both sides of the saniderm have a sanitary peel off sheet,one side peels off and is sticky to apply to the skin,and once it's applied then you peel off the outer sanitary backing sheet. and then you barely know it's there, How to care for a new Tattoo using Saniderm - YouTube ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, . How To Use Saniderm | | SanidermSaniderm this is my right knee, F.A.Q. | | SanidermSaniderm "How does Saniderm work? In layman’s terms, Saniderm locks in the body’s natural moisture and healing enzymes, allowing the body to heal itself in the most efficient manner possible. After tissue has been injured the body goes through autolytic debridement – a big word for the body’s natural process of removing dead and dying tissue. During this process moisture and enzymes are produced to help break down dead tissue and, in normal circumstances, they dry up and evaporative which reduces their effectiveness. When this happens, longer healing times are required and scabbing and scarring may occur. Saniderm locks in these healing enzymes, called autolysins, and allows the skin to continue to function as normal because the bandage is permeable to oxygen and water vapor (breathable). In addition, Saniderm protects against dirt and germs while eliminating friction and other irritations that might further interfere with the healing process. How will it affect my ink? Saniderm’s adhesive will not attach to the weeping area of a tattoo, therefore it can never damage or pull out ink. In fact, customers report that the colors of their tattoo remain more vibrant after using Saniderm, compared to tattoos that have healed by other aftercare products." and it was used on both my knee pieces and they healed perfectly,and even on a tough to heal body joint like the knee. I also used it on this large piece . and it was so easy and healed so well and so fast I couldn't believe it,non of these 3 ever scabbed at all !

I have had experience with Saniderm on 3 tattoos in the last few months,2 medium & one large, I have the artist clean the tattoo right when it's done and apply it then ,with nothing on the tattoo except the saniderm, & like was said I keep it on for at least 3 days,on my knee it was on for 4 days,the shit works great,I remove the film and use aquafor for a few days,then go to fragrance free lubriderm, a day or 2 after I remove the film it's already doing the main peel, I buy it directly from Saniderm | Keep it Clean. Keep it Simple. ,I get the 10" by 2 yards roll,it's $16.95 + $7 shipping for me(central cal),that way it covers large or whatever size pieces,I love the stuff !

really really nice one, :) it blows my ship away

great info you have posted in this thread,thanks :)

ya,I agree,except IMO the inside wrist were pretty bad,the elbows were not bad really.

welcome to these fun forums ! Australia is so cool,I would love to vacation there sometime, I have a friend that lives in Adelaide, him & his wife have been asking me to come visit for a while,I can stay with them, :) I would love to see the beaches there, do you have to cover your tattoos at work ? preschool kids can be a handful ! do you have a pet Kangaroo ?

well I'm not biased,I want to see the other pieces bro !

so where is all the pics from the show !?!?!???!!??!??!?!??!!??!???!?!

" hey kid ! sign on the dotted line & we will let you go die for your country,but you can't have any tattoos while doing it". :rolleyes:

it has a very comfortable feel to it,the other artists & Geo are real nice too,and I liked the music they played all day.

so I got it done,Dave Gibson did this piece on my left knee on Sunday. . .

hopefully the Bart strike will be over by next weekend.the Bay area is bad enough when Bart is running.

I found this in a search here,I have a friend in Tracy I am staying with in nor cali for a minute and I will be at Quarter Horse for an appt with Dave Gibson this sunday(10/20),I am excited about it.

sounds like it will look & sound good on BR too then ! and I saw Iron Man 3 lastnight,and it's not nearly as good IMO as the first 2. . 2.5 out of 5 for me.

great looking piece,perfect for a knee tattoo

I'm with you on the face,no face for me,my neck is cool IMO, but not my penis for sure,and I would probably not do palms or armpits either.

I looked at it,it's very nice !

I got this in aug of this year,I like this style a lot. I got this from Jess Yen,until I got to the show,I did'nt even know what it was going to look like,I told him to do what he wanted. there are also a lot of other styles of tiger tattoos that I like as well though. I am very happy with this one. . .

I agree,35 hours is a descent amount of time to do a really good piece.

:update: so I had my consult with Dave today,and we nailed it all down & I will be getting the piece from him on October 20th,pics to follow ! I'm excited !

wow ! may as well just award 1st place now for October ! it's over ! with this work. :) very nice

I have a consult with Dave Gibson this Sunday for a piece on my left knee at Quarter Horse Tattoo in Stockton,ca.

yes,similar stuff,it's Saniderm,I swear by it. I bought a roll of it and always take it with me when getting work done. http://saniderm.com/ I'll bet they ship to your part of the world.

I got this done on wed (09/25) on my right knee by Sam Shaw at http://kulturetattoo.com/public_html on Kauai . . . . .
