ST. PAUL, Minn., May 5, 1998 -- Summertime and vacations are coming. Along with the swim suits, tee shirts and tennies, remember to pack a first aid kit. Don't forget to include tattoos. Tattoos? That's right -- if they're 3M Nexcare waterproof bandages with tattoo designs. These new waterproof bandages combine superior, waterproof wound protection with kid-appealing temporary tattoos. They're available in three design collections: Wildlife (animals), Sports (action scenes) and Cool (retro images like smiley faces and lava lamps). More than just another trendy look, however, the bandages are designed to seal around the pad to block out water, dirt and germs. They help prevent infection by forming a barrier to keep bacteria away from cuts, scrapes, burns and blisters. Their ultra-thin, breathable material conforms to bending and flexing and, once in place, the transparent bandage looks like a tattoo. So much so that -- though the bandages were created especially for kids -- you may find that grown-ups want to wear them, too.
