Second Skin protects against bacteria and contact with clothing, and it is waterproof and breathable.

Warm showers and hand washing are okay, but avoid baths, pools, or the ocean.

I wrap your new tattoo in Second Skin whenever possible as it provides excellent protection and healing. However, there are certain areas, such as elbows, knees and armpits, where Second Skin is not practical because it can fall off quickly. For very large tattoos, such as on the back, it's also best to use film to ensure the protection stays in place properly. Read much more about aftercare here.

How does tattoo placement affect healing time?Healing time can depend on the location of the tattoo.
