Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bandage compatible with all types of grips and tattoo machines?
Yes. The Emalla self-adhesive bandage was designed for universal use in tattoo studios. It easily adapts to pen grips, traditional machines, tubes, and even cables, thanks to its elasticity and 5 cm width. It doesn't depend on specific fittings or brands, making it practical for both fixed setups and equipment that changes frequently.
Does the self-adhesive bandage slip with sweat during long sessions?
No. One of the great strengths of this bandage is its anti-slip effect, even during prolonged sessions or in hot environments. The non-woven material maintains grip without being too tight, helping to reduce hand fatigue and improve machine control. Even with sweat or occasional contact with water, the bandage remains stable.
Can I use this bandage directly on the skin, such as on my fingers or wrists?
Yes, it can be used on fingers, wrists, and weight-bearing areas, as long as it is not applied directly to open wounds. The non-woven medical material is breathable, comfortable, and flexible, making it suitable for both protection and light support during work. Many tattoo artists use it to stabilize the wrist or protect fingers during long sessions.
Does the tape leave glue residue on the grips or equipment?
No. This bandage is self-adhesive, not sticky. That is, it sticks to itself and not to the equipment. This means zero residue, zero extra cleaning at the end of the session, and greater care for your grips and machines. It's a more hygienic and professional solution than common adhesive tapes.
