Hyrdocolloid (or HC) patches are similar to pimple patches — they help seal your Ephemeral tattoo from bacteria and other foreign materials but also help to speed up healing by as much as 40% compared to traditional wound coverings. ❤️‍🩹 HC patches work to absorb excess moisture from your tattoo (blood, plasma, excess ink) which interacts with the patch itself - causing the patch to get gross and puffy.
