Artimus_Twitch Brynn Darling its actually not a good way to heal a wound. bacteria is trapped by the plastic, and it just heats up and makes a hot, squishy nest for bacteria to grow, promoting infection. the bandage is used to soak up everything, while still allowing your tattoo to breath. If you follow your aftercare, it shouldn't matter what you're bandaged with, but plastic wrap is just the cheap way of bandaging when they can't buy real bandages and nice gauze and tape and stuff. sweatdrop Plastic wrap is good for some things... I only leave it on for maube 3-4 hours after though...or until I get home. That scabs wont stick to it and pull off, and it doesnt really scab for the most part under it. My favorate is meat packing, honestly... its plasticy so wont stick and it soaks up all the blood and leakage. Again I only leave it on for a few hours. Its better then what I see in the mall I have a job in(it has three different tattoo shops, yay for the second biggest mall in the world) but plastic wrap is much better then paper towel and masking tape gonk
Ditto... we call em' chicken diapers! Leaving the plastic wrap on for more than an hour is just bad; especially for larger pieces that produce a lot of heat... it basically just gets to be a petre dish of bacteria. AND increases scabbing, which we all know, the more scabs and the thicker they are... blotchy and dull color. Also, FYI, artists use Vasoline while and after tattooing to help your new wound clot quicker and for other trade secrets with ink and so forth. It is NOT intended for after-care!

Seran wrap doesn't help the healing process. It gets smothered, sweaty, bacteria.... gross.
Just leave the seran wrap on for a few hours, if you get it done at night you could leave it on till the morning so you don't get your bed sheets gross, but after that it should be un-wrapped. moisturized twice a day with Tattoo Goo, A&D, or plain old Lubriderm.
As for washing, you should rinse as soon as the wrap comes off with cold water, moisturize, then rinse once a day after that with cold water to get lotion build up off, which will gum up the scab, and make it more likely to come off and look like s**t.
