How to “PROPERLY” USE SANIDERM on a NEW TAT

[justinkd]

They are ONE OF THE BEST brands for the AFTERCARE & HEALING OF A NEW TATTOO and I recommend trying it out atleast acouole times 🔷

In other words, if it fills up, change it. If it doesn’t, you’re good.

I wish she mentioned how to properly remove it. So many people just rip it off dry.

As someone who is highly allergic to medical adhesives. Saniderm is NOT a one size fits all. There’s plenty of us who cannot use it and have been healing tattoos just fine without it.

I never made it past three days. Something about it felt weird to keep on for so long

[Jexxa.]

My artist doesn't even use "second skins" because they irritate too many people's skin. Just keep it clean and moisturized and you're good.

Leaving it on even with plasma in it is beneficial as plasma has amazing healing properties. My clients heal super fast and their tattoos are extremely vibrant when they leave the 1st sheet on for a week.

Only thing about this i would warn is that when reapplying it, you need to be really careful about being sanitary, bc you will be trapping bacterias under it against you tattoo who is basically an open wound. I would generally just say don't reapply yourself if you'r not sure, better to let it air then risk infection

But most importantly, follow your artist's instructions. They know best how to optimize the healing of their artwork. Not all tattoos heal the same.

I left mine on for 2/3 ish days and cleaned in in my shower. Applied hustle butter for a lil more than a week after and she’s perfect now

I have many tattoos over my back and arms and its actually insane the amount of different pieces of advice you get on correct after-care that all contradict each other by varying degrees.

My tattoo artist told me to just let it air dry and not cover it up and wash it gently in the shower

[ewbrainwormies]

Please remember when removing second skin you should remove it on the shower with warm water as it helps relax the adhesive as well as your skin, also to also peel the way your hair grows, you peel from a corner and start to gently pull and it should come off easily😊

I recently got a beautiful tattoo on my wrist, one my hand and up my finger. The artist put this fabulous second skin on it shortly after cleaning n drying it off. It lasted four days with no weeping. My tattooist was surprised that it didn’t weep as it healed. When I took it off it felt and looked amazing. I didn’t put another one on after that. It’s been about two months now and it’s absolutely beautiful. I was so happy to have that second skin on since it’s on my main hand. It really protected it well.
This stuff is awesome! I highly recommend it. My tattooist went to S.L.C. Utah as a guest artist at a tattoo place. Apparently they all use them out there where the air is dry and it keeps the tattoo from drying out too much. I’m in upstate New York n now everyone is using them here too. Because they’re great!!!

My tattoo artist used it on my last session, left it on for 6 days and after I removed it, I used aquaphor to keep the skin soft and hydrated, no itching or peeling at all, my tattoo was completely healed I will definitely use it again on my second session.

[doriwilson]

My tattoo artist just recommended aquaphor and not to rub or scratch it. 8 years and it still looks good.

[netovalcacer]

First time I left for 5 days 😂 and man... My tattoo healed beautifully, I removed the second skin almost with no ink leak.

[jooniperlynn]

I recommend the saniderm if you work in places where you can't keep it clean, or if you live with pets and need an extra layer of protection, and it also helps when you're showering to prevent all the stinging for the first few days. It's not like there's a right or wrong way as long as you keep it clean and monitor for infection. Some artists hate saniderm and prefer air drying, some love it and hate air drying, everyone has a different method, some only recommend keeping clean saniderm on for 3 days and letting it breathe for a few hours, it's whatever works for your body, schedule and environment.

JustINKD, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!

[casayyy]

I always recommend to leave it on for 3-5 days (depending on tattoo) until it crusts up abit inside. ALSO that if the ink sack becomes overwhelming, remove and wash with anti bacterial soap in lukewarm water,
and once a bit dry then use a thin layer of aquaphor, completely rubbed on.

I don’t recommend doing a second wrapping only because as the artist, I can’t depend on others sanitary habits. A lot can happen in the first 48-72 hrs of a tattoo, along side the first 2 weeks of healing so I try to let my clients know my after care procedure once the tattoo is finished. Never had an issue!

When I got my first tattoo it was by an old-timer tattoo artist and he explicitly told me do not put anything on the tattoo whatsoever The only time you put anything on it is a little bit of Vaseline when it starts to peal and if the itching really starts to bother you other than that never put anything on it. I've always remembered that and followed his directions to a tea and on my tattoos look beautiful
