Complete guide: Suprasorb F roll 10cmx1M for wrapping the tattoo
It is a transparent, self-adhesive medical film from Lohmann & Rauscher, a kind of 'second skin' made of semi-permeable polyurethane, which protects the fresh tattoo from germs and liquids and keeps the area in a moist healing environment. Being semi-permeable, it allows the skin to 'breathe' and is permeable to water vapor, while its transparency lets you monitor the tattoo without removing the film. It comes as a roll 10 cm wide × 1 m long, so you cut exactly the piece you need — ideal for artists and clients who want a healing film aftercare for small and medium tattoos.
How to use
- At the end of the session, clean the tattoo with water and a fragrance-free antibacterial soap, then rinse thoroughly.
- Pat the area dry gently with a clean paper towel — do not rub the freshly tattooed skin.
- Cut a piece from the roll a few centimeters larger than the design on each side, so the adhesive also sticks to the healthy surrounding skin.
- Blot any excess plasma or ink off the skin before application — the film adheres poorly to a wet surface.
- Peel off the backing and apply the film without stretching it, starting from one end to the other.
- Smooth out air bubbles by pressing from the center outward and press the edges firmly onto the surrounding skin.
- The first film is typically worn for about 24 hours; then you remove it, clean off the accumulated plasma and excess ink, and, if needed, apply a new film for a few more days.
- When removing, do so under lukewarm running water, pulling it off slowly and laterally, not yanking it off abruptly.
Tips from us
- Cut the film larger than the tattoo: the edges must adhere to healthy skin, not to the fresh ink.
- The roll format gives you flexibility — you cut exactly as much as you need without waste, and 1 meter covers several small tattoos.
- You can shower with the film on, but avoid prolonged water exposure and scrubbing the area.
- If a lot of fluid accumulates under the film, change it sooner and clean the area before applying a new one.
- For areas with moving joints (wrist, ankle) press the edges well so the film doesn't peel off with movement.
- Apply on completely dry skin; residual moisture weakens adhesion and causes the film to lift.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Suprasorb F and why is it used for tattoos?▾
It is a transparent medical polyurethane film produced by Lohmann & Rauscher, used as a healing film over fresh tattoos. Being semi-permeable, it protects the tattoo from germs and external liquids and maintains a moist environment at the skin level while allowing water vapor exchange. Its transparency lets you monitor the tattoo without removing the film, and the hypoallergenic adhesive is designed not to irritate sensitized skin.
How long do I leave the film on the tattoo?▾
Typically the first film is worn for about 24 hours, during which most plasma and excess ink accumulate. Then you remove it, clean the area, and can apply a new film for a few more days. The exact duration depends on how much fluid your tattoo produces and your artist's recommendation — if a lot of fluid accumulates under the film, change it sooner.
Can I shower with the film on my skin?▾
Yes, the film is self-adhesive and can be worn in the shower as it is water-resistant from the outside. However, avoid prolonged exposure to running water, immersion baths, and scrubbing the area. After the shower, check the edges; if they have lifted, it's a sign the film needs to be changed.
How do I remove it correctly and what hygiene rules should I follow?▾
Remove it under lukewarm running water, pulling it off slowly and laterally (not upward) to avoid tugging the skin or fine scabs. Wash your hands beforehand, use a new piece of film for each application, and never reuse a detached portion — it is a disposable product. After removal, gently clean the tattoo before applying a new film if necessary.
How does it differ from Saniderm or Dermalize?▾
All are semi-permeable medical polyurethane films with the same role as a 'second skin' in aftercare. The practical difference is the format: Suprasorb F comes as a roll from which you cut the exact size needed, while dedicated tattoo brands often come in pre-cut pieces. In terms of basic properties — transparency, semi-permeability, hypoallergenic adhesive — they are comparable; the choice depends on format and personal preference.
Is the 10 cm wide roll sufficient for a large tattoo?▾
The 10 cm width is suitable especially for small and medium tattoos — wrist, ankle, fingers, narrow areas — and for any design up to 10 cm wide. For large pieces, a single 10 cm strip may not cover everything; in such cases, you need a wider format or several strips applied carefully, avoiding uncovered edges.
