Breathable protective film for fresh tattoos, from Hustle Butter, delivered in a roll format of 20 cm width and 8 m length. It is applied over the freshly done tattoo to protect it from friction, bumps and accidental contact, while also helping to retain secretions and excess fluid. The roll format is practical especially for artists and studios, because you can cut exactly as much as you need for each client, but it works just as well at home, for caring for your own tattoo.
Who is the 20 cm × 8 m roll format suitable for?▾
First and foremost for artists and studios: you cut exactly as much as you need for each client, from small symbols to large pieces, without being left with pre-sized unused pieces. However, it is also a good choice for home use, if you want a supply from which to cover tattoos of any shape and size.
How long should I keep the film on the tattoo?▾
The wearing time varies depending on the tattoo, skin type and the artist's recommendation, so follow the instructions received at the session and those of the manufacturer. As a general category rule, the first film is changed sooner than the following ones, because immediately after tattooing the skin releases the most secretions.
Is it normal for fluid to collect under the film?▾
Yes. In the first hours and days, the skin releases lymph and excess ink, and the film is designed precisely to retain these secretions and control leaks, maintaining a clean environment over the tattoo. If fluid accumulates excessively or the film no longer seals at the edges, clean the area and apply a new piece.
How do I remove the film without irritating the skin?▾
The easiest way is in the shower, under warm water: grab a corner and slowly pull the film back over itself, parallel to the skin — do not pull vertically. Then gently wash the tattoo with a mild soap, pat it dry with a clean towel (do not rub) and, if further protection is needed, apply a new piece only on clean and dry skin.
Can I use healing cream or ointment under the film?▾
It is not recommended. Creams applied under the film prevent proper adhesion of the edges and alter the environment underneath. Use the film directly on clean and dry skin, and continue the ointment or care cream routine after you have permanently stopped using the film, according to the artist's instructions.
Can I shower with the film applied?▾
The product data does not specify the degree of water resistance, so follow the instructions on the packaging. As a general rule for healing films, a short shower is usually tolerated if the edges are well sealed, but avoid prolonged soaking — bathtub, pool, sauna — and check the edges after contact with water.
