I would say your partially right. No sunblock until its completely healed. Which isn’t always only a month. I compare keeping tattoos covered from the sunlight like keeping milk in the fridge. Its going bad either way. But it lasts a lot longer in the fridge. Different strokes for different folks. Some people are anal about they’re work (with good reason) some people with low caliber work really don’t care. But I guarantee anyone who spends four to seven grand on a sleeve from a top rated artist isn’t going to be walking around in a sleeveless shirt on the side of some mountain. And this isn’t even getting into the whole skin cancer thing.
Noone is trying to tell you what to do. Your mind is made up. But as a proven fact, the sun is harmful to skin, and what’s harmful to the skin is harmful to a tattoo.

As for the whole three day thing. You live you learn.

Yeah man, i totally agree.
And sure i understand that if you get like an whole sleeve or something, then i understand that you will be more carefull.
Some more then others, some less then others.

Here is a nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llhEHNe62UM

They even give away their skin when they pass on to the other side.

Yeah, i know that by now. I will not be more or less in the sun then others. I will keep it to a healty level.
Will not become a vampire, and i will not become a surfer….yet. 😉

Yeah, life is a big lesson. Take care. *gone*

if I loved the sun and was a fishing guide like I wanted to be I wouldnt get tattooed, I mean do you have to be tattooed? no, go with what you love, youlove the sun more than ink……………

a professional doctor or tattooist will tell you the damage is real

I love the sun like most people. Not less or more.
You dont even know me. I love the sun, AND i love tattoos. And i aint alone.

I know there is a risk for damage. But we will all die. Or grow old and die. Your tattoos will look wrinkled and badly when you are older too. So aging is a “threat” too.

The dude who gave me the tattoo is a real professional artist. And he said i could be in the sun after 1 month and use sunblock. Soo i dont really have too ask here.
But i will be indoors and outdoors. I got sunblock, thats a good thing. Would be worse if i was in the sun and choosed NOT to use sunblock.

kthnxbye

yeah, thats pretty rare.
If he did not have a monotonic job or the same side of the sun every day, people would not even notice his face.
But sure, there man did drive all day long for 28 years in the sun. Thats hot and a long time.

Heres some other examples.

But yeah, enough with this discussion. The sun is not good for a tattoo in the long run. But without the sun we would not be writing this neither of us.
But its a good thing we can protect the ink with sunblock. Thats good. Peace out

I can give photographic evidence of what happens when a new tattoo gets sun. I’ve seen it with my own eyes on my own body. I was on a boat for a few hours about three days after I got tattooed. Mild redness over the entire tattoo (which was under a white shirt) tattoo faded. Not incredibly, but enough for me to keep my newly tattooed a$$ out of the sun. I don’t worry about the sun that much if I’m all healed up. But then again I’m not an outdoors man. I’m an indoorsman. If i know I’m going to be outside I just sunblock up. At the end of the day sun exposure to a new tattoo is very bad. Sun exposure to tattoos in general is bad. Even black fades.

True. It is bad. But its an element which keeps the planet alive and all living things.
But i would never be in the sun 3 days after getting a tattoo. They fade easily when they are fresh. They need to heal atlest a month. Then its alright with sunblock, and “common sense”.

Well, i dont agree. Like people who are living on hawaii or something, and are older. They look beautiful.
And i have searched the internet for like before and after with pictures of a tattoo that has been faded. But i could not find much. Anyways. They will all fade in time anyways. Maybe exept pale vampires who stay out of the sun completely;)

But they will still grow older.

But sure, i will have the sun in consideration. (Wrong spelling. Cant think of the right word.)

And about the “fariest skin”. I dont know the word. But if you mean pale. Then i dont agree…
People are created to be out in the sun and nature. Working and stuff.

Cavemen are another thing, but thats way back. 😉

I like the sun too and as I said, I am outdoors all the time, but I’m wise enough not to go out baking in it except on rare occasions.

Well we can tell you’re young by your comments. We were all that stupid once. 🙂 And sure, everyone likes a nice tan, but if you do it too often you will pay the price by the time you hit your 40s because excess sun exposure most certainly does age your skin.

“Most premature aging is caused by sun exposure.” (Source)

“You may walk away from the beach with a suntan, but that’s not all you’re getting. Excessive sun exposure is responsible for most of the sun damage associated with aging skin. This sun damage accumulates slowly over time and starts at an early age. While some of the sun damage is merely cosmetic, other effects, such as skin cancer, are more serious.” (Source)

I get it though. You’re young and going to do what you’re going to do. We’re just trying to educate you.

/nods

Alright, thanks.
maybe i should lay on the beach less or just cover up my tattoo with a towel then…
I bought some stuff thats called INK ARMOR before, but i think its a bit silly if i should wear that on my arm.
Nah. I will expose it but use sun lotion.

I did not mean to be rude about my comment before. Its ofcourse horrible for people that GET skin cancer. I myself just dont worry about getting it. Its a small procent.
And maybe the sun will make me look more older, but thats fine. I dunno if i will even be 30 years old, soo…
Time will tell.

yeah man, i appreciate the education. Just didnt think sun was such a big deal when dealing with tattoos.
But i will ask on another forum too…
And i dont have a Horiyoshi III tattoo. Then i would be more carefull. Maybe. 😉
Peace

Nope it will never happen to you.
Every year, more than 500,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed, they account for one-third of all new cancers.

You sir are retarded

Ok. I might have had that information wrong then…
But if i should get skin cancer, which is a small % of all the human population on tellus, id have to deal with it then. Now i really dont care that it will happen to me.

And you dont need to call me a retard because i dont think about skin cancer all day long. Fucker! 😉

I try to get 20-30 mins of sun per day (except in winter). I just cover my tattoos with sunblock or a shirt. As long as you’re not out in the midday sun for hours on end its fine.

Alright. Thats good.
But the thing is i cant hide it with a t-shirt. I have too wear a sweatshirt or what you call it. Thick and long sleeve. Thats too hot when its summer…

But yeah, i could just be less in the sun. Thanks for the reply

Yeah I live 2.5 hours from the beach so I rarely get down there. Besides, too much tanning can add 10-20 years to your skin, not to mention skin cancer. I’d like to keep my youthful good looks into my later years. 😉

Alright;) Thats fine with me. I like the sun thou. And it gives you vitamin D. Soo ts not too bad.
And im “young”, soo i dont care about skin cancer. People rarely get it, and sun dont age your skin. You look more healty and soo on i think.
Well. I am going to be in the sun and nature anyways, and then the tattoo will adapt and i can refill later on if i wish.
Peace. Now sleep. *gone*

Sunblock won’t protect you 100%, but it most certainly helps. The bottom line is that if your ink is exposed to the sun often, it’s going to fade a lot faster than it would otherwise. It’s not just a matter of the ink fading though. Sun exposure also causes the ink to breakdown and get released into your body, the long-term effects of which no one is really certain yet. That said, some of us ink lovers are also outdoorsmen (like me). When I’m going to be out in the sun I use sunblock though (SPF 30+) and I don’t go tanning on the beach more than 2-3x a year (if at all).

Well. I did make my on my left underarm. Soo that area is often exposed to the sun. I just need to wear a tshirt and the sun shines on it. So i dunno…
Yeah, i also use 30+ sunblock now after 1,5 month. I took a swim and was in the sun today..
But i live in sweden, soo its not THAT much of a sun. But that doesnt matter i guess.

You only go to the beach to tan 2-3 times a year? Well, i had some years i did not tan at all, but now i live temporary by the “beach”, and i like the sun. But i also DONT want to ruin my tattoo which i did.

I did not think about this sun thing when i got a tattoo, but i will just put sunblock and see what happens with time.
When it looks bad, i can just go and fill in it again, right? Its a fairly simple tattoo…
Pic from the same day i did it: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/341/overviewe.jpg/

But when i just go around walking in the nature and the sun is “exposed”. Thats just an element you cant control. Soo if it gets faded, i will just get it filled again after some years. (?)

No, their tattoos look like “bullshit” or they will after a few years of sun exposure.

Example:

Well, maybe soo. I just got my first tattoo 1,5 month ago. I just dont want that too be true. I wanna be on the sun and i am going too…

If it will fade, thats fine. I can just get it done again after a couple of years…

But i hope it will not fade too fast. Its in black, and i did made a post about its healing.

But if you always use sunblock, that will prevent it from fading? People who gets tattoo:s dont become vampires….
Im sure there are allot of folks in the sun and their tattoo:s looks great anyway?

And your example was out of order. It wil not look like shit. It will just maybe fade and be a little bit grey, if it was first black. But it can still be pretty/cool/awesome or whatever. 😉

I’m going to have my tattoo washed in mineral water from the untouched north pole icebergs by 7 virgins!

I live there, so thats what im doin every day.

I dont need to wash it anymore. Just like now, i worked out, and took a shower. I could use some lotion now, but nah…
Think the skin need to breath too. The lotion i use is kinda fat and soo on.
