Hi! I was wondering if I could get some help or advice from someone about Tegaderm?
I got my tattoo yesterday at 2pm and I did the normal wash when I got home then I applied a non-adhesive dressing and went to sleep. When I woke up there was ink residue on the dressing so I washed the tattoo gently in the shower again and waited for it to dry before I applied a little bepanthen. I waited half an hour before applying the Tegaderm film at 10am (at this point it has been 18 hours after I got the tattoo). Its 12pm now and I just checked it and there is excess ink filling up in the film.
This is my first tattoo and i'm worried the excess build up of ink will inhibit the tattoo from healing properly. What should I do?
there is a before and after photo attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you :)
