Has anyone got any suggestions for my inks when I go on holiday product wise?
I mean I know you will say NEVER sunbathe but will be kind of hard not to when on holiday.
So I am wondering if the highest factor I can get will do or is there some awesome super dooper product that makes my tattoos totally immune to the sun even if I jumped in to it? 😀
What sort of holiday, are you swimming much?
I’ve read that anything over SPF30 is a waste of cash, as you can’t get anything higher than 30 in real terms but I’m sure Google will confirm or deny that.
The best stuff I ever used for fishing in Africa was the Decathlon stuff, it’s extremely waterproof and stopped me burning even under the harsh African sun after hours at sea.
Only snag is it’s very greasy, but that trade-off is the water resistance.
I think it’s daft that people are scared to go in the sun just because they have tattoo’s.. Just put some sun screen and get in the sun for christ sake i got really burn from a heat wave about 3weeks ago and it hasn’t effected my tattoo’s in the slightest. People say “oh it will make your tattoo look better in the long run”. Your tattoo is going to look shit when you reach 60 anyway. Life is to short you can’t not enjoy the weather just because you have some ink on your arm just buy some factor 30 and get out.
Yes I completly agree with Wardy, I always think its weird & strange when I read about people being so scared to go out in the sun. Hilarious!! Put some sunscreen on every few hrs
I’ve even read stories of people wearing long sleeves while driving& staying inside during sunny days hahahha! People r fucking weird &act like tattoos are made out of gold
Higher SPF sunscreen (100spf) is only marginally better than say spf 30. Since people usually dont use sunscreen as often as recommended the higher spf’s tend to be better.
Here’s a good article explaining the differences from WebMD.com

Thats because u dont have a lot of money invested in your ink like some of us serious collectors do. If i had a bunch of ink from street shops i wouldnt give a shit either. Good ink is an investment and it should be treated as such.
And like people have said spf30 is just fine. Spf50 provides just 1.3% more protection than spf30. So its more about applying liberally vs spf numbers. just apply sunscreen more often if youre in the water.

HAHA those r some strong words over the computer. Its easy to talk shit behind a screen huh.
Put up pics of ur “good ink” since ur a collector. PM them to me if u dont want to show them to every1.

It wasn’t an attack :confused: just a fair comment. A lot of people with average tattoos don’t protect them from the Sun, fair enough, each to their own. And, if you only paid a few quid for ’em, and they’re not jaw droppingly good, then it doesn’t really matter.
But, if you’ve invested thousands, or tens of thousands, it’s reasonable that you’re gonna look after them, surely?
this guy “yodaddynukka” whose name clearly shows his intelligence level has already attacked me in PMs :rolleyes: act like a man n grow up SON. knowing dam well u wouldnt try to act like some hard ass face 2 face.
Panter that was NOT a fair comment brother. all i said was to put sunscreen on them if u go in the sun and dont act like some sissy who thinks the sun will melt them off.
