After the two to four hours after your tattoo has been completed, it’s time to unwrap your new art. Tattoos covered in plastic wrap are the exception to the rule; plastic wrap should never be left on a new tattoo for longer than two hours.
Subsequently, why do tattooists use plastic wrap?
Saran wrap specifically is used because it allows you to see your tattoo and keep an eye on the healing process. When you are getting a tattoo, the artist uses needle or needles to push ink under the surface of your skin, into the dermis.
