How long should the first MX dressing stay on a new tattoo?

Follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare plan. Replace earlier if the seal fails, edges lift, the film wrinkles heavily, or the dressing becomes compromised.

How do I apply the dressing without bubbles?

Apply on fully dry skin. Smooth from the centre outward with firm, even pressure. Avoid stretching the film during placement.

When should I replace the dressing?

Replace if the edges lift, the seal breaks, fluid build-up becomes excessive, or the dressing gets contaminated. Use a fresh sterile dressing for each application.

What size and quantity come in the pack?

Each dressing measures 10cm x 12cm. The pack includes 40 individually packaged sterile dressings.

Reviews

Your Tattoo’s New Best Friend

MX™ Waterproof Wound Dressings (10cm x 12cm, 40 Pack) support clean, modern tattoo aftercare. The clear film forms a second-skin style barrier over fresh work and helps protect against water exposure, friction, and external contamination while the skin recovers.

Why MX™ dressings suit fresh tattoos

Waterproof hold: Helps keep the area protected during showers and daily activity.
Sterile and individually packed: Clean application with single-use packaging for each dressing.
Breathable film: Supports balanced moisture management during early healing.
Transparent design: Check the area without lifting the dressing.
Flexible comfort: Conforms to body movement, including curved areas.

How to use

Wash hands and prepare a clean surface.
Gently clean the tattooed area, then let the skin dry fully.
Apply the dressing without stretching the film. Smooth from the centre outward to reduce air bubbles.
Wear time: follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare plan. Replace sooner if edges lift, fluid collects excessively, or the dressing becomes compromised.
To remove, lift an edge and peel back slowly along the skin, not upward. Clean the area again before reapplying a fresh dressing if needed.

Visible Q&A

Q: How long do I leave the first dressing on?
Follow your artist’s instructions. Replace earlier if the seal fails, the dressing wrinkles heavily, or fluid build-up becomes excessive.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The dressings are hypoallergenic and sterile. Stop use if irritation occurs and follow your studio’s aftercare guidance.

Q: Is the dressing waterproof?
Yes. The film supports water exposure during normal hygiene while the adhesive remains sealed.

Q: Do I need to reapply after removal?
Reapply only if your artist’s plan requires continued coverage and the skin condition supports it.

Q: What areas work best with 10cm x 12cm?
Great for small to medium pieces and for patch coverage on larger work using multiple dressings with overlap as needed.
