Definetly take the second skin off, if the surface has been breached, it can promote infections rather than prevent it. If you have more second skin you can definitely re-apply for a couple days if you want to, or you can let it heal the old school way like others are suggesting, just a personal preference at this point.

2023年6月21日 · She gave me two options when it came to post-session care as far as covering the tattoo - one was gauze/tape with the moisturizer underneath, and the other was the "second skin" type film which has become very popular in the last year or two for post-session care as evidenced by some of the videos I've seen recently.

2023年3月26日 · (Platelets I think!) and I left it on for 4 days (my skin around the tat was angry about the saniderm but it settled after a few days). Then she told me to wait another 3 days (1 week from getting the tattoo) before washing 2x a day and applying a …

A: Saniderm (tegaderm, second skin etc) is a big, breathable, sticky bandaid, adhered to your skin. Cling wrap is what you wrap a leftover Thanksgiving turkey in before you put it in the fridge. Saniderm is built to stay on for up to a week, cling wrap needs to come off when you get home.

I think if you have dark skin, it's worth it because they know what they're doing and they have lots of successful pictures of removal on dark skinned people.

Second skin aka saniderm aka tegaderm all function the same, by keeping moisture out of the wound/tattoo while still being breathable for some air to get through. If there is moisture trapped, then it's best to remove the saniderm and either have it reapplied (i f you know what you're doing) or take it off completely and let dry heal

Looks slightly dry , but definitely normal , you can use after tattoo care cream to rehydrate the skin , however as the dead skin layer peels let it fall off naturally don’t pick at the site of peeling skin , just continue to wash with warm water , soap and a sponge (don’t scrub the area in question , and rehydrate with after care ...

Hopefully you’ll get some form of second skin to help with the healing process! Sweat can be a cause for an infection, so I would just chat with your artist about how they feel. Maybe it’s worth it to postpone the tattoo until you have some time off from practice!
