Complete guide: Sorry Mom Tattoo Film roll 12m*15cm
Sorry Mom Tattoo Film is a polyurethane healing film, in a 12-meter roll and 15 cm wide, designed to protect fresh tattoos. It's suitable both for artists and studios with a high client flow, who need a generous supply of material, and for anyone wanting an alternative to the classic bandage in the first days of healing. Produced by the Danish brand Sorry Mom, the film relies on a hypoallergenic adhesive and a breathable barrier that lets the skin 'breathe' while protecting it from external factors.
How to use
- Clean the tattooed area according to your artist's instructions and let the skin dry completely before application — the film won't adhere well to damp skin.
- Measure the tattoo and cut a piece from the roll a few centimeters larger on each side; the roll width is fixed at 15 cm, so for wider tattoos use two overlapping pieces 1-2 cm.
- Peel off the film's protective paper gradually, not all at once, for better control during application.
- Apply the film starting from the center of the tattoo toward the edges, pressing gently with the palm of your hand to remove air bubbles from under the film.
- Check the edges after application — they must be uniformly adhered, without creases, so the protective barrier is continuous.
- Keep the first film on for approximately 24 hours, then remove it carefully.
- Apply a second film, which is typically kept for 3-5 days — the recommended total duration is 4-7 days, depending on the size of the tattoo and your artist's recommendation.
- When removing, work slowly, ideally under a lukewarm shower, which softens the adhesive and reduces discomfort.
Tips from us
- Use clean, sharp scissors when cutting from the roll, for straight edges and even adhesion.
- You can shower normally while wearing the film, but avoid prolonged immersion — bathtub, pool, jacuzzi, or sauna — for the entire wearing period.
- If you notice an edge lifting after a shower, press it gently back down instead of removing the whole film prematurely.
- For tattoos wider than 15 cm, overlap two pieces by 1-2 cm instead of stretching a single piece over the roll's width.
- The 12 m roll is especially useful for high-volume studios, where frequent use justifies keeping a large supply of material.
Warning: Remove the film immediately if signs of irritation, severe redness, intense itching, or other unusual reactions occur, and consult your artist or a doctor if they persist. The adhesive is described as hypoallergenic and latex-free, but for known sensitive skin, a patch test on a small area is recommended before applying to the tattoo. Do not apply to open or unclean skin and do not reuse a piece of film once removed — always use a fresh, cleanly cut piece from the roll.
Frequently asked questions
How much material do I get from one roll and how many tattoos does it cover?▾
The roll is 12 meters long and 15 cm wide, which equals 1800 cm² of film. It's enough for approximately 20-35 small tattoos or 10-15 medium tattoos, depending on their size and how many film changes you do during healing.
Can I shower with the film on?▾
Yes, the film is water-resistant and allows normal showers without compromising the protective barrier. However, avoid prolonged immersion — bathtub, pool, jacuzzi, or sauna — for the entire wearing period, and after showering check the edges and press them down gently if they've lifted partially.
How does Sorry Mom Tattoo Film compare to Dermalize Pro?▾
Both are professional-grade polyurethane films. The Sorry Mom roll offers 12 meters, compared to 10 meters for Dermalize, so more material at a competitive price. The adhesive quality and permeability are comparable — the choice generally comes down to artist preference and the quantity-to-price ratio.
How long should the film be kept on the tattoo?▾
The recommended protocol is to keep the first film on for about 24 hours, then replace it with a second film worn for 3-5 days. The total wear time varies between 4 and 7 days, depending on the size of the tattoo and your artist's specific recommendation.
Does the film contain latex or can it cause allergies?▾
The adhesive is described as hypoallergenic, and the polyurethane material is latex-free. However, if you know you have sensitivities to medical adhesives, a patch test on a small area of skin is recommended before applying the film to your tattoo.
Can I cut the film to any size from the roll?▾
Yes, the roll can be cut to any length you need, with the width remaining fixed at 15 cm. Use clean, sharp scissors for a precise cut, and for tattoos wider than 15 cm you can apply two overlapping pieces 1-2 cm.
