Saniderm Original Tattoo Aftercare Bandage Personal Roll 10 2 in x 2 yd

This second skin works beautifully. It had a nice edge on the sides making it an easy to peel and stick tape. We use this for several applications but mainly for after getting tattoos. My husband just got my ink done and I wrapped his arm in this second skin and it stays put. You need to clean and pat dry the skin. Then cut the length of second skin you need. Peel the white cover layer off and place it on the skin. Then peel the plastic grid layer off and press the second skin to the skin on your body. It holds for a week with showers and every day movement. With tattoos you will see blood and plasma come to the surface of the skin and then reabsorb. It is a large roll and covers a lot of area. It’s one length so you can cut it to fit where you put it. We also use it when going to the lake as the fish love to bite my husbands moles on his back so we place a small piece of cotton ball on the mole then place the second skin over that. The fish leave it alone. This is water proof and stays put. Great value for the money and amazing quality. Read more

I got my first tattoo back around roughly 2014. At the time, Saniderm wasn't a widely used product. I lucked out in that my chosen artist happened to use it, and my first experience with it was fantastic. The tattoo healed quickly and well! Fast forward several years and I just got my 4th tattoo. This time my artist didn't use it at all, oddly enough, so I had to order some online. I liked the idea of having extra both for the future and just in case I messed something up somehow (yeah, I was overthinking it!). I wasn't sure if anything had changed in all these years, and I'm thrilled to report it hasn't! This stuff just works for tattoo purposes. I've never had any negative reaction to adhesives, however, so mind that if you do. Otherwise, this stuff is a literal and figurative life saver. No worries about washing or moisturizing or which products to use or whatever else. I have extremely sensitive skin and allergies to a LOT of things, but Saniderm makes it possible for me to get any and all tattoos I want without worry. As long as you remove it in the shower under warm water and in the direction of the hair growth, it's like pulling off a freshly applied bandaid. No pain, no ripping sensation like getting waxed, nothing but the sensation of it pulling off. Applying it to your skin is like applying a screen protector to an electronic device such as your phone or tablet. Peel the first layer being careful not to touch the adhesive underneath, apply to skin, peel the last layer off and there you go. Couldn't have been simpler, and there are clearly marked perforations to help you locate where to peel from. The only 'work' involved was cutting it to size and rounding the edges as per instructions. After removal, my tattoo is now going through its natural flaking process, but I avoided worry of infection and the initial week of healing and couldn't be happier with the results. If you've never tried it (and you don't have any known issues with adhesives), absolutely do! Either way, I can confidently say it's the only healing product I will ever use for such purposes again!

As a tattoo enthusiast I had never tried this till I did my leg sleeve. I decided to give it a try because I didn’t want my tattoo rubbing against my pants. I also heard about how well it heals a tattoo. It did not disappoint!! It helps me heal without the worry of constantly putting cream on. I leave on for 2 days then take it off in the shower to help getting it off. After 2 days the redness is gone, and the tattoo doesn’t lose ink which I was so impressed with, I thought for sure it would pull ink out when removing but it didn’t. Love this product and with never get tattooed without using this from now on!! Read more

Perfect for healing and easy to use. Read more

Saniderm was very instrumental to the healing process of my tattoo. I used it heal a large arm sleeve. It allowed protection during sleep and while at work. However, I developed a slight reddish rash along the edges of my tattoo as my skin was sensitive to the adhesive. Read more

Saniderm is amazing. Seriously. I have a near-completed full sleeve of neotrad tattoos and without this stuff I would have been doomed years ago. For tattoos with heavy color or black work this stuff is gold. It (mostly) stops the ink and plasma from leaking all over the place after the tattoo, makes it possible to work, plus makes the day after so much easier to deal with. The worst thing after hours of tattooing the previous day, is waking up the next day to deal with not just the bruising/tender skin but also dealing with the dirty sheets or shirt with ink stains that NEVER come out. It’s safe and efficient if you use it right. Keep in mind, this stuff is made to stick onto heavily traumatized skin and protect it, so it’s not going to just come off easy peasy. Don’t treat it like a bandaid, cause if you do, you’re going to rip off a lot of skin around the tattoo and risk scarring as well as a lot of pain. Go on the website, read the instructions, and when it comes to taking it off, get in the shower. Trust me. Wash your body with low temp water, washing your hands and avoiding the saniderm, and then turn it down to basically lukewarm. If you can lower your water pressure do, and start from the very top of the piece. Try to slowly lift a corner while under the spray, and very carefully peel downwards. While doing this, I think of it as having to wash off the adhesive on the part sticking to my skin, go really really slowly and try to let the water do the work. It takes FOREVER for big pieces but I have yet to scar myself or rip off my skin. Just be careful, be sanitary, and go slowly and you’ll be just fine :) Read more
