It represents a fundamental step and sets a milestone in the history of modern tattooing: from a film that was initially used in the food and beverage industry, we have moved to a product, approved by the Italian Health Authorities, that has been specifically devised and designed for the healing of wounds generated by the practice of tattooing. Away from tattoo butters, Dermalize PRO is one of the best tattoo aftercare solutions for covering a fresh tattoo and is an alternative to cling film and other dressings.

To avoid this, you keep the tattoo well-moisturized and covered with a tattoo bandage throughout the healing process. This keeps the skin from scabbing and allows the body to heal without creating a pesky shell that could potentially pull out the ink. Stage 2 I made a fine lather with olive oil soap–I use Aleppo soap. (It’s OK to use whatever soap you usually use on your skin. I then carefully rubbed the lather onto the tattoo.) I rubbed the tattoo gently with the lather until I was able to remove all of the accumulated ink and fluid. This took a few tries. But, when I finished, the tattoo looked almost exactly as it had when it was fresh.

Once applied, the first piece of Dermalize Protective Tattoo Film can be left on the skin up to max 24 hours, the exact time will depend on the amount of fluids that the wound exudes: this will vary from person to person and from the genre of tattoo. In case of copious bleeding or weeping, the film can be replaced with another piece after 4, 6 or 8 hours. When it comes to protecting your new tattoo, there are a few options to choose from, including protective tattoo film and cling film. In this section, we’ll explore the pros and cons of both options so you can decide which one is best for your needs. Pros of Protective Film One of the latest aftercare products on the scene are the Tattoo Armour pads, which have been created by tattoo artists Torsten and Kätlin Malm with help from medical experts and Killer Ink sponsored artists Sandra Daukshta and Mihails Neverovs.

The trademark Dermalize product sets itself on the global tattoo market as a certified medical replacement of the commonly used alimentary cling film that has always been used in the tattoo aftercare, very often in an improper manner. Fast and easy to apply, Tattoo Armour pads will also shield your fresh tattoo against bacteria, germs, UV light, and dirt. It is highly recommended to remove Dermalize under the shower and if it is hard to pull off the skin, simply let some warm water run under the tattoo film, so that the glue becomes more tender and the removal of the film is easier. Dermalize Protective Tattoo Film must be used on fresh tattoos only and it must not be applied on infected skin. On some rare cases some users may be sensitive or allergic to the acrylic glue contained in the film. This will generally produce reddened skin, pimples or skin rushes that will soon disappear, once the use of the product is discontinued.

DERMALIZE PROTECTIVE TATTOO FILM is the only certified all-in-one tattoo aftercare solution for the initial healing stage of a tattoo. A thin self-adhesive film that provides a moist healing environment during the initial, and most critical, healing stage of a tattoo wound. It protects the new tattoo from friction and provides a WATERPROOF, ANTIBACTERIAL BARRIER that prevents pathogens and external contaminants from entering the wound.

During the second day, slightly more fluid accumulated, but there was no leakage and the film dressing showed no signs of losing its adhesive strength. I should add, that because the dressing is so thin, most of the time, I completely forgot I was wearing a dressing. Cling film is not breathable as protective tattoo film and can be uncomfortable to wear. It also needs to be changed regularly to prevent infection. Now, you’re probably wondering how Saniderm comes into play in this delicate healing process. It’s simple— Saniderm is a tattoo wrap that helps the healing process by protecting your tattoo from dirt, germs, and other bacteria from collecting on it and causing infection. To use, apply the Dermalize Pad on to the tattoo at the end of the session and fix it in place with Dermalize PRO protective film. Repeat as necessary in the following hours/days. Available as a single 10 g or 20 g tub or a box of 24 units. Bepanthen Tattoo Intense Care OintmentBased on my experiences with both cling film (Saran Wrap) and film dressing, I have absolutely no reservations recommending the latter. I did not have to worry about my little goldfish healing perfectly. Rolls of film dressing are not very big, but the film can be cut into whatever shape or size necessary. Big tattoos can be covered with several sheets. The most common symptom associated with a tattoo infection is red, bumpy skin surrounding the tattoo. However, this may not always be associated with an infection. In some cases, your skin may just be irritated due to the needle. In which case, the rash should clear within a few days. Some other symptoms of a tattoo infection may include:

Horihide 2 waited a few minutes after he finished tattooing, then cleaned the fresh tattoo and cut sheets of medical film dressing and applied them over the tattoo. Additionally, Saniderm protects against dirt and germs, offering protection from friction and other irritants. No worries about your furry friend rubbing against your tattoo or trying to stop nosey people from rubbing their hands on it. The next day parts of the tattoo had a very thin flakey layer of skin, sort of like what happens after a sunburn. I continued to treat the tattoo with the ointment for two days, then stopped because there was no indication that scabs were forming. By design, Saniderm’s tattoo bandage is permeable enough for oxygen and water vapor to pass through. This is important, as it allows the wounded area to maintain optimal levels of breathability. The pattern on the pads are specifically-designed to hold its form and not tear during your daily activities, while still letting the tattoo breathe and reducing scabbing.Although it is an intentional work of art, your body treats your new tattoo like a wound. It wants to expel all foreign matter and protect the “wounded” area from bacteria and grow new skin. There are very few downsides to using protective tattoo film, as it’s a highly effective and convenient option. The only thing to watch out for is to change it regularly to ensure proper healing and avoid any leaks. Pros of Cling Film The first stage is essentially considered the open wound stage. This is the period of time in which your body is still trying to seal its open skin and when you are at the greatest risk of infection and complication. The film is BREATHABLE, letting oxygen in and allowing excess moisture vapor to be released from the wound. It’s light to wear, FLEXIBLE and stretchable, which allows it to be placed anywhere on the body, also on large scale tattoos. It enhances cicatrization and guarantees a persistant brilliance of the tattoo colors. Another problem with exposing fresh tattoos to the elements very early in the healing process is infection. Although my tattoos never got infected, it is a fairly common occurrence. Infected tattoos don’t heal nicely.
