You wanna rebandage your tattoo to SWIM? No, no, no.
Let us tell you why:
🦠💉Without proper application, there's a risk of infection! If you touch something contaminated, it could be trapped under the bandage and fester. Leave the bandaging to the professionals!
⏳ There's a window for bandaging and it closes quickly! Once that window closes, scabs will have formed, scabs that protect ink!
When you place an adhesive bandage over formed scabs or flakes will RIP THEM OUT, along with the ink you paid for!
👀💲We can tell when you're naughty, and touch ups due to negligence aren't free
🧪☀️ You don't want the sun to react with that adhesive, or any kind of chemicals in that adhesive and bake it!
🚼 Kids p*e and poo in the pool, bro. Waterproof bandages aren't really 100% reliable under sooo many different variables! Imagine you accidentally scratch the bandage off and come in contact with all those germs.
Play it safe! Your immune system will thank you, your tattoo will thank you and the tattoo gods will smile kindly upon you. The pool will always be there, buuuut your flesh might not be if you catch some flesh eating bacteria 🧫 🤣
