When you cover a new tattoo with Tatu-derm® the adhesive will stick very well to dry skin forming a waterproof barrier. It will not stick to the new tattoo because it is moist and producing fluid. With coverage of an inch or more all around the tattoo, all body fluid will be contained. After 12 to 24 hours some fluid will build up. A little fluid is OK. If there is significant fluid build up the skin is under water and not breathing so the Tatu-derm® should be removed and reapplied.

If you are allergic to adhesive and redness occurs, remove the Tatu-derm® and discontinue use.
If the tattoo is dry or scabbed the adhesive will stick to it and it will be painful to remove.
