SO WHAT IS ZOOTATTOO® WRAP AND HOW DOES THIS PROTECTIVE TATTOO FILM WORK?

A tattoo involves injecting pigment into the top layer of the skin using very sharp needles; this leads to abrasion (injured tissue) and in response the skin needs to heal. The body’s natural reaction to injured tissue is to bleed and form a scab, which is created by the body to keep germs and bacteria from invading the wound and leading to infection. The body naturally goes through a process of removing dead and dying tissue (autolytic debridement). As a result the body produces fluids and enzymes to break down this dead tissue, which then dries up and evaporates. When a new tattoo wound dries up this can lead to scabs forming and this increases the risk of scarring. Scabs on tattoos cause fading, uneven colours and can even lead to permanent scarring, which is not exactly the desired reward for hours of hard work.

ZOOTATTOO® WRAP is an aftercare solution for the initial healing stage of a tattoo. ZOOTATTOO® WRAP retains the body’s natural fluids and healing enzymes (autolysins) that help keep the healing tattoo moist and prevent scabbing. Because ZOOTATTOO® WRAP is breathable you can wear it for up to seven days with at least one changeover. The film allows oxygen to circulate and helps release excess moisture vapour from the wound, so the skin will continue to function normally and heal faster. The film creates an antibacterial barrier that keeps your fresh tattoo safe from infection. No more scabbing, no risk of infection, no rubbing clothes, bed sheets or other external factors that will damage the tattoo. Just beautifully healed tattoos like you intended!

WILL ZOOTATTOO® WRAP STICK TO THE TATTOO AND AFFECT THE QUALITY OF THE TATTOO?

No, the adhesive component of ZOOTATTOO® WRAP will only stick to the dry skin around the tattoo; it won’t adhere to the weeping area of the tattoo wound. If used as intended, on a tattoo that is moist, it is not possible for the film to stick to the tattoo and pull out ink.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU WEAR ZOOTATTOO® WRAP FOR?

The first piece of ZOOTATTOO® WRAP can be left on the skin for the first 12 to 24 hours, the exact time will depend on the amount of fluids the wound exudes, which will vary from person to person. In case of excessive bleeding or weeping the film can be replaced with another piece before. In most cases people choose to wear the first piece for 24 hours. When removing the film make sure to carefully wash the area with soap and water, and gently dry the tattoo. Once the skin is completely dry you can apply the second piece of ZOOTATTOO® WRAP. This second application can be kept on for another 48 hours to five days. The total use of ZOOTATTOO® WRAP, using both applications is between three and six days.

CAN I USE ZOOTATTOO® WRAP ON A LARGE SCALE TATTOO LIKE A BACK PIECE OR A FULL SLEEVE?

Certainly! Z Wrap is ideal for big tattoos As you can adapt it to any size by cutting various pieces of the roll to fit the tattoo. The film can be overlapped in areas that are not straight and will perfectly adhere to any part of the body.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO AFTER REMOVING THE SECOND APPLICATION OF ZOOTATTOO® WRAP?

Once you have removed the second application of ZOOTATTOO® WRAP it’s not necessary to apply any more film to the tattoo. By using Z Wrap you have created a ‘fake scab’ that has allowed the skin to heal from within the deeper layers. The top layer of the skin will start to dry, and in most cases this will look like the tattoo is covered with a whitish cracking thin layer of skin. This top layer of skin will start peeling and flaking. Don’t be alarmed if these flakes contain some ink, this is perfectly normal. It’s VERY IMPORTANT to not scratch, pick or peel the skin as this could cause new wounds and scarring. It will all be done in a few days and the color of your tattoo will start to look as bright as the day you got it.

HOW DO YOU REMOVE ZOOTATTOO® WRAP?

Follow these steps to remove ZOOTATTOO® WRAP protective tattoo film:

1. Lift a corner of the film and stretch horizontally along the skin surface to break the adhesive bond.
2. Continue stretching the edge of the film towards the center.
3. When both sides of the film are partially removed, grab both sides at the same time and stretch them horizontally and parallel to the skin until the entire film lifts.
In case the film is particularly resistant, you can use some water to aid breaking the adhesive bond from the skin
