How Long Should You Keep Your Tattoo Wrapped? *Cling vs Tattoo Film* | Sorry Mom

THANK YOU GOT A TAT YESTERDAY AND IAM GOIN THRU VIDS TO SEE ALL INFO YOURS IS ONE OF THE BEST 😘💕

thanks brother. this really helps especially for some newbies like me.

earned new sub❤ i just got my first tattoo yesterday this vids give very good information thank u

i just got my birth year on my neck today, my tattoo artist used cling film. I just took off the cling film and will start washing and applying Aquaphor afterwards.

great short and concise video!

This is an awesome video, deserves a ton more views <3

This was my first time with the tattoo film and it is very sticky so learning how to remove it in the shower after 24 hours was a great help. Thanks! 👍

Appreciate the info.

I have to use the old school method because I'm terribly allergic to adhesive of all kinds. Tegaderm, steri strips, bandaids. You name it blisters and hives. I usually use hibiclens the evening before a tattoo, as soon as I take the cling wrap off when I get home and leave it off. I then clean again before bed with hibiclens rinse in cold water, and wait a good 15 min before applying my product. Also allergic to lanolin so it's really limited but I can use as aftercare but I found stories and ink cream to be very helpful. Then I wrap in cling and go to bed. Wash again in AM. Depending on the area and what has been done sometimes I sleep in the claim for two or three nights at least when I was using CeraVe healing balm. The story and ink almost feels like I don't need to do that the second night so I'm going to try it without because there's no oozing and it looks pretty good. This is for my arm sleeve. Wish I could use the adhesive but there are those of us that is absolutely never going to be an option.

Like ur accent! I definitely like the film and works great

100% agree with the tattoo film for healing because when I got my leg done, the artist wrapped it in saran wrap and my ink was just weeping alot and I ended up losing alot of ink requiring a touch up. Later on ,I got my arm and back done somewhere else and this artist used the tattoo film and boy was the healing proccess much better, and it allowed me to shower and do things much easier. Tattoo was 80% healed by day 5 when I took it off and I just needed to moisturize until 14 days and bam all healed.

Is it ok to do both? In other words - leave tattoo shop with oldschool film, come home and take it off + clean + another cling to sleep in, thrn when you wake up, clean and wrap with a second skin?

My artist used a tegaderm cover, like a sticker told me to leave it for 24hrs but it caused allergy around the edge of the cover. The tattoo is safe tho.

Should i apply a thin layer of Sorry Mom Tattoo balm until i put the tattoo film on ?

What do you recommend for hand tattoos?

Yes

hello, I got a tattoo on my arm eight days ago, but at work I have to wear a long shirt and the tattoo bothers me with the rubbing, I can use the tattoo film during work hours so that the tattoo doesn't bother me

I just got my tattoo yesterday and wondering when do I unwrap it ? He told me wait 4 days but I don’t remember doing that on my first tat I got 10 years ago

Is it ok to mosturize when it's still an open wound?

thanks
