You need plenty of Plenty!
It’s been a little while since I have added a ‘helpful’ blog post but that’s pretty much because I’m doing more of the hands on practical training now rather than the theoretical and it doesn’t matter what anyone says, there is only one way to actually learn to tattoo and that’s by doing it.
However, over the past few months I have been having a hell of a time trying to find a decent kitchen towel to use while I’m tattooing. At first I must have been lucky as whatever towel I happened to pick up from Tesco seemed to do the trick and then for some reason between when I first started out to recently I found myself being stocked up with a different towel. It was awful! Really dry and broke up during the tattoo process leaving little white bits all over the place and just generally not doing what was needed. So I was on a mission to find the best kitchen towel for the job!
Plenty was the answer!
Plenty used to be called Bounty and the adverts are hard to miss with the dreadful men dressed as women being very stereotypical and just plain annoying BUT I thought I would give it a go seeing as everything else I seem to find is horrid.
Well it works wonders and now I can see what they mean in their adverts. Plenty, when it starts to get wet, begins to act more like a baby wipe rather than a tissue paper so instead of getting filled with fluid and or breaking up it stays together and carries on working. This is great because it means you can wipe the skin over and over and it will still work, also as it doesn’t break apart once it’s full you just don’t end up going through so much of it.
I wouldn’t recommend wringing it out and re-using it like they say you can on the advert but this is really the best thing out there that I have been able to find so if you happen to be having the same trouble or you just need something a little more reliable in the kitchen – look no further you’re worries are over!
Plenty – I rest my case.
