so its been 3 weeks and 3 days since i got tattooed, it scabbed and peeled good and i was wondering if im able to go swimming yet without damaging the ink?
Three weeks is the minimum suggested healing time before swimming. Just don’t overdo it , use sunscreen, wash off as soon as possible after swimming.
I suggest avoiding a pool if you think it may be over chlorinated.
Good luck, keep us posted if you think you have a problem.
ok good to know thanks, think ill just wait another week
3 weeks is fine but if possible try to avoid too much sun exposure to the piece – where on your body is it?
got work on my full sleeve, stomach, chest and ribs
I would still avoid a public pool due to the high volume of chlorine used.

Oh! My goodness!
Water is safe. But sunlight isn’t.
Sun is the ink killer, we should wear high SPF everyday
I saw an older shop manager who showed me some 16 year old color work that I thought looked great, he keeps that shit out of the sun or well covered in SPF 50 or more, I want mine to look just as good when its 16!

I got my first tattoo at 56 years of age. I’ll probably fade before they do.
I bought a carton of SPF 50 sunscreen.
