Why PU Bandage Tape is the best bandage for new tattoos?

Why do I need a bandage for a new tattoo?

When you get a tattoo for the first time, it must be cleaned and treated before it can be wrapped. Once your tattoo artist has covered your new tattoo with ointment and wrapped it in cellophane or cling film, all you need to worry about is the scab that forms as it heals. You don't want to suffocate your tattoo by keeping it wrapped for too long, two hours at most. But if you leave the scabs exposed to air and bacteria, they will dry out and fall off prematurely. That's why you need to keep a fresh bandage on your tattoo until the scabs fall off naturally.

Aside from protecting the delicate skin while the wound heals, there are other things you want from the ideal bandage for your new tattoo. It should be waterproof, you can shower as much as you want, and don't worry about your tattoo or wound it shouldn't tear the delicate scars when it's removed; this could make them bleed again. If you have sensitive skin, such as eczema or psoriasis, an allergy-free option is best to give your skin some relief during the recovery period after the tattoo.

Why you shouldn't use a regular adhesive bandage for your tattoo？

You should not use regular adhesive bandages for your new tattoo. They are not made of the same material as PU bandage tape, which means they can cause allergic reactions. They are also not breathable. If the bandage sticks to your new ink, when you remove it, it may pull off some of the ink and even your skin. This will leave a spotted area that needs to be repaired or may cause an infection.

Even if you are okay with the risks of using bandages for tattoos, it is not worth the risk, as there are other options that work better and are less likely to cause problems.

What is PU bandage tape?

First of all, PU bandage tape is composed of a very good waterproof PU material, with a hypoallergenic adhesive on the back and a grid-like backing paper at the bottom, which we can freely cut to size and is very easy to use. This tape has very good ductility, waterproof, can be well adhered to the surface of the skin, and has a breathable function, is the best choice for us to protect the wound.

PU bandage tape is also known as tattoo dressing tape, wound dressing bandage

In order that the quality of the tattoo is not compromised, professional tattoo artists and home tattoo stores recommend the use of bandages specifically designed for tattoos. These items are specifically designed for your new tattoo in order to give it a "durable" and waterproof effect. And we often see this type of tape in hospitals during surgical trauma treatment.
