Zillah got a reaction from SStu in Tegaderm/Saniderm/Tatuderm healing process
It looks to me (nurse) that you might be allergic to adhesive tape/second skin
I would be gently washing 2-3x per day with warm water and a scent free/antibacterial soap for sensitive skin, and using a tattoo cream/bepanthen
If it starts to blister or the redness begins spreading I would go back to the tattooist or to a GP nurse to check it out for you, particularly if it smells or weeps as you may need antibiotics. It looks okay at the moment though!

Zillah got a reaction from Hollie in Tegaderm/Saniderm/Tatuderm healing process
I was nursing in a busy inpatient ward at the time, so it's likely I picked it up from my workplace 🙂
edited to add: Sorry, I didn't mean the MRSA travelled through air, I meant the air and fluids mixed to create the best environment for MRSA to thrive

After being in hospital last December for 2 weeks with cellulitis that was caused by an infection brewing under tegiderm (that had sprung air pockets I had patched over), I will never use the damn stuff again. It was a large area (whole front of thigh) and I could have lost my leg. The infection brewed within 48hrs and became MRSA positive.
Back to soap and hot water for me, always did the trick before!

Zillah got a reaction from JazzyMac in Tattoo Myths and Misconceptions
That tattoos can give you STDs! I just saw this on a tattooist's website.
"Tattooing carries a risk of STDs and other nasty things infecting you, and you wouldn’t want to catch any of those."
If you're getting sexually transmitted diseases from a tattooist, it's not the needle they're sticking you with.

Zillah reacted to Hands On in Latest tattoo lowdown.....
Who better than Chris Garver to fill a crucial spot on my forearm? I requested his rendition of a phoenix inspired by a line drawing in Ed Hardy's latest book, "Drawings for Tattoos." Aside from that, I told him to do it however he wants. I guess he wanted to make it perfect and pink. "Well... it's more of a coral." Either way, I'm digging it and I feel much more complete!
