Complete guide: Pro Wrap 5cm x 4.5m Black
The self-adhesive cohesive bandage is the basic hygiene consumable in a tatoo studio. It wraps around the machine's grip to create a clean barrier for each client and can secure dressings on fresh tatoos without sticking to the skin. The black variant, with a width of 5 cm and length of 4.5 m, fits standard grips, and the dark color discreetly masks ink stains during the session. It is a practical choice for both experienced artists and those just starting out.
How to use
- Start with a clean and disinfected grip, with clean gloves on your hands.
- Secure the end of the bandage on the grip and start wrapping, stretching the material moderately (not to maximum) for even compression.
- Overlap each turn over the previous one, so that you completely cover the surface you touch during work.
- If needed, also catch the machine's cable in the bandage to keep it tidy, away from the working area.
- At the end, gently press the last turn to adhere to the previous turn — it fixes itself without additional adhesive tape.
- After each client, unwrap the bandage, discard it as medical waste (single-use), and clean/disinfect the grip.
- For securing dressings on a fresh tattoo: first place a sterile compress on the skin and only then wrap the bandage over it, never directly on the wound.
Tips from us
- Stretch the bandage in a controlled manner, not to the maximum — moderate tension holds better and avoids unnecessary tightness.
- The black color hides ink stains, so the grip stays looking clean throughout the session.
- Being latex-free, it is a safe option for clients and artists sensitive to latex.
- Keep a few spare rolls in stock — a consumable runs out quickly if you work multiple clients per day.
- Store the rolls in a dry place away from dust, so the material retains its cohesive properties.
Warning: It is a single-use consumable: change the bandage on the grip for each client as part of the hygiene protocol. Do not reuse it and do not apply it directly to a wound — always place a sterile compress between the fresh tattoo and the bandage. The used bandage comes into contact with biological fluids and must be disposed of as medical waste, not in household trash.
Frequently asked questions
Does the bandage stick to skin or hair?▾
No. It is cohesive, meaning it only adheres to itself. Thus it wraps tightly around the grip and peels off easily at the end, without pulling on skin or hair and without leaving residue.
Does it fit on my machine's grip?▾
The 5 cm width covers standard 25 mm diameter grips used on pen and rotary machines. For narrower areas, the product is also available in the 2.5 cm version.
How many wraps do I get from one roll?▾
At 4.5 m length, one roll generally covers 3-5 complete wraps, depending on how much you overlap the turns and the size of the grip.
Does it resists green soap and ink during the session?▾
Yes. The material resists green soap, tattoo ink, and sterile water, maintaining its cohesion even after prolonged contact with liquids.
Is it suitable for people allergic to latex?▾
Yes, it is 100% latex-free, so it can be used without worry of latex reactions, both by the artist and around the client.
Can I reuse the bandage for the next client if it looks clean?▾
No. It is a single-use consumable: it is changed for every client, regardless of appearance, and disposed of as medical waste. Reuse defeats the purpose of the hygiene barrier.

Pro Wrap elastic bandage 5cm x 4.5m Black is the classic and most popular variant in the Pro Wrap cohesive self-adhesive bandage range, the standard choice for professional tattoo studios across Romania and Europe. Black offers the most professional and discreet appearance, integrating perfectly into any studio's aesthetics without being distracting. Technical properties are the benchmark: perfect cohesion (adheres only to itself, not to skin, hair, or gloves), controlled elasticity allowing ergonomic grip wrapping, complete resistance to green soap, tattoo ink, and sterile water, and 100% latex-free composition. The 5 cm width optimally covers the standard 25mm diameter grips of pen and rotary machines, and the 4.5m length provides 3-5 complete wraps per roll. Black is also the most practical — it masks the inevitable ink stains during sessions, maintaining a clean appearance throughout the work. Primary use: grip-wrapping with change for each client (mandatory hygiene protocol), securing dressings on fresh tattoos as an adhesive tape alternative, machine cable protection. The material withstands 4-6 hour sessions without degradation. This is the bandage every studio should permanently have in stock. Also available in 2.5 cm for narrower applications. CE compliant, lot-traceable.
