I REALLY NEED to see the next time!!!

got my fourth tattoo yesterday and it was the first time someone offered this, honestly like it much more over the “let it breathe and just be careful” method

My tattoo I used this on is still my most vibrant and most complimented tattoo I have to date.

I got offered this on my last tattoo but I just used my usual after cream of coconut oil and raw Shea butter melted together

Man I hate saniderm because the adhesive irritates my skin and makes it worse when it pulls with movement. I had a red ring around my most recent tattoo for a month after pulling the saniderm off and it was itchier for much longer than previous tattoos. But for people who don't have adhesive sensitive skin it's so convenient!

That is the most *CRISP* tattoo! Beautifully done!

I love saniderm. It makes me feel more confident that I’m keeping my tattoos clean while they heal.

Her grandchildren will be so proud!

Oh I love this stuff. I won’t get tattoo without it now. Especially if it’s in an area that has friction. Like on foot or area that’s rubbed by clothes a lot. Although I always had it put on by tattoo artist at end of tattoo

Saniderm is great as long as you follow the instructions. I've heard and seen too many horror stories of people getting Saniderm put on right after the tattoo and just leaving it there for months, FUCKING MONTHS, and then come back to the shop pissed off and asking "why is my tattoo infected". So please everybody do what this person does and follow instructions

That stuffs amazing. You don’t have to worry bout washing or moisturizing for days. And when you take it off, it’s pretty much healed.

I just got a new tat last month. They put Sani-Derm on mine and had me leave it for 5 days. When I took it off there was absolutely no scabbing, peeling, etc. love that stuff!

Tattoo artists dont have the same advice across the board. I've had three different artists, and they all have had slightly different washing solution/schedule instructions. None of them have had me keep the tattoo covered for more than 24 hours after getting it done. They have each recommended different products for keeping the area from drying out and flaking while it heals.

My husband's first allergic reaction was to this stuff. Blisters left holes in the tattoo where the skin needed to grow back leaving patches that need filled in. I think everyone should test this on the inner elbow before using on tattoos

I remember my tattoos never needed that and they are still bright and amazing

I don't do tattoos, but I do appreciate the artistic skills that goes into them. I've seen some really gorgeous artistic work.

My fav for healing tattoos. Used it almost for all of my tattoos

Yes! Ive had this on my last 2/3 tattoos and it made the healing period so much easier and better.

I liked it, especially on areas out of reach to put cream on! Healed nicely and still looks good 👌🏼

I love healing a tattoo this way! No more sticking to the sheets or clothes.

Omgosh I love that tattoo ❤

I love this idea!

This stuff is absolutely amazing! My son is a tattoo artist and I recently got a tattoo on my wrist, over n up my hand n finger. It stops right under my fingernail. He put it on right after the tattoo and it stayed on for 3 days. It turned out amazing. This second skin protected it really well. Since it’s on my hand it would have been hard without it. Great stuff!

Saniderm is a lifesaver for me since I work outside. Also, I have healed a few tattoos with and without saniderm and saniderm always heals wayyy better for me. I’m really on top of aftercare for all my tattoos but every tattoo I heal “normally” always needs a touch up and doesn’t come out quite as vibrant and takes longer to heal. Saniderm makes the tattoo look great and it heals way faster for me. same couple artists for all the tattoos with and without saniderm with the same sort of styles, so its not likely is the touched up ones were applied poorly. I even had an unintentional side-by-side test of saniderm. I got two very similar mirrored tattoos on my arms. One saniderm peeled off after only a day since i accidentally got shaving cream all over it. So i healed that one normally and the other kept the saniderm. For me, the one without saniderm scabbed faaar more, and when the scabs fell off some ink was taken with it. The tattoo was all hazy for about a month before it started to look more normal. The saniderm one didnt scab at all really and after a short peel it was vibrant without any spots needing a touch up. Today almost a year later both tattoos look very similar, but one had a touch up at 4 months and at that point the one healed without saniderm still didnt look quite as crisp and vibrant if you looked at it closely. Some people have opposite experiences but for me saniderm is a must for healing my tattoos. If an artist doesn’t have it I apply it myself now.

I love sandierm. I used it with my last tattoo since fresh tattoo/toddlers are a bad mix and it honestly made the first week or two so much less stressful and easier to manage with sleeping and mumming. Totally getting it with my next tattoo

I think it's great in just trying to comprehend how is going to heal like what about it scabbing up and what not??

Your tattoo artist did a great job

I got a tattoo when I was in Japan the first time a few years ago and the tattoo artist used this over my tattoo and told me to leave it for a few days. this tattoo is still incredibly colorful and never peeled and I lost no color out of it and it’s still beautiful!

I FELT the peeling it off and readjusting SO VIVIDLY eugchh I got chills. use saniderm for all my tattoos but I definitely am gonna train my bf how to put it on for my back piece

Be careful some people have allergies to saniderm. I prefer just let it heal but I get on spots like this like the shin where it would be nice to have it covered if you work

That is gorgeous !

Huh.. I have a ton of this, mine is called tegaderm though. It’s meant for my nephrostomy tube, but I’m going to try it on my next tattoo.

I used this with my last tattoo, turns out I have an allergy 😅😅 atleast the pain from the allergic reaction made the pain from the tattoo seem like less lmao

Had saniderm on my second tattoo and aired out my other two. Honestly didn't see much difference other than I didn't have to worry about my second one as much when showering or wearing certain clothes because the 'sticker' kept that away from the sensitive skin. All three still look amazing, namely because I never leave the house lol

I use this over my pain patches, it's absolutely brilliant

I’m getting a new tattoo on Saturday, I am so excited

I just got a tattoo and asked for this instead of the saran wrap but they didn't have it. I used this in the last tat and it healed much quicker than the previous 6 I have.

My husband and I just started doing this with our tattoos and they heal so much better and look great. I don’t think I will ever stop.

So cool seeing different ways of tattoo care

Saniderm is amazing. I find that it’s helped my tattoos heal up much better. No risks or cracking the skin in the mornings when it’s dry or my dog licking my fresh tattoo. I prefer to apply the bandage directly after getting the tattoo, though. ☺️

Lol I'm allergic to adhesive, glad it didn't mess my tat up

For those with questions: - You can shower with it on. It lasts the full fivee days even if you shower every single day. - I use it for all of my tattoos so that no dirt gets into it for the first five-ish days while the tattoo stops being raw. It basically means that you don't have to worry about getting infections from anything that touches your tattoo before it is closed. - I personally find it helpful too because I've gotten tattoos away from home and it's made sure my new tattoos didn't leak anything into hotel beds.

I used this for my last tattoo and it worked great!

Saniderm also has been used for people who have suffered with burns, roadrash, and cuts. Dont be afraid if you might think it damages the skin (it hurts a bit when taking it off without water). And when your tatoo heals, you will sometimes see a bubble of ink and body fluid. That is apart of the healing process and will happen no matter what but the wrap is there so no germs and anything will get in there and cause infection.

That stuff is amazing. I had to spend a month with heart sensors on, as well as keyhole wounds on my chest and tummy. I couldn’t get the monitor wet so I covered my whole front chest & tummy with it. It’s like a second skin. Kept the water out, was great

Beautiful work? Props to the artist 💯

tattoo artist here, i use these!

Aquaphore is good also

Tbbbhhh my tattoo artist offered me this for my hip tattoo anddddd yeah I felt it hurt more than anything trying to take it off soooooo All I’m saying is be careful and keep in mind the sensitivity.

That tattoo is Awesome!!!

I don’t trust those. I’m old school and go with the leave it be method. 😂 At most I use A&D ointment. Because it’s normal for a tattoo to dry, then scab when healing…these younger kids keep saying it’s not but it’s literally a wound put into your body, so yes scabbing is normal. 😂

Japanese style hot water then cold coconut oil

I just got a tattoo in April had that stuff on and it was amazing I didn't feel my tattoo at all it healed so fast

I healed every tattoo this way besides my first color tattoo AND ITS THE BEST METHOD. Seriously.

We use coconut oil in prison!

This seems a lot easier than putting it on IMMEDIATELY after getting the tattoo.

I can't get enough of your content.

It’s kinda crazy how much has changed in the tattoo world. I’ve seen this but never used it… it’s been a while since my last tat. This has GOT to be better than the old way…

How did the shin feel I want to get my leg done soon

This stuff gave me such a big rash 😭

I got this on my last tattoo I got and omg it was such a relief for me.. Makes a huge difference from what I had to do on my previous 6 tattoos

So love tattoos they are such a work of art just amazing 😍

*Oh wow, that is NICE* 🐍

My last tattoo I used this. The color is still amazing. No scabs, no iching...I'll never go back to how I used to care for my tattoos

Sanaderm was invented for operations and was originally called opsite tape. Now you can get it from multiple companies with multiple names but it’s a god sent for a lot of different dressings and treatments Thank you for showing another way of using it. Looks awesome.

Saniderm essentially large Tagaderm. It's used fire scratches and other wounds to keep them wet to reduce or eliminate scarring.

This is so cool. I will have to try this next time! I have a lot of trouble healing tattoos.

This is the coolest tattoo I've seen in a long time, incredible!!!!

Back in our days we didn't have saniderm we were taking care of our tattoos with different ways anyway now things are more easy and simple and this is good the most of the times.......!!!!!!! I really like your tattoo design and the work of it.....!!!!!!!!!!

Saniderm is meant to be placed directly on the ink after it's been finished and washed at the shop to prevent all exposure to potential infections once you leave the shop, not the next day.

sick cobra! great design and placement

I LOVE your ink!!!! Can’t wait to get more myself

I used tegaderm for road rash and it was phenomenal. Honestly love this technology for surface wounds, and I'm so glad more tattoo parlors are recommending it.

Saniderm works great I used it for my half sleeve and made the healing process so much easier

Warning to people with sensitive skin or allergies- these can cause scarring or damage to your tattoo if you end up reacting to the adhesive. If you're worried about that definitely say something to your tattoo artist and don't feel pressured to use it. I've never used any of these second skin products and my tattoos healed perfectly fine.

OMG! You have HELLO KITTY too! I love it!!!!!!!!

I've never heard of this and I have 4 I just use coca butter it's amazing my tattoo healed within 2 days

Im a tattooist and saniderm is a game changer. Good application🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

neat fact, saniderm, second skin, and other similar products used at tattoo shops were originally developed as a dressing for burns

My artist spoiled me and used it for my first tattoo, it wasnt until my second that i realized how great it really is. So much easier to take care of, less itchy and scabby and it healed so quickly. I only use it now

It works really well. We call it real skin. My tattoo artist put it on right away. There is no scabbing, very lttle itching, etc. I have one more day before i remove it.

Saniderm or second skin is a game changer. It takes the hassle out of the healing process and the tattoo remains vibrant. It heals very evenly as well, no big sections of scabbing at all.

I like it the best. My tattoo healed much better than any of the others and it is entirely hassle free

My tattoo artist has been using this method for quite some time, and I find it really convenient. They put the first sticker on day 1, by day 2 I change it for a new one, from there it's 4 days more and then one last sticker for 4 days and it's all done with that. You can shower, live your life, no worries about the peeling process of the skin and ink, less itching and very unlikely to get it infected, so a win win for me 🎉

That’s a really cool snake! Perfect placement too. Congrats!

I've become diabetic since my last tattoo, so knowing that this is available is great. I still heal very quickly for now, but as I get older I know that will decline. I think Saniderm is just Tegaderm rebranded. Tegaderm is used for wound dressings, over iv ports, and for people with adhesive allergies. You can buy patches in most drugstores in the wound care aisle, but they aren't as large as this Saniderm patch.

Your tattoos are gorgeous ❤

That is such a sick tattoo!

I love that tattoo

I love that tattoo it looks amazing

I love it.. My tattoo artist always has me use those and my tatts come out gorgeous.. But I left it on til it gets squishy and ink is mixed inside like what happens with a burn boil.. It's super easy and makes your tattoo heal better and last way longer!!

This is fantastic and where has it been all my life!

It’s gonna look the same! Healed but the same black… It’s a beautiful tattoo 😊

I wish my grandma was like this

I just followed his instructions, if you go to a good artist you won't have much scabbing etc. The next day I took off the wrap, washed off the slime (the slime is what would turn into a scab if you leave it there) let it air dry then applied the stuff he gave me. Same thing next day. After 4 or 5 days ot was healed perfectly.

My twin! Gray hair and tattoos

Used this on my latest tattoo, keeps it clean and reduces risk of scratching!

That is a really nice tattoo

As a nurse, i work with a tone of these clear bandages l. Remove thr none adhesive side pattern cover first, it will make the whole thing more flexible. Pluse, you dont want it super tight or to have it stretching the skin as that can cause fraction blisters. As for the duration, it is a fresh wound, so i prefer every other day such as (Mo. Mi.Fri) or (Di.Do.Sa) just because of bacteria build up. However, i am not a tattoo artist, i am only a home patient care nurse and my patients require more regular bandage changes.
