Second skin always, heals in a week with no leakage.

Can remove it easily after a bath or shower.

Then use baby oil to rub away the excess glue left on your skin.

Then wash it and use decent tattoo aftercare cream.

Perfect tattoos everytime 🤣

Pre-washed or the un-washed version?

Yeah warm shower is kinda the key for removing second skin. I was told the best way to take it off is like a command strip, pulled straight down rather than outwards from the body.

For my tattoos I just put bepanthen on them and wrapped them on clingfilm when I was working, wash them with soap and water a few times a day, apart from that just left them alone

Massive fan of second skin. I use it for other things not just tattoos, it's a standard part of my first aid box now. Fantastic for small burns, cuts, grazes, anything in an awkward place like knees and elbows etc etc.

I second this with the bepanthon, although my artist advice was to keep cling wrap on for the first couple of hours then after only use bepanthon 3-4x a day an hour at a time.

She also said don't cling wrap it going forward, it makes that area warmer with the likelyhood of introducing bacteria/infect higher.

Try not to shower until the day after for the same reason, but if you have to wait at least 6 hours and use a PH neutral soap and pat dry with kitchen roll.

Sorry Mum Tattoo balm is by far the best stuff I've ever used. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Wash with soap and water twice a day and then put on a thin layer of the balm
