InkiWrap Instructions

INKI WRAP® by ZOOTATTOO is a next-generation tattoo healing wrap engineered for real-world healing conditions. Unlike traditional rigid PU films, our advanced self-adhesive fabric is lightweight, more breathable, and designed to move with your body while helping protect fresh tattoos during the critical healing stage. It is ideal for elbows, knees, shoulders, ribs, and other hard-to-wrap areas where traditional films struggle.

1. Let the Tattoo Settle: Allow the tattoo to bleed and settle for approximately 10 minutes or longer. Do not rush this step; letting the skin calm down prevents premature pooling under the wrap.
2. Clean the Area: Clean thoroughly using a mild soap or tattoo wash. Pat dry completely with a clean paper towel.
3. Cut to Size: Cut INKIWRAP slightly larger than the tattoo .
4. Allow Extra Coverage: Leave approximately 3–5 cm of coverage beyond the tattoo edge for the best possible adhesion to dry skin.
5. Apply the Wrap: Remove the backing paper and apply directly to the skin.
6. Smooth Gently: Avoid wrinkles and air pockets during application). Press from the center outward.

• First Application (6–12 Hours): If practical, remove the first application after 6–12 hours depending on fluid build-up.
• The "Plasma" Reality Check: The premium non-woven fabric backing features a tiny bit of built-in moisture absorption capability, but it is not a thick gauze pad. It will not absorb deep pooling.
• Changing Applications: If excessive plasma or fluid build-up leaks, seeps through, or affects the edge adhesion, do not panic. Simply remove the film early, re-clean the tattoo thoroughly, let it settle, and replace it with a fresh application.
• Second Application & Extended Wear: Re-clean the tattoo and apply a fresh second piece. This second application may be worn for approximately 5–7 days if adhesion remains secure and the skin is healing normally.

• Peel Slowly: Peel the wrap back slowly over itself. Do
• Not Rip: Do not rip away aggressively from the skin to avoid irritation or skin damage
• Removal Assist: Warm water in the shower or a skin-safe oil may assist with smoothing the removal process if required.

• Keep the wrap as dry as practical and avoid prolonged water exposure (we don't recommend swimming or soaking while healing). 
• Avoid unnecessary friction from tight clothing
• Avoid contact with pets during early healing stages
• Discontinue use immediately if localized skin irritation occurs from the adhesive layer. Do not apply over infected skin. If symptoms persist, consult a health professional.
