Rep Power: 23 | the only reason to cover a tatoo is so that it doesn't lose its color. If you get a spf stick you could trace the tatoo and not have any tan lines. I know that I have seen them in one of my catalogs. If I come across it again I will let you know. |

Rep Power: 23 | Hey flashfire, don't worry about feeling like a dummy. We have all been there and I am sure I will do the same sometime. I only use the spf stick and it seems to work fine. Maybe someone else might have another suggestion. |

Rep Power: 0 | Yeah! A tattoo question!! I'm so excited!! If you have a fresh tattoo you need to completely cover it with a towel. A new tattoo will sunburn (whether you're tan or not) then it will flake and peel off. Not completely but it will GREATLY damage your tattoo. If a tattoo never saw light it would look like you just got it, forever. After it is healed use a sunblock, appling it with q-tips helps prevent "tan lines". Tanning will bleach a tattoo, especially if it's new. Many times I hear "I can just get it recolored if it fades, right?" Although true, it won't be the same as the first time around. |
