zombiequeefs Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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???
