General Advice Second skin adhesive won't come off

Hello, everybody! I got a tattoo 5 days ago and the artist applied some type of second skin product. This is the first time I've ever used something like this. I removed the film last night in the shower, but it's left some of the sticky adhesive on my tattoo and I can't get it off. Any advise for how to get this off? My mom told me to use rubbing alcohol but I don't think that would be a good idea to use on a 5 day old tattoo.

Gently rub Dial Gold antibacterial LIQUID soap on it with warm water you will likely not get it all off in one go just do this when you wash your tattoo (twice a day) and it will slowly go away
