Thanks to all that responded. I took it off last night and some of the tattoo was already in the "sunburn peel" stage. I wont have another film to apply until tonight but I am not even sure it is worth putting it on this far after getting tattooed. It has been lotioned all day at work today. What do you think, apply another application or just stay with lotioning? The film is obviously a lot less maintenance and easier for me as I have to keep running downstairs to the bathroom to put on the lotion while I am at work.

Here is a pic. As you can see there a pretty decent size "puddle" that moves to the bottom when I stand up.

I am looking for some input on what you might consider a lot of "liquid" under the tegaderm. My story: tattooed from about 2:30-5:30 on saturday. washed and air dried sunday and most of monday. monday night after work showered and air dried then applied the tegaderm to the tattoo. this was around 6pm i believe. i have accumulated a pretty decent amount of fluid under the film. My question is, is there a point where the amount of fluid underneath would be cause for concern. I am not experiencing any pain or anything, but the amount is so much that every part of my tattoo is "wet" by it. It also moves around, like I could essentially make it all on the left or all on the right. I will take pictures when I get home to show you what I mean. Edit: forgot to include that it begins about 3 inches above my right knee and is roughly the size of a blu ray case. I ended up using one whole 8x12 sheet for it.
