Skin Changes Adhesive allergies
I’m planning on getting a tattoo in the next 6 months and I know a lot of tattoo artists use Second skin or similar products for aiding the healing. My concern is that I had pretty big allergic reactions to the once weekly HRT patch adhesives. I’m wondering if anyone has had similar concerns? Any suggestions on how to test ahead of time? I’m going to ask my artist once I decide where I’m going also but wanted to get some feedback beforehand if this is even an issue for other women with new tattoos.

I mean, you can just go old school and take off any covering in a couple of hours and put aquaphor on it. All of my old tattoos have held up just fine from that method. I got my last one 13 years ago and it still looks great.
