I don't know what Tatuderm tape is, and 3 days? Holy crap. My artist would put some plastic wrap on it that I would take off an hour later. Then wash it with soap and water and apply Aquaphor three times a day. That works really well. My tattoos have healed very nicely with that method.
Where did you end up getting it?
