SanidermOriginal Tattoo Aftercare Bandage (Personal Roll, 10.2 in x 2 yd)

I got my first tattoo back around roughly 2014. At the time, Saniderm wasn't a widely used product. I lucked out in that my chosen artist happened to use it, and my first experience with it was fantastic. The tattoo healed quickly and well! Fast forward several years and I just got my 4th tattoo. This time my artist didn't use it at all, oddly enough, so I had to order some online. I liked the idea of having extra both for the future and just in case I messed something up somehow (yeah, I was overthinking it!). I wasn't sure if anything had changed in all these years, and I'm thrilled to report it hasn't! This stuff just works for tattoo purposes. I've never had any negative reaction to adhesives, however, so mind that if you do. Otherwise, this stuff is a literal and figurative life saver. No worries about washing or moisturizing or which products to use or whatever else. I have extremely sensitive skin and allergies to a LOT of things, but Saniderm makes it possible for me to get any and all tattoos I want without worry. As long as you remove it in the shower under warm water and in the direction of the hair growth, it's like pulling off a freshly applied bandaid. No pain, no ripping sensation like getting waxed, nothing but the sensation of it pulling off. Applying it to your skin is like applying a screen protector to an electronic device such as your phone or tablet. Peel the first layer being careful not to touch the adhesive underneath, apply to skin, peel the last layer off and there you go. Couldn't have been simpler, and there are clearly marked perforations to help you locate where to peel from. The only 'work' involved was cutting it to size and rounding the edges as per instructions.After removal, my tattoo is now going through its natural flaking process, but I avoided worry of infection and the initial week of healing and couldn't be happier with the results.If you've never tried it (and you don't have any known issues with adhesives), absolutely do! Either way, I can confidently say it's the only healing product I will ever use for such purposes again!

Tattoo must have.This film is like your own skin, it protects your tattoo like nothing else. You really don’t even notice it’s there. When taking it off, it perks away easily. I would recommend this to anyone getting a tattoo.

Kept my tattoos safe during the healing process. I did itch a bit but that's normal from a tattoo when it heals. It met and exceded my standards. Removal was a bit tedious but with a bit of water it went smoothly. Just use scent free soap to clean.

I’ve used Saniderm (or similar second skin products) on about half of my tattoos, and I honestly prefer it every time. It helps them heal much faster and with a lot less hassle. No constant washing and reapplying ointment—just apply it and let it do its thing. Definitely makes the healing process cleaner and more comfortable. I highly recommend using second skin if you haven’t tried it yet!

Good product

Helped a lot with my tattoo aftercare and works wonders with the healing process. Would definitely recommend!!

Saniderm is amazing. Seriously. I have a near-completed full sleeve of neotrad tattoos and without this stuff I would have been doomed years ago. For tattoos with heavy color or black work this stuff is gold. It (mostly) stops the ink and plasma from leaking all over the place after the tattoo, makes it possible to work, plus makes the day after so much easier to deal with. The worst thing after hours of tattooing the previous day, is waking up the next day to deal with not just the bruising/tender skin but also dealing with the dirty sheets or shirt with ink stains that NEVER come out.It’s safe and efficient if you use it right.Keep in mind, this stuff is made to stick onto heavily traumatized skin and protect it, so it’s not going to just come off easy peasy. Don’t treat it like a bandaid, cause if you do, you’re going to rip off a lot of skin around the tattoo and risk scarring as well as a lot of pain. Go on the website, read the instructions, and when it comes to taking it off, get in the shower. Trust me. Wash your body with low temp water, washing your hands and avoiding the saniderm, and then turn it down to basically lukewarm. If you can lower your water pressure do, and start from the very top of the piece. Try to slowly lift a corner while under the spray, and very carefully peel downwards. While doing this, I think of it as having to wash off the adhesive on the part sticking to my skin, go really really slowly and try to let the water do the work. It takes FOREVER for big pieces but I have yet to scar myself or rip off my skin.Just be careful, be sanitary, and go slowly and you’ll be just fine :)

I got my first tattoo earlier this year and was so, so nervous about the healing part - would it be so maddeningly itchy that I would mess up and scratch it before it healed? Would it take forever to heal? Would it be messy/gross to deal with afterward?I went to get the tattoo with my friend and she also warned me that I'd probably wake up the next morning with ink or whatever on my sheets. After a few hours in the chair, the tattoo artist put some saniderm on me and gave me a routine to follow (basically, keep it on for a few days then carefully clean and put on a NEW saniderm patch, which she provided me, then if I wanted to keep using saniderm I could just buy a roll if I was keen on it and go from there).First, the saniderm she gave me kept my tattoo from, well, "leaking" anywhere. The seal was perfect. I could see signs of a fresh tattoo healing when I got up the next day and was really tempted to peel off the saniderm to clean, but I stuck to her advice and changed it only when she told me to. Can I note that this entire time, while it did itch a LITTLE, it was not nearly as itchy as I expected and it was so easy to keep my hands off it since it was covered?My tattoo healed super fast, looks amazing, and I'm convinced it was saniderm that made the aftercare so simple that I wanted to go back immediately to get another tattoo. I can't recommend it highly enough.
