Hey

I got inked 2 weeks ago.
The guy said no sun until the tattoo is fully healed. Now I know it takes around 1-2 months for a tattoo to COMPLETELY heal.
I want to go back to the tanning bed though ;(
I might go next week, I don't know yet.
How do I protect my tattoo?
Can I put a SPF40 outdoor cream on it?

Thanks.

I think you should HURRY UP AND GET TAN cause we all know life is short. Why wait a month for a tattoo to heal, it's only gunna be there for the rest of your life.

Wait for it to heal then use a tattoo stick or lip balm or whatever SPF you like on it so it doesn't fade.

Stop talking stupid.

Somebodies cranky this morning..........

Well, IT IS healed.
But it's "supposed" to take UP TO 1-2 months to heal.

*sigh*

I mostly wanted to know WHAT to put on it.

Anything with sunblock that will not damage the acrylics if it will be in contact with them.

I was told not to tan for 2 months after getting mine so I didn't.I used the time to check out sunless booths & spray tans.UV is a tat's worst enemy.I'd listen to my tattoo artist.They should know.

I just make a paper cut-out of my tat and tape it over it every time I tan.

You are ambitious aren't you?
