[@EvolveINK]

@@jaredishmael9635 I need to make a video on this ASAP! I am not personally a fan of this product for multiple reasons

Hey Mike wanna get some tips I’m getting my first tattoo on my inner forearm and it’s a big piece I’m really scared and nervous on the pain

[@mattscalzo2375]

Hey Mike! I’m planing on getting my first tattoo soon, half sleeve. Can you do a video on Saniderm? I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. From other channels and from people I know who have used it on their tattoos. But a lot of it contradicts traditional healing and aftercare process. Also their website states that it is “Safe to swim” while having a tattoo covered with Saniderm. They claim 100% water proof 🤔

[@CosmicAli_TheObserver]

You are on the safer more privileged side of the tattoo world, so I don't think you would know about this... Please encourage people to quit getting white women/women in Native War Bonnets. It's really disrespectful to our culture, and it can get the person cut up or killed. People are fed up and will stab or brand the person with the offensive tattoo. Most recently people have been getting cut deep on the face for appropriating our culture.

[@CNBlackjack21]

Very informative video! I just wanted to add that everyone has different methods to heal their tattoos. My tattoo artist uses saniderm/second skin afterwards and tells me to keep it on for three days. I've followed her instructions many times and my tattoos have always healed well. When it doubt, ask your tattoo artist!

[@EvolveINK]

Always ask you artist as well 🤙🏻🐺

[@mayhem4671]

I just had my right arm sleeve last month. Your videos helped me a lot to do's and don'ts of having a brand new tattoo. I'm from the Philippines by the way. Also, I would like to suggest you to discuss different traditional tattoo designs/methods per country on your future videos. Thank you and more power! 🤘💀🤘

[@EvolveINK]

Thank you so much for watching homie!

[@stephaniesilvester5728]

Just got my new tattoo yesterday. My artist uses something called a second skin. It helps the tattoo breathe, and you can drain it of all the plasma, blood extra, so you don't have to apply cling film again. Bonus, you can take a shower without panicking about your fresh ink!

[@seriouscoin]

Same here! They had me keep it on for 5-6 days which seemed to work pretty well. Saniderm I think is what it’s called.

[@stephaniesilvester5728]

Yeah!!! I am so happy to hear this! Your comment has made my day ❤️ thank you.🐺🤙🏻

[@wheetbread1]

ugh! the picking the skin off is the hardest thing to resist!! but definitely a good tip! (Arm tattoos) i usually try to wear a long sleeve shirt when possible so i cant see it haha. And if it gets itchy i move the sleeve to gently scratch it lol.

[@EvolveINK]

Yes, don’t scratch it! Lol

[@justinhwang3811]

The idea behind washing the tattoo thoroughly with water as hot as you can stand it (for the first ~3 days) is to loosen up any dried lymph and coagulated blood off the tattoo so it is gently washed off as opposed to being ripped off from the skin. Sometimes lukewarm water won’t be enough for the more hardened/stubborn ones. Leaving some of them on the tattoo usually will lead to scabbing which leads to a busted tattoo when healed. I also used cold water to close up the pores after every wash and my tattoo healed up great. That being said, everyone heals differently and the most qualified person to give aftercare advice is the artist. Great video man, looking forward to seeing more tattoo projects from you!

[@EvolveINK]

Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!

I don't apply too much aftercare cream but I do combat 'the itch' in the peeling phase by keeping unfragranced baby wipes in the fridge. When the itch occurs I gently dab the cold wipe against it and the moisture and coolness help alleviate the itch. I do 'dry heal' arm/upper body but do re-wrap calf tattoos when walking the dog through woods etc. What are your views on second skins like saniderm, where they recommend you keep them on for a few days? Personally I don't think it's for me and my tattoos have healed fine the way I've been doing it

Sanaderm/2nd skin is awesome as long as it’s not on an elbow inside or outside same thing for the knee, knuckle / hand…..

Reason for asking is that mineral sunscreen is really expensive! Thanks.

Realistically any type of sun screen will help protect your tattoos. There are some better then others but I wouldn’t worry about what one you use that much. What I do recommend is that you look into getting a high spf like 70 or higher lol.

[@bodhitones23]

Thanks for the advice, but question I know and understand the wearing loose clothing but what if you wear a work uniform like I do, and I wear the work top and a t-shirt underneath that. Now it isn't tight but some days it can get Abit humid and since I'm a waiter I'm in my feet alot and can sweat, and I plan to get my first tattoo from like shoulder area to just before the elbow. So what should I do, cause I'm a guy with a hairy chest and don't want to show all that when I'm working so I wear a t-shirt underneath my uniform.

[@EvolveINK]

If that is the case I’d recommend washing it a extra time just in case so no sweat stays laying on top of the tattoo

Can a new tattoo be red for a longer time with lots of shading? Like it's day two after I got my new tat and it's still red on the outside and certain spots with more shading

Im a 20 year old skinny guy too, i just got a japonese style sleeve tattoo. I kinda went through the same thing that you are going through rn. The streching isn't really a problem because even if it streches you can do a minor touch up to it, the veins arent e problem either. If you really want a tattoo and your parents are fine with it, look up tattoo styles find the style you want, find a good artist specialised in that style and he/she should have all the answers you need.

Do you think a good compromise is to leave it on for 3 days (the minimum amount they said) and then just let it breathe after that?

Is there a reason why you shouldn't wash off the peeling skin? The inks supposed to sit below that layer of skin. Not actually right on the surface. So doesn't seem like it would do anything. You lose skin everyday 🤷

[@EvolveINK]

So when you’re washing off the peels, you’re disturbing the skin trying to repair while at the same time extracting ink out. Those 2 things will cause a tattoo to look spotted and dull

@@EvolveINK but you're supposed to keep the tattoo clean. How do you clean it without the peels coming off?

@@FinalFlameXD there is a difference between washing and having pieces fall off on their own and washing to remove the pieces that are peeling. You don't want to rub or scrub the area, just a light massage with your finger tips using soap, rinse it off and pat dry. What falls off falls off during the process, you're not forcing it off if that makes sense.

@@trckn_151 yes that makes sense 😊 I was just curious. Because I have been washing off the peeling of my first tattoo. But I've never forced it off. Just gently rubbed with soap. Didn't seem to be damaging anything since it was already coming off

[@trckn_151]

@@FinalFlameXD as long as it's coming off naturally, as in you're not forcing it off, you're good.

I leave the tattoo wrapped up until the next morning let all the plasma come out.. wash it the next morning get all the shit off then leave it open wash 2-3 times a day and leave a thin layer of moisturiser through out the day 👌🏼

Everyone has different ways of healing a tattoo, however, like I mentioned in the video most artist tell their clients to unwrap the tattoo once they get home.

[@kiraburns5762]

Also, hot tubs, baths, pools, etc. can cause infections. Especially hot tubs. Ew.

Why complicate life, use Saniderm and live life.

[@EvolveINK]

There’s some things saniderm is really bad at. Some people get really bad allergic reactions

[@KaidenOrgana]

@@EvolveINK I am aware of adhesive allergies and to be fair that particular issue is not limited to Saniderm, nor is it caused by the Saniderm itself. Please do be 100% transparent when you make your point/s. Also there are other products similar to Saniderm which may work without the adhesive creating issues.

[@eliselex2786]

I really like your videos, but i noticed you are overusing sentence "with that being said" and it gets annoying sometimes

[@EvolveINK]

It’s my catch phrase 😂😂 yeah I need to be more mindful of saying that. Everyone has their words they say frequently 😂
