story and idea ! Good luck.
How's the tattoo doing ?
@@xidigong3381 I just got it scheduled!!! I moved it to my upper back instead of my chest because I have more space to work with there
@@gabesoto3980 can't wait! Happy for you man!
What a great idea for a tattoo, and meaningful to you. I just go my first two tattoos from going through cancer twice. How did your tattoo come out.?
I’ve used it twice and left it on for 7 days without any issues.
I got my small tattoo on a Saturday and applied Saniderm. Kept it on until the following Wednesday (4 days). All oozing was done and tattoo is nice and flush against the skin. No tenderness or itchy and it’s healing nicely and it’s starting to flake as expected. I lap swim so I applied saniderm and got in the pool (day 9). At the end of the hour I noticed the saniderm was halfway off. I cleaned it and lightly applied A&D ointment. Should I be concerned?
You should wait a minimum of 2 weeks to go swimming regardless of saniderm or else you risk infection. Big no no
Ok so I don’t have to put lotion on before applying the next layer of secant skin ?
What I do is leave it for 5 days then take it off in the shower then lotion it . Works for me all the time heals perfect
I wore cling wrap home and washed it before putting sanidem on. First 24 hrs and then 2nd for 5-6 days. Any advice one way or another on not washing before first Saniderm?
Do you need to apply any healing ointment with saniderm? There was no mention in the video so it seems like saniderm is a replacement for that?
Just got my second tat with Saniderm (actually just a touch-up from a tat last summer) and I was planning on taking the bandage off tomorrow morning in the shower which would be 4 days. After watching this I may hold off. I have had absolutely zero fluid buildup under the bandage, which is the same as last time. I did struggle to get the bandage off last summer even in the shower. It tore into several pieces. Any advice on taking it off?
So I have my first tattoo on my forearm and it’s a mixture of black and colors , I have it on for a day and I noticed that it’s coming loose around the sides and there is some leakage not much should I take it off? Or just clean it up and leave it for another day ?
I'm using a different brand than Saniderm for my sleeve - but my artist has me drain it after the first 24 hrs, patch that first piece applied, then leave on for 5 days. I did it and my tattoo healed beautifully! I was scared because everyone was saying to change it before then
Hey brother
Same my artist did after tattooing 24 hrs put the sanidarm Film on my tattoo and said to wait for 7-9 days
have you tried any alternatives? similar product with what is claimed to be the same results as Saniderm. I'm in Australia and my artist swears by MTS brand (Melbourne tattoo supply) but ive noticed many brands that make balms also have their own branded version of a second skin.
Saniderm is just a (brand) name for medical grade foil/film usually meant to hold a bandage or dressing cloth underneath. Any type of medical grade foil/film works for this purpose. Saniderm, tegaderm, hyrdofilm, etc..
What if your second bandage has very slight weeping but isn’t enough to pool
I swear by a product called tatuderm and i use it as followed: first 24hrs after new tattoo, wash and dry with papertowel and apply new derm, i do this for 3 days and on the 3rd night i wash and dry and go straight to hustle butter balm. Two full sleeves and never one scab or scar. Completely healed and done peeling in 7 days
I literally just took mine off my back in the shower hahah funny I’m recommended this video couldn’t reach at a certain point
I left mine on for 2 day at most. Was my first tattoo and have an appointment in less than a month for my second. Yah I may be getting addicted 😬 😅
Did it heal well? I have also had mine on for 2 days and am thinking about taking it off.
@brando9008 so yes I now have 6 tattoos and that's how long I left them on every time
Patiently waiting for you to get a neck tat 😩
Honestly lol I tried finding a tattoo pain reference for my under chin and this dude popped up. I was like “he ain’t even know though” lol
So I didn’t use my first piece of saniderm until 24 hrs after I got tattoo Which was on day 2 I have lil bit of wheeping nothing crazy bare minimum should I take off clean it and install new piece
I always do this. If I have fluid coming out it gets changed. Just got a new one yesterday and has leaked 2 times since getting it.
Just got a piece on my back no leakage weeping bleeding etc it’s still absolutely stuck to the skin but I’d like to get it off is soaking the only way to get the saniderm to release
Just started my sleeve and got my whole upper arm done and am using saniderm. Was first applied by my artist after the session and he said I should keep it on for 4-5 days. After day 2, it was barely hanging on. Loose edges, a little bit of fluid, and a few of the pieces even came off. So on day 3 I removed it, washed it, pat dry with paper towel, and put a new layer on. After a day, there’s no fluid at all, it’s sticking well, so plan to keep it on for around 3 days.
I’m assuming once I reach the itchy/peeling healing stage, I should remove and leave it off, don’t cover it? However, my job requires me to wear a nice, long sleeve shirt all day. I don’t want the shirt to damage the tattoo, but I also don’t want the tattoo to ruin my shirts.
What should I do?
I have tattoo healing on my shoulder right now. I would just make sure you’re washing the tattoo properly and consistently once you take the Saniderm off and let it air out when you can (at night, etc) I had an extremely hard time getting the saniderm adhesive residue off, it finally came off after 6 days.
I’ve seen someone recommend cutting some pantyhose sleeves to cover a tattoo but still allow it to breathe.
I know I’m late to this but for future reference, think about this. If any fluids are leaking out of your bandage, that means the seal is not tight any more. If fluids get out, bacteria can get in and you will be doing more harm than good at that point with the bandage trapping that in there. So if it starts leaking or peeling like you said just take it off under running water, wash lightly with antibacterial fragrance free soap like dial or dove sensitive skin, let air dry completely and then reapply a fresh saniderm. Hope this helps!
Question: this is my first time using this product and my artist told me to leave it on for 2-4 days. It’s day 2 and the plasma/blood is no longer wet but has actually formed into what appears to be a scab. Do I still remove the saniderm as told even with a scab? Or leave it on longer? Thanks!
I would, remove it, wash, and reapply
I’m using it hoping it helps good healing & bc I cut hair don’t want hairs on iy
So my tattoo artist said to leave for 8 days. Today is my 8 day I took it off but it was peeling under, so some of the scabs came out with the saniderm, is this normal? Will this affect my tattoo
So no one seems to touch on this.. when you apply the second skin for the second time, do you put any cream on the tattoo or just soap/wash, then pat dry, then apply the second skin??
I put dermshield on 6pm Saturday..took off Wednesday 6pm .. some skin still flaking is this normal..was a 3 day session
Wait so after the First weak, I should no longer use it?
I just got a new tattoo about a week and a half ago and my artist used Saniderm. First time using it, prior to that we’d use cling wrap and traditional aftercare. I hated Saniderm!! It made my skin breakout where the bandage edges were, and I had a horrible time getting the adhesive off. It literally all just came off finally this evening and that was 6 days ago. Also when I looked up advice online on how to remove Saniderm residue, there was so much conflicting information about different oils/products to use. Luckily I saw a Reddit thread where a tattoo artist commented and said just let it be. I have no interest in using Saniderm again.
It has been reported by several people to me that the breaking out near the edges happens more often than you’d expect but also the tattooed area is always usually fine so it’s nothing serious to worry about. (Depending on how bad the breakout is) as for you removing it, that’s just something you did wrong & a common first timer mistake. It comes off super easy when doing it the way described in the video & as for the leftover adhesive, you’re right there isn’t much information on that and a lot of conflicting information. And that’s why I’ve already talked with saniderm and have gotten a response from them on what to do. (Video will be out soon) I’m sorry your first time using it wasn’t great… but believe me (as I’m literally using it right now) it’s a great product to use when it works with you and not against
@@justinkd thank you for the feedback! Good to know!
My saniderm edges like ate into my skin so it never healed and actually scarred me like I have lines where the saniderm were 😢so I get how you feel.
My son had a similar reaction at the edges of his.
Hi! So I recently got a tattoo and my artist put on Saniderm. She said to leave it on at least 4 days(which I did) My only concern right now was the following day.. I wash my tattoo and notice a black piece fall right off. It’s only in the middle of the tattoo. Everything else looks fine except that area. It like small spot open should I be concerned?
Should’ve just been the peeling which is a natural process after getting a tattoo. Did it heal up nicely after all?
First time im using sandiderm and my artist told me to keep it on for 4 days
Just got another tat yesterday my artist said because it’s a different brand of sanaderm I can keep it on for two weeks (I got some red ink so he said two weeks cause of that) but there’s a lot of blood and ink under it it hasn’t been 24 hours yet maybe 18 what should I do
Change it when it gets to 24 hours
Anyone have issues leaving it on for 5-7 days and it peeling off the scabbing when removed leaving poor ink settlement in the skin? I havent had this just curious if it can happen. Thanks!
What do we do if our tattoo artist doesn't use saniderm (but plastic film or other) but we want to use it at home afterwards?
It is my case, I didn't really know what to do so I let the plastic film on 4 hours like my artist asked, then I cleaned it and put the second skin on that I let there 24h before removing and letting heal traditionally afterwards (after that time the skin is dry so I don't care that much about protecting it or my clothing/bedsheets)
Was I doing the wrong thing, or is it ok?
Thanks for asking this, i was just going to ask the same thing. Honestly I believe it would be fine to use saniderm at any point of the heal as long as it hasn’t started to scab yet but im just assuming curious what justin thinks
Hi Justin, can you please give advise about this question? 😁 Greetings from the Netherlands
if you work in a hopsital just use that good old tegadarm
I have lots of tattoos. Never once has this been used on me until this past Sunday. He said to leave it on for 3-4 days. Up to 7. I have a small script tattoo. And it just has dried blood from the first day. Can I remove it and replace it with a clean one? Or just leave it on there?
You can if you have an extra sheet but if you don’t then just leave it on and it should be fine
I have second skin on. Im on day 3. There is no fluid buildup at all. Its dry where my tattoo area is. I have my entire forearm tattooed. No fluid build up. Everything is dry.
Artists say one thing, saniderm say another...
My best healing was when it managed to stay on for 3 days.
Kept it on 4 days.. tapped out once itching started and felt small bumps raising, took off cleaned as recommended air dried no issue, small bumps went away. I guess everybody skin is different, benefits your not gonna peel or scab.
Bro I kept mine on for 4 days then took off notice I had few rising bumps not to many but like a couple was wondering when you experience yours going away?
Just use water and anti bacterial soap, moving forward..air out best way. What your seeing is most likely clogged hair pores…mine went away in 2 months honestly..
I have used both. I take the saniderm off after a day. All my tattoos haven’t really faded and healed within 2 weeks.
How come sometimes tattoos dont leak any blood or plasma ? Mines been wrapped for 19 hours and no fluid at all 😮
I just started getting them again. My last one was when they wrapped you in Saran Wrap. My guy says to leave it on for the 7 days unless it's coming off itself. If it wells up, make a little slit, drain it, dry the area and patch it. So far only one has done that and it came out great.
I do get pretty itchy under it around day 4.
I did saran wrap on my first tattoo and it turned out like crap.
Just got my first tattoo today and I’m doing research for my second skin. My artist is saying leave it on for five straight.
Question, so after the seven days, do you just start applying lotion? Or still keep using ointment?
Yeah by that time you’ll be fine to use lotion
I wish I wasn’t allergic to saniderm because it works so damn well. I still use it on my really expensive tattoos but I always end up with blisters on the edges
Nitpicky question.... How long should I let my tattoo air dry after washing it from the first saniderm sheet?? 😁
I just got my first tattoo and it’s been weeping, I haven’t replaced my second skin…this is day 2, should I stay till day 5 then take it off??
I’ve always had excellent experiences with saniderm UNTIL… i got my stomach tattooed … i guess the build up in the belly button area wasn’t too sanitary so now this is my next tattoo since that appointment and I’m scrambling for guidance as if I’ve never used saniderm before in my life …side note - stomach was the only tattoo i got that was infected… absolutely awful
Beware of possible reaction: I've been fortunate not to be an allergy sufferer or one who ever has skin reactions to lotions, potions, bandaids, or other contact sources. Which is why I was quite surprised when I recently had a Saniderm patch applied to a fresh tattoo. The tattoo is located on the outside upper arm and is of moderate size --- not a half-sleeve or anything that elaborate -- which was then covered by the artist with a rectangular, perfectly-sized cut of Sanidern. Was directed to leave it on, undisturbed, for 3 days, which I did. (Different sources, including Saniderm itself, say different things about how long the first application is to be kept in place.) After following directions and removing it in a warm shower three full days after application, I noticed almost immediately what looked like a rash or 'burn' that covered the exact rectangular area on which the Saniderm patch had been positioned prior to removal. You could easily see the outline of the patch borders. It turned out to be much more like a "sun burn" than a rash. My skin does not easily sunburn and is not particularly sensitive. In any event, it took three weeks to almost completely disappear. Still has a bit left to go, perhaps another week, but basically the 'burn' no longer really noticeable. The actual tattoo was never problematic -- it healed beautifully with the daily assistance of Hustle Butter (my long-time go to), so it was just the 'reaction' to the Saniderm adhesive that concerned me. Had it taken only a few days to disappear, I wouldn't be writing this. Indeed, several online posts indicated a few days and the skin irritation is gone. Not the case at all, and at times I was praying that the burn-like appearance was not permanent. Sometimes we fear the worst, even if irrationally. Should there be a next tattoo (to add to the current five), I will be certain the artist is told of my experience with Saniderm so that an alternative is used as with my earlier tattoos. It's a shame since I'm a believer in the healing and prophylactic (not that kind of prophylactic) benefits of Saniderm. I'd just rather avoid the same kind of seemingly long-lasting reaction knowing that it will probably happen again. Curious how many others here have had or know of similar experiences with Saniderm, and how it was dealt with.
your artist should have directed you to peel the edges back, unfortunately that's pretty common and well known in the industry. It's still a great product, one just has to use common sense and ESPECIALLY dont do like we see in this video, applying it without gloves , the artist probably changed gloves several times during the tattoo and at the end decided to put bacteria all over it and enclosing it with a film .we have to remember, heat and humidity is the perfect recipe for bacterial growth, I always put a new pair on for applying the film, and give my clients an extra sheet. If it seeps too much, or if you rip it even a tiny bit (like he did in the video!) remove it immediately, clean, reapply. Never had any issue with a tattoo besides the "burn" you mentioned when it came on the market, 100% the best way to heal a tattoo, you can shower normally, friction with clothing is fine, no destroyed bed sheets..
Dude i took the saniderm off after 5 and washed it 5 hrs after getting the tattoo and appied lotion is that okay? And should i reaply a mew thing of saniderm
I never had a lot of fluid after my tattoos. I just leave it for 4-5 days and my stuff heals really freaking good.
Same here don’t get how people get these massive discharges in them
Got told to wrap mine in a towel for the first night both times (2 day piece), got it in saniderm for 6 days now and under a long sleeved top.
Using butterluxe ointment between sessions of the saniderm (3 days a time then clean), after that moisturiser and covered for 3 months. Idk if it is excessive but will see if it helps and will post the results in 3 months if I remember
That's way too long week at most
