Is this some special tape you don't need to cut with scissors? It looked like the ends were already rounded even though you just ripped them with your hands, lol. I know normally you want to ensure it's rounded to prevent skin irritation. Thanks.

@WingThaiJ Yes- KT Tape comes precut out of the box with rounded corners and a perforated edge in the middle for certain applications that need that pattern.
