No. Hydrogel packets are single-use only. There is enough hydrogel in each packet to cover a single tattoo area of approximately 10" x 24", so it is normal to have excess hydrogel left over for smaller tattoos. Once a packet is opened and used once, it should be immediately discarded along with the excess hydrogel remaining inside. Do not store open packets for future use.

Yes. A mild stinging sensation is normal (and temporary). That’s the antiseptic alcohol working which helps to establish a clean, antimicrobial environment for proper healing. If the client is experiencing a "strong" stinging sensation, it usually means that either too much spray was applied or the spray bottle was held too close to the area. Hold the sprayer further back and reduce the amount of spray used. It typically requires only a couple of MISTING sprays to do the job. Direct, excessive spraying is not necessary and will contribute to increased stinging. Clients should be aware of the possibility of stinging, especially on sensitive areas, prior to application.
