After some information on the healing of tattoos. I have full day of needlin comin up and 1 week an 4 days after which will involve alot of swimming and sun.
Ive read alot saying its bad but is it as important as they say, has anyone been threw this?
I normally heal pretty quick, because tattoing doesnt go deep i would think a week and a half is plenty of time for my new healed skin to protect the ink.
Thank you in advance

you do need to be careful with the sun generally with tattoos. sun damage causes fading in tattoos. you also want to keep it dry for a few days at least in the sense of swimming.
keep it covered in sunscreen and as dry as possible. If you do go swimming be aware of water borne infections that might affect it. you basically ahve a partly healed wound on you. dont do anything you wouldnt do if it were a bit cut instead.
