Product details

Emalla Second Skin Tattoo Cover is a thin, stretchable, waterproof film sold as three full rolls (2", 4", 6" x 2.2 yd) designed to protect fresh and healing tattoos while allowing the skin to breathe.

This pack gives you three versatile sizes so you can cover small pieces, medium art, or large panels without bulky dressings. The transparent film adheres to clean, dry skin and moves with the body, offering a near-invisible barrier against everyday friction, moisture, and contaminants. It’s a practical option for people who want to keep their ink visible while managing exposure during showers, workouts, and daily life.

How do I apply Emalla Second Skin quickly and securely?

Application is straightforward: trim the film to the shape you need, remove the backing, and press the adhesive side onto the skin, smoothing out any wrinkles. Firmly press the edges to ensure a good seal and replace the bandage if it starts to lift or becomes saturated.

  • Cut to fit: trim with scissors for exact coverage.
  • Apply to clean, dry skin for best adhesion.
  • Smooth from center outward to remove air pockets.
  • Press edges down firmly for a secure seal.

Will this film stay on during showers, swimming, or exercise?

The film is designed to resist water and everyday moisture so it keeps protection in place during short showers and everyday sweat. For extended, repetitive submersion (long swims) or very abrasive contact, check the adhesion and replace the patch if needed.

  • Waterproof barrier shields from brief showers and splashes.
  • Flexible adhesive tolerates normal movement and sweat.
  • Replace if edges lift or after heavy immersion.
  • Transparent surface lets you check the tattoo without removing it.

How do the different roll sizes help with coverage and convenience?

The three-roll assortment includes narrow, medium, and wide widths so you can match the film to the area being covered—wrist and ankle pieces, chest or back panels, and sleeve-length stretches. Having multiple widths reduces waste and makes it faster to prepare dressings at home or in a tattoo studio.

  • 2" roll: ideal for small spots and joints.
  • 4" roll: great for medium designs like forearms and calves.
  • 6" roll: suited for larger areas or continuous coverage.
  • Each roll is 2.2 yards, enough for multiple applications.

How is the Emalla film different from bulky bandages or gauze?

Unlike bulky dressings, this film is ultra-thin and conforms closely to skin contours so it’s less noticeable under clothing. It reduces friction without adding significant thickness and peels away cleanly, minimizing residue and discomfort during removal.

  • Ultra-thin film stays low-profile under clothes.
  • Elastic stretch follows natural movement of skin.
  • Clear transparency allows visual checks of the area.
  • Removes cleanly when you need to change it.

Who is this for: Emalla Second Skin Tattoo Cover is made for new tattoo recipients, artists assembling aftercare kits, and anyone who wants discreet, breathable protection for ink during daily activities. It’s useful for people who need a waterproof, flexible dressing in multiple widths — from small wrist pieces to larger back or sleeve tattoos — and prefer a near-invisible option that’s quick to apply and replace.

FAQ

Q: Can I swim with Emalla Second Skin on?

A: Short swims and showering are fine, but replace the film if it lifts or after prolonged immersion.

Q: How long will each patch stay secure?

A: It typically adheres for days with normal activity; replace sooner if edges peel or moisture builds up.
