Ankle tattoo under uniform

[zombiequeefs]

Hey everyone, I got an ankle tattoo yesterday, tomorrow I go back to work and my uniform consists of skinnyjeans and boots. Should I wrap it to avoid the friction of the jeans fabric damaging my tattoo?

If you have something rubbing on it you will get scabs.

I know, I asked for a solution to that problem.

well,yes,wrapping it will help,put on something like Aquafor or cocoa butter under saran.

next time ,something like these dermal films below will solve that problem if you buy it before,I get mine online,

unless you can find it locally.

like Saniderm or tegaderm , you should be able to find Tegaderm at walgreens,target,or CVS

these products are great stuff for healing tattoos IMO,I have used them for a few years now with great success.   

you leave it on a tattoo for a few days,you can shower and sleep with it on and no hassle.

I just ordered some saniderm. It looks like it fits pretty securely. Better than I was thinking it would. Are the edges sticky or does it just adhere to itself or???

[SStu]

there are a couple of extensive saniderm threads on this site for you to reference.

Cool! I'll do a search and see what I can learn.

it's self adhesive,there is a peel off layer and trust me,it sticks really well,and I already had referenced a thread here at LST in my previous post in this thread,
