Saniderm Tattoo Aftercare Bandage | 4 in x 8 yd Roll | Clear Adhesive Antibacterial Wrap

I don't have the best immune system thanks to an autoimmune disorder, and while I enjoy having tattoos healing them has never been fun for me. It usually takes a good 3-4 weeks for one of my tattoos to start significantly healing, which leaves my skin open and vulnerable to infection. I used this saniderm bandaging for 24 hours after my last tattoo (some color added to a large piece on my thigh) and I was seriously AMAZED at how well it worked. I kept the bandage on for 24 hours then took it off in the shower, and I was stunned to see a tattoo that looked to be at least a month old! It's been a few days since I took the saniderm off, and the tattoo has not wept at all since the bandage was taken off, although it is getting a bit dry. While in the saniderm bandage the tattoo wept and filled the bandage with plasma and blood, and it seems to have miraculously increased the rate at which my tattoos can heal. I'm so excited to have found something that my body seems to react quite well to, and it's no fun to get a tattoo and then have, essentially, an open wound for the next month. The ability that this bandage has to speed up the tattoo/wound healing process is unparalleled in my opinion. I only wish I'd had some last year when I scraped up both my knees super bad, then maybe I wouldn't have had a month and a half long healing process with that as well. I'm very impressed with this bandaging method and I'm definitely going to be using it from now on, on tattoos and any wounds I happen to collect.

This is an excellent product and is certainly a game changer in the tattoo healing process! Instead of having to clean and apply lotion a few times a day, being super careful and paranoid of keeping my tattoo away from any dirt or whatever else, the Saniderm gave me a piece of mind. I used it for a total of 10 days (3 applications) and I was carefree for the time I had it on. I'm always on the go, and this was just so convenient compared to other healing methods. After the ten days, my tattoo did incredibly well, looked great! All of the ink stayed well, and I almost need zero touching up. I did have one or two days where my tattoo was itchy; I normally would apply Hustle Butter to relieve it, but just had to deal with it - more than worth it though. I still wouldn't test it to its limits and spend your time in the pool all day long (why put a new tattoo in any situation that risks significant damage?), but I was able to go to work without the tattoo rubbing against my pants (tattoo on calf) or anything else, as well as play sports. Was easy enough to apply and their website has an awesome FAQ section. Was also easy to remove, doing so in the shower. After the 10 days, I followed with Hustle Butter and Hemp and Hive CO oil spray as I would normally do. I will be using Saniderm on ALL my future tattoos!! *The tattoo in the photo isn't completely healed so still a little shiny looking, I'll try to remember to update further down the road.

This is the real deal. I had purchased a substitute from a local pharmacy and when le it worked ok the bandages were too small for my tattoo and I had to overlap several of them. This roll contains a lot more Han I had expected which was fantastic, as I get new tattoos regularly.As a simple instruction for tattoo healing -Day 1 - after a few hours in the original bandage, clean your new tattoo with hot water and simple fragrance and purfume free soap. This will probably hurt/sting, but hell what did you expect?Let the tattoo air dry for about 2-3 minutes.Cover the tattoo with Saniderm, overlapping the edges of the tattoo about an inch or so.Make sure to press down and smooth over the tattoo.Then simply leave it alone for as long as you can. 3-5 days should be good.You can shower with the bandage on. Even swim (so I have heard).The wound will get a little gross looking as it heals, but at day 4-5 you can probably remove the bandage. Do that in the shower or bath to help.It doesn’t really stick to the fresh tattoo at all, way way less than any band-aid that you have used.Clean up the tattoo with hot simple soap and water and moisturize daily. You should have the best healed tattoo of your life! Enjoy

I got tired of my tattoo artist using Saran wrap and tape to cover my tattoos. It doesn't stay put, it doesn't breathe so there's a lot of sweat underneath....just an all-around PITA. Then I discovered Saniderm and it is my new best friend. There will obviously be folds and creases when applied to a non-flat area (like my calf, currently), so there will be some seepage of fluid (like into my sock, currently) when applied to a non-flat area. But it is a HUGE improvement over Saran wrap. It adheres very well, it breathes and doesn't cause me to sweat, and it's waterproof (you can shower with it on). It's not fun to remove from a fresh tattoo (do it gently, pull with the direction of hair growth, hold the skin taut while pulling the film), but the pros outweigh the cons. I will always use Saniderm for tattoo recovery from now on.
