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9月16日 · Okay so definitely remove the 2nd skin, wash it gently, pat it dry, then apply a thin layer of unscented moisturiser and cover it with cling film. The next day, you'll see plasma and ink under the film, so repeat the process.

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1月20日 · If the skin under the corners of the second skin gets red, take it off and just heal the tat without it. I'm allergic to saniderm adhesive, and my skin gets insanely itchy under it. The telltal sign is when untattooed skin starts being irritated by the adhesive.

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 …

Since it doesn’t “breathe” or seal fully like tegaderm, it creates a warm wet mess of bodily fluids which is a perfect environment for breeding bacteria, which ...

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

If a patient has an an injury to the epidermis/dermis like a burn or abrasion (which is basically what a tattoo is), we keep it clean and covered in a dry, sterile, breathable dressing initially. I obviously don’t put bandages on my tattoos, but I certainly wouldn’t allow them to …

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.
