Tattoo aftercare sounds simple at first glance – just keep the area clean and moisturized to encourage your body’s natural healing process. But if you’ve just gotten a new tattoo and are dealing with inflammation and discomfort, things can be a bit more uncertain.
What if you could streamline aftercare and avoid some of the common issues that come with new ink? Wouldn’t it be great if you could speed up the healing process without a lengthy series of steps and potential pitfalls?
That’s why we developed the Tattoo Healing Patch for hassle-free tattoo aftercare within the first 72 hours.
Learn how tattoo repair patches work and how they can benefit your new ink during this important first stage of healing.
Why is tattoo aftercare important?
If you know anything about tattoos, you know that freshly tattooed skin needs all the care it can get. The tattoo penetrates about five layers of the epidermis, causing serious damage to the skin. Additionally, tattoos can trigger a mild immune response in the body, resulting in inflammation and swelling.
With these factors in mind, your immediate goal is to have your skin in a hygienic and healthy state after getting your tattoo. This is a situation that requires urgent care and you can’t waste any time. This was the initial idea for tattoo patches. Tattoo patches can be easily applied within minutes of the last stroke of your tattoo machine.
The concept of healing tattoo patches starts with protecting your tattoo from bacteria, dirt, and other airborne particles that are potentially dangerous to your new ink. The material is soft, sanitized, and contains a unique hydrogel matrix that moisturizes the area.
This keeps your skin clean, protected and hydrated during those critical first few hours after getting your new tattoo, locking in your skin’s natural moisture and plasma to provide extra nourishment when your skin needs it most.
The combination of hygiene and hydration will have an immediate and powerful healing effect, and it’s every tattoo artist’s dream to see their creations well-cared for right after they’ve finished.
A breathable barrier for newly implanted skin
The healing properties of the tattoo patch create a protective layer to set your ink up for success, but the benefits don’t end there – the patch is also breathable, allowing your skin to carry out its natural healing process unhindered.
Although the skin does not “breathe” like lungs, it does need some exposure to oxygen to maintain homeostasis, which is important during the healing process when blood and lymphatic fluids are working in overdrive to keep it nourished and healthy.
With this in mind, a tattoo patch won’t perform at its best unless it’s breathable, which is why we designed our patch with breathability in mind. Unlike the common method of using plastic wrap or plastic covers, this patch allows for proper airflow and overall functionality.
Meanwhile, the patch absorbs excess ink and plasma from the newly placed skin, preventing these substances from building up and causing further problems. The result is a completely natural healing process that combines nourishing ingredients with just the right amount of clean moisture for your new ink.
Cooling effect and soothing comfort
We know that sitting through a tattoo application isn’t always a pleasant experience. But if healing is your number one priority, discomfort isn’t an issue. In fact, you want to stay cool and soothed while minimizing irritation to your newly tattooed skin. The patch does just that.
Comfort is paramount when healing a new tattoo, and this repair patch provides unparalleled comfort and a cooling sensation on the skin, helping to minimise post-tattoo discomfort and providing relief from any post-tattoo discomfort.
Formulated with ingredients like D-Panthenol and Olive Leaf Extract, our repair patches provide great support for the skin at critical times while cooling the area, relieving itching, pain and other discomforts so you can feel great for the rest of your day after your session.
Stress-free aftercare for ultimate convenience
By the time your tattoo is complete, your body is dealing with stress from every angle. Your skin goes into emergency mode, and all resources are rushing to that area to support you. Your blood sugar is probably low, so you need to hydrate and restore fluids. In other words, it’s a stressful experience on all fronts.
That’s why a tattoo patch can be a lifesaver during the first few minutes after getting your tattoo. If you want to be free from discomfort and stress, a patch can simplify the process in one easy step.
Simply apply the patch, add warm water, peel off the top layer so your tattoo can breathe, take a deep breath, calm down, and go about your day.
No need to worry about hygiene, moisturizing, or the finer points of aftercare – this stress relief is a huge benefit of tattoo patches and it cannot be overstated.
You can use the patch multiple times for the first 72 hours after getting your tattoo, but you must keep the area clean after each patch. This is the easiest and most reliable way to heal your tattoo, without the stress that usually comes with getting a tattoo.
Harness the healing power of tattoo patches
Once the top layer of skin has healed and your tattoo has begun to itch and peel, the first stage is complete and you can move on from the tattoo healing patch to a soothing repair gel to keep your treatment on track.
From there, all you need to do is focus on keeping the tattooed area moisturized and caring for your skin until it is fully healed, which can take up to a month. Our Tattoo Patch is a revolutionary product to use during the first 72 hours of your tattoo’s healing process. This patch is just the beginning; use all of our Mad Rabbit products to keep your tattoo beautiful for years to come.
