Tegaderm is what @sashayaway has been using to cover her more recent tattoos with and it seems to work very well. It can be useful to have an extra pair of hands to get it on nicely and trim but once on it stays put (I think we taped the edges to be certain) and wasn't tricky to remove at all, not did it pull the skin underneath. It's not sticky as such but much more like a better cling film (I'm not doing it justice there.)

as long as the healing process stays wet, there will not be scab.

Just been looking at tattoo healing etc and found some people use Tegaderm to wrap their tattoos from day 2 or so for a few days. Anyone has expereince with it?
I have used it for medical purpose and it's great but it's basically a thin waterproof ish sticky film, so wouldn't it pull out the scab / new skin / soft skin, whatever you want to call it from the tattooed area?
