Using TATTOO SPRAY®
TATTOO SPRAY® is a registered and certified medical device for protecting fresh tattoos. It forms a breathable, protective barrier that replaces clingfilm, adhesive wraps and gels. It is not cosmetic, not perfume and not hand made. It is produced entirely in the UK under ISO 13485 and GMP with a full Quality Management System, Declarations of Conformity and medical device insurance. It is fragrance-free because fragrance has no place on freshly tattooed skin.
CLEAN — Wash with a fragrance-free, pH-balanced antibacterial or antimicrobial soap. Rinse warm, then cool.
DRY — Pat dry with a clean towel or sterile gauze.
SPRAY — Apply 2 to 3 light coats, allowing each to dry about 60 seconds.
REPEAT — Wash off and reapply every 24 hours for up to 5 days.
Warm to cool rinse — Warm improves surfactant action and removes plasma and lubricant. Cool calms the area and reduces weeping.
Barrier — The film is semi-occlusive and oxygen-permeable. It supports re-epithelialisation while avoiding maceration.
Hygiene — Ethanol reduces surface microbial load during application.
Technique — Several light coats give even, flexible coverage.
Let the tattoo settle and weep, then CLEAN, DRY and spray.
Fine line or micro-linework — 10 to 15 minutes. Aim for a clean, dry surface with minimal weep.
Medium saturation or mixed styles — 15 to 25 minutes. Remove excess plasma during CLEAN.
Heavy saturation, colour packing or full-day sessions — 20 to 30 minutes. Prioritise thorough CLEAN and DRY to avoid trapping excess fluid under the barrier.
Important: Poor technique or severely overworked skin cannot be corrected or protected by TATTOO SPRAY®. The product protects good work and good prep. It does not fix trauma.
Up to 24 hours, depending on washing and activity. It wears off naturally as skin regenerates.
It is not waterproof. If it gets wet, CLEAN, DRY, then reapply a thin coat.
Compatibility and Restrictions
No. Do not combine with balms, creams, foams, oils, gels, wraps or finishers. TATTOO SPRAY® replaces them entirely.
Yes. Suitable for all skin types and every style, including colour, realism, linework and fine detail. For heavy saturation or large pieces, skin prep is critical. Allow the tattoo to settle and weep, then CLEAN thoroughly before first spray to avoid trapping excess plasma or ink.
Ensure any numbing products are fully washed off before spraying.
Source — In the UK, only use pharmacy-supplied medicines authorised by the MHRA.
Legal and insurance — Using unlicensed products or applying medicines without proper authority or SOPs may invalidate an artist's insurance.
Patch approach — If concerned, treat a small corner first, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then complete coverage.
No. It is a medical prep soap for intact skin, often fragranced and not pH balanced for healing tissue. Use a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial or antimicrobial soap.
Yes. Once dry, the flexible barrier does not stick to fabric.

Alternatives Compared
Yes. Clingfilm is non-breathable and traps heat, sweat and bacteria. TATTOO SPRAY® creates a breathable barrier that protects without maceration.

Yes. Many gels and balms are occlusive, can mix with plasma and add fragrance. TATTOO SPRAY® is contact-free, fragrance-free and maintains moisture balance.
Yes. Bandages can stick, shed fibres and cause friction. TATTOO SPRAY® forms a smooth barrier with no fibres and no drag.
