The Recovery Aftercare Derm Shield Tattoo Aftercare Bandage Roll will help shield your new ink from dirt and abrasion that can potentially harm your new artwork. These premium bandages will allow your new tattoo to breathe and help it naturally heal. They are transparent and come with a convenient self-adhesive backing that easily adheres to your skin. The bandages are super easy to remove and will not harm your new tattoo in any way. It can be cut and trimmed to fit any size tattoo. These are no ordinary tattoo healing bandages. They are composed of three layers: EVA film, matte PU film, and glassine. The matte PU film, which is the part of the bandage that remains on and protects the skin after tattooing, allows for optimal breathability and ductility when compared to glossy film bandages. The bandages are also waterproof to prevent any unwanted moisture from touching your ink.

Ce produit est l’équivalent d’un Tegaderm, mais spécial tatouage.
De très bonne qualité, packaging élégant, il est facile à poser une fois qu’on a pris le coup de main.
Il semble bien hermétique, tout en laissant respirer la peau.
Facile à retirer, adhère bien sur la peau. (Pour qu’il adhère +, ne pas hésiter à le chauffer en laissant la main dessus une fois qu’il est posé)
Personnellement je l’ai utilisé à partir du lendemain du tatouage afin de le protéger des frottements lorsque je dors, mais aussi du soleil lorsque je travaille, car j’ajoute une manchette, et c’est pour ne pas qu’elle frotte.
Je préfère ajouter une fine couche de crème pour ne pas qu’il colle trop et faciliter le retrait.
Pour ce qui est de la cicatrisation, c’est vrai qu’elle semble être accélérée.
Concernant la matière je n’ai pas eu de réaction allergique, mais bien faire un test sur une petite surface de peau avant de l’appliquer sur le tatouage.
J’ai pris le rouleau de 7m, c’est beaucoup et c’est un peu onéreux, mais je pense que je suis tranquille pour quelques temps avec mon conjoint.
Bref, très bon produit qualitatif, je recommande !

Great product much better quality than the cheaper rolls you can buy from other sites the roll is not bent when it arrives and doesn’t fight you when you try to unroll also the thickness is much better than others I have used insuring less leaking from occurring from wounds

This stuff is much easier to apply to bendy bits. It conforms better after you take off the plastic applicator sheet. I had one customer who is a runner who said it did not make it after a work out. The most common “saniderm” on amazon stayed on better for him. So, yeah, this stuff isn’t perfect, but a number of customers who are allergic to the other stuff like this brand. I would suggest having more than one kind on hand to cover all your bases.
I think my biggest complaint is that the edges are hard to deal with when taking it off. There is a learning curve to getting it right. Maybe experiment with a friend the first few times before rolling it out on customers.

I used these as I have had a lot of tattoos done this year 8 full day sessions and got sick of constantly putting cream on every few hours so decided to give them a try, they did not itch as all and were easy to apply however they have no healed my tattoos they look like they were done 1-2 days ago the way they are peeling and I had them done 7 days ago, also they stick to some parts of the skin causing bleeding on removal wouldn’t recommend

It’s not possible to clean skin after it. Also after 3rd use I have alergy on it now

This is the only derm shield I use. Every other one has some type of issue. Some give a lot of people rashes, some have a weird glue that will stick to the skin for days once you take it off like hexderm. Some are just terrible products that I don’t even know why they’re still out in the market like the view guard by Dynarex, just plain terrible product. Recovery is hands down the best.

This stuff is better then saniderm. Period. It feels like skin, is Latex free and the adhesive is strong but gentle enough to not leave a residue on the skin when removed. I was able to personally use this on myself and keep a patch on for at least 5 days.

I’m ten sessions in on a full back/left sleeve and have tried multiple, similar products. This one is, in my opinion, the best.
The first I tried gave me a rash and was really thick. The thickness was uncomfortable and tough to sleep with. I’ve used another one that leaves a lot of residue and actually tore my skin when I was removing it.
This product is the most comfortable and comes off much easier than the others. It isn’t thick but holds really well. I can barely feel it when it’s on. I take it off in the shower and it peels off easily. I’m not one to leave tattoo bandages on for more than two days so I can’t speak to how it works any longer than that but, for me, it’s perfect.

derm shield is the WAY to go soooo much better than saniderm it’s way more comfortable, can’t even tell it’s on your skin it’s THAT COMFY and it moves with your body very well, sticks 10x better than saniderm. i’ve used saniderm many times and decided to switch cuz of the irritation i’d get from saniderm. 10/10 would recommend you get urself derm shield for ur next tattoo!

I use this and one other adhesive bandage depending on my clients skin sensitivity. Most prefer this while a few still prefer the one I had been using for years until I found Derm Sheild. We get a lot of guest artists at the studio and most of them being this with them, and we see this used by many when we work at tattoo expos, so I’ve seen many of my peers also using this product. Love how it’s matte and makes the tattoo look healed already. Also most clients feel this stays on better and doesn’t cause as much irritation along the edges in thinner skin areas.
