It took my tattoo 12 days to heal, but I never had to deal with scabbing or washing... First 2 days: Saniderm... Remove after 48 hours and wash and replace new Saniderm... Day 4: Remove second Saniderm, wash, moisturize... Day 5-12: light peeling until healed. No fuss. No itching. No worrying about it getting dirty or wet... Saniderm is a game changer.
My forearm healed in about 10 days. 1. Remove plastic wrap in 2-3 hours, wash the tattoo. Let it air out for about an hour. Apply new wrap with some moisturiser. (I've always used panthenol based product) 2. Remove wrap in the morning and do the same (apply wrap only if you know the tattoo will get rubbed on clothes etc.) 3. Let the tattoo breath as much as possible. 4. When the itching starts, wash the tattoo and rub gently with moisturiser. You can also slap it but never scratch.
Everyone’s so different mine normally heal in about 1 month BUT i don’t hydrate myself properly and I heard that is a big contributor to the healing process?
I removed foil next morning, washed it properly and moisturised it 2x/day with Bepanthen,as been told grom tattoo artist.Did it from this day on for 2weeks, after 2 werks,skin wasn't sosling up Bepanthen,changed to thick,rich bodylotion,tattoo healed perfect and it covers half of my back.
I use saniderm and I love it. Question though, I’ve only had my first session which has linework and some shading. I’m going back for color, when would saniderm be used to over my first session?
I wish I saw this video before taking my wrap off, I had the one you said wasn't sponsored on, the artist told me to take it of on day 2. Now I have seen loads saying g 3 to 5 days. I also have has sunlight hit it I also started putting after care on straight after taking it off. Should i stop for a least 2 days or continue applying it? I hope it turns out okay
I just got a tattoo today and my tattooist told me to wear cling film for 24-7 for the first 7 days apart from when I clean it twice a day. Does this doing right
I had my tattoo retouched yesterday. My arm is swollen and red today. From the first day, I wash with antibacterial soap 2 times, morning and evening, and apply coconut oil to moisturize. When does the redness and swelling go away?
My tattooist put Saran Wrap on. When I got home I put on SaniDerm and left it on for 24 hrs. Some fluids collected. I took it off in the shower, washed it with Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Baby Soap, let it air dry and then did a light application of AquaPhor JUST ON THE TATTOO. I then recovered it with SaniDerm and left it on for 4 1/2 days. I had planned to leave it on for the full 6 days but there was very little additional accumulation of fluids. So I became concerned that the SaniDerm might stick too strongly to the tattooed area. I removed it in the shower going very slowly and washing the area to release the SaniDerm. The tattoo looked perfect immediately afterwards. There was no itching and no scabbing. The only peeling that I noticed were two tiny flakes and that was it. Perfect results. Will it work for everybody? Absolutely not. SandiDerm states clearly that about 40% of users experienced a reaction to the film. Therefore you should apply a bit of tape and wait cor a while. I think they said 20-30 mins, I waited an hour. Zero redness/itching for me so I went for it. For what it’s worth, I ordered mine from Amazon and didn’t buy the SaniDerm brand. Even that worked okay. If I get another tattoo I will absolutely use this. Also I’m going to use it on some cuts and scrapes. That is what the film was designed for, wound care. As always…. Actual mileage may vary, batteries not included.
So even though SaniDerm recommends removing, and replacing, the initial film within 24 hrs, you recommend NOT to do that? With no explanation as to why?
I remove the first Saniderm after 36-48 hours and wash and replace a new sheet of saniderm for a second 36-48 hours. I remove the saniderm after 4 days total and let it dry and heal from there.
Can I still apply seniderm after a week of getting a tattoo. I didn’t know about it so I didn’t get it at the initial stage. My tattoo is a week old now and I will like to know if I can still apply the seniderm on it
I was told to take my bandage off after 3-4 hours & not rewrap. then wash it & apply thin coat of aquaphor. & to wash and apply very thin coat every couple hours. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I washed it like 3x every few hours with a thin thin coat of aquaphor. I just decided to wash then not moisturize & just wait for 2 days until I do that. Should I be okay? It’s about a 6 inch forearm tat. Geometric so lotta lines.
@@HypnoticRL ngl, I personally had a negative reaction because the metal in the ink didn’t agree w my skin. This isn’t the case w most people. Over all going beyond that, I healed completely beautifully!
@@pirschy777 wow thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it. Yeah that happned with my 1st tattoo. Scarred up bad. I didn't take care if it right. I immediately applied lotion. I went and bought aquaphor this time.
@@pirschy777 also my tattoo artist told me today to take the surand wrap off in a couple hours but most everyone says to leave it on over night. Whats your opinion?
@@HypnoticRL I took it off, listen to your artist. It’s important to let the wound breathe. I was told to wrap it at night after washing it for only 3 nights. Listen to the artists instructions tho you’ll be good man! Don’t overthink it I’m speaking from experience!

@@tatumbarrette Very big to the healing process of your body in general. Always stay hydrated!
Rob is so dope and chill!! He did my neck tattoo and I looooove it! Can’t wait to get tattooed by him again
Thank you Jennifer! Looking forward to it!
It would be so nice to see this entire healing process in a video, maybe of someone who's just tattooed and want to try that

My artist has this tattoo wrap and told me to keep it on for 5 days but I wanna take it off at 3 days I have butterflies 3 and their small!!!!
Hustle butter is awesome for healing and everyday use
How many times a day should you wash your new tattoo?
Aquaphor is the best after care🙌🏼
Good stuff 🔥
Thank you!

The left side of your mustache curves in more than the right side

So when you say "how often to apply aftercare" .. did you mean after taking the saniderm off? so no lotion until after the first week?
Great video
I have the same circa !!! 😍😍😍

Just got my first tattoo five days ago. Wish I watched this then as it’s already cracked and drying out lol
What do you do after the saniderm treatment is complete?
Back tattoo healing process sucks.. I can’t reach that far back

Im trying! lol
How about using a little bit of coconut oil to moisturize after 2nd week?
is there a problem using aquafor on day 1? I got 2 small tats
Can I still apply seniderm after a week of getting a tattoo. I didn’t know about it so I didn’t get it at the initial stage. My tattoo is a week old now and I will like to know if I can still apply the seniderm on it
My artist said use after care right after the wrap 🤦🏾♂️😞
I use Vaseline and it works just fine I just apply just a thin layer

Should I let my tattoo scabs dry out and fall off or keep moisturising? Been looking for an answer for a while now.
Pat moisturise, don’t rub off the scabs
Day 8 healing stages can i drink alchohol or a beer
When is it safe enough to scratch a tattoo
I use vitamin e oil :)
Just two or three fingers 😉
Lmao I knew it would be somebody
can I use cetaphil lotion
That's what I use! Make sure to get the unscented version
Lmaooo I just realized OP was 5 mo ago 😭🤣
@@SergeantBurke lmao its ok
Anyone use tattoo goo kit
To bullshit
Do more harm than good
Impede on
Color is not a style of tattoo and black work is not the style of tattoo in the picture you showed for it. Color realism American traditional and japanese can all use color so be specific.
Would you say it's ok to restart working out once the tattoo has finished with the peeling/scabbing process? So around the 2 weeks mark? Thank you :)
unless it’s absolutely massive i don’t see a reason to stop working out in the first place💪🏻
