Excited, newly tattooed people want to look at their ink, and the transparency of plastic wrap allows them to do so. Opaque gauze may tempt them to remove it prematurely so they can look at it. Plastic wrap is also not a medical-grade material.
The tattoo artist bandages your tattoo immediately following its completion to protect it while it oozes blood and plasma. A lowered defense system combined with an environment filled with airborne contaminants, like dust, allergens and debris, is risky.
The artist is also protecting the tattoo from your clothing, and protecting your clothing from the tattoo! Depending on the site where you get your tattoo, it may be covered by your clothing. If left unprotected, the tattoo will ooze plasma that will leak onto your clothes and may even cause them to stick to the area. From a practical standpoint, an unbandaged tattoo may even ruin your clothes with excess ink and blood staining them beyond repair.
Being too rough with your tattoo can damage it. Being overly cautious, however, can also have its downsides. As you go to remove your bandage, you may find that it has stuck to the tattoo. When the plasma dries up it becomes hard and it sort of cements the tattoo and gauze together. The best solution for this is to soak gauze with warm water for a few minutes, until the it loosens up. You will find a lot of tattoo artist use plastic wrap mainly because it allows the client to clearly see the finished tattoo.
Also, they claim that plastic wrap will shield the new tattoo from any dust or dirt preventing infection. No matter what bandage you use for your tattoo, it is important remove it after 3 hours and not re-bandage again. Wash off any slipper stuff using an antibacterial soup, pat dry and apply a thin film of your favorite tattoo aftercare lotion.
Reapply aftercare lotion when your tattoo dries up. Clean your tattoo with mild antibacterial soap and water. Wash your new tattoo every four to six hours. After washing, pat dry with a very clean cloth, then rewrap with fresh plastic. Your new tattoo will start to peel within those three to five days, flaking like a sunburn. Treat the dry and itchy skin with a no-additive moisturizer, and no scratching!
Your skin texture will return to normal as your tattoo heals. Ingrown hairs can also be uncomfortable during healing. So how the effing bleep do you decide which healing method is better for you or a particular tattoo? No matter how few or many tattoos you already have, there are a lot of variables: your skin condition in general, what your immune system is up to at the moment, your age, how much melanin you naturally have, the location of the new tattoo, your daily activity and routines The best answer is that your new tattoo is a collaboration.
You may start one healing method and need to switch. The key is to communicate with your tattoo artists just as closely after your new tattoo as you did before and during your new tattoo. Tattooing has been around for thousands of years.
