Tattoo aftercare seems easy on paper. Keep the area clean and moisturized to allow your body’s natural healing processes to work. But when you’ve just gotten a new tattoo and are dealing with some irritation and discomfort, things can get a little choppy.
What if you could streamline your aftercare and avoid some of the common problems associated with new ink? Wouldn’t it be great if you could speed up the healing process by avoiding long sequences of steps and pitfalls?
That’s exactly why we created the Tattoo Healing Patch, which provides a hassle-free approach to tattoo aftercare within the first 72 hours.
Learn how tattoo repair patches work and the benefits they offer over new ink during this important first stage of healing.
Why is tattoo aftercare important?
If you know anything about tattoos, you know that freshly inked skin needs all the help it can get. The skin is severely damaged by the tattoo, which penetrates about five layers of the epidermis. Additionally, ink can cause a mild immune reaction in the body, causing irritation and swelling.
With these factors in mind, the immediate goal is to create a hygienic and healthy environment for the skin after getting the tattoo. This is an emergency treatment situation. There’s no time to waste. This is the original inspiration behind the tattoo patch, which can be easily applied in minutes after the last stroke of the tattoo machine.
The concept of tattoo patch healing begins with protecting the tattoo from bacteria, dirt, and other airborne particles that pose potential dangers to new ink. This material is soft, sanitized, and contains a unique hydrogel matrix that moisturizes the area.
This will keep your skin clean, protected, and moisturized during those critical first few hours after getting your new tattoo. Locks in your skin’s natural moisture and plasma while providing additional nutritional properties when your skin needs it most.
This combination of hygiene and hydration provides a powerful one-two punch of immediate healing benefits. Every tattoo artist’s dream is to see their artwork carefully cared for immediately after the session is complete.
Breathable barrier for newly inked skin
With a solid protective layer in place, the ink is already scheduled for success due to the healing effects of the tattoo patch. But the benefits don’t stop there. The patch is also highly breathable, allowing the skin to undergo its natural healing process undisturbed.
Although the skin does not “breathe” like the lungs, it does require some level of oxygen exposure to maintain homeostasis. This is important in the healing process, where blood and lymph work over time to nourish the area and keep it healthy.
With this in mind, tattoo patches must be breathable to provide all the benefits. That’s why we designed the patch with breathability in mind. Unlike the typical arrangement of wrap or plastic covers, this patch allows for a healthy amount of airflow and proper overall functionality.
Meanwhile, the patch absorbs excess ink and plasma from newly inked skin, preventing these substances from building up and causing further problems. The result is an all-natural healing process that combines nourishing ingredients with the right amount of clean moisture for your new ink.
Comfortable cooling and soothing effects
We know – sitting through a tattoo session isn’t always a pleasant experience. However, if healing is your priority, discomfort is not an issue. In fact, you want to stay cool and calm while reducing irritation to your newly inked skin, and that’s exactly what the patch provides.
Comfort is important when repairing a new tattoo. This repair patch provides an unparalleled soothing cooling sensation to your skin. This can help reduce post-tattoo irritation while minimizing discomfort.
Formulated with ingredients like D-Panthenol and Olive Leaf Extract, our Repair Patches cool the affected area while providing extra support to the skin at critical points. It relieves itching, pain, and other unpleasant sensations, allowing you to enjoy the rest of your day after your session.
Ultimate convenience with stress-free aftercare
By the time your tattoo is completed, your body has been exposed to stress from all angles. Your skin is in emergency alert mode and all resources are rushing to the area for support. Blood sugar levels may be low. Hydration is necessary to restore body fluids. In other words, it’s a stressful experience in every way.
This is why using a tattoo patch can be such a lifesaver in the first few minutes after getting a tattoo. If you’re looking to free your mind from discomfort and stress, Patch simplifies that process in one easy step.
Simply apply the patch, add warm water, and peel off the top layer to allow your tattoo to breathe. From there, you can take a deep breath, mentally calm down, and just get on with your day.
There is no need to worry about the details of aftercare such as hygiene and moisturizing. This stress relief is a huge benefit of tattoo patches and cannot be overstated.
You can use multiple patches within 72 hours of receiving your tattoo, as long as you clean the area between applications. This is the easiest and most reliable way to heal your tattoo without the stress that usually comes with the experience.
Harness the healing power of tattoo patches
Once the top layer of your skin has healed and your tattoo begins to itch and peel, the first stage is complete. You can move from tattoo healing patches to skin-soothing repair gels to keep the process on track.
From there, your only job is to moisturize the area and maintain the tattooed skin until it fully heals in a month or so. Our tattoo patch is an innovative product for the first 72 hours of tattoo healing. This patch is just the beginning. Keep your ink looking great for years to come with our full range of Mad Rabbit products.
