    hi guys 2 months ago got a tat on the inside of my forarm. there is a bit of hair over some of it its only light it still looks ok but i was wonering if it was ok to shave over it? its completely healed up and i put vasaline intensive care on it mornig and night to keep it looking new but i just think without the hair it would really show it up alot more. does anyone else do this.
    i also live in australia. how many of u plaster yr tattoos with suncream? and is there any sort that i should should or shouldnt use. i dont wanna mess my tat up thats all.
    any advice would be great thanks

    Giday bud. Protat aftercare products are sold in alot of studios in Oz. They do a sunscreen cream Which is a SPF30+ rating. If the tattoo is mostly on the inside of your arm, most of it probably wont be exposed directly in the sunlight? Try the protat mate. Will sort you out. 🙂

    Im in New Zealand bud. If your tatt is fully healed its totally kool to start shaving it. Protat has been designed for people with fresh tattoos etc. Its good stuff. Im not a sun screen expert LOL but any good reputable suncream will do the job.;)

    hi xpressive,
    thanks so much for yr advice on protat. i looked em up and ordered some moisteriser and suncream from them. it came today and its great stuff feels so fresh and makes the tat really bright. and suncream doesnt leave a white residue. reasonable price and NO POSTAGE bargain!! 😀 thanks for the info on it.
    cheers

    about the sunscreens, I posted a list of chemicals in a thread above this one, but many sunscreens have many harmfull chemicals that will goad the immune system into acting (even upon itself) if they get past the skin. It is important to read the labels and the chemicals, just cause they sell it in the stores doesnt mean the chemicals in it are harmless.

    90% of all products that pass animal testing fail when they are human tested, of that 10% that pass the human trials stage, 73% of those products are recalled, and another 16% are recalled within 5 years of their release.
