Tatt's the Way to Do it: Summer Tattoo Tips
Hey, Tattoo Squad!
Summer is here and were ready to slay the sun-kissed game! But, let's not forget about our precious tattoos! To keep them looking vibrant and brand new, follow these summer tattoo care tips and tricks:
1. Sunscreen, DUH!
Protect your ink from those harsh UV rays with a broad- spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30). Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
2. Cover up
When spending extended periods outdoors, cover your tattoos with clothing or a tattoo sleeve to prevent direct sun exposure.
3. Avoid direct sunlight
Try to limit your tattoo's exposure to direct sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm). Use a towel or clothing to cover it up when you're outside.
4. Hydrate, Baby!
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump. This will help your tattoo stay vibrant and healthy-looking.
5. Avoid chlorine and saltwater
Chlorine and saltwater can cause irritation and fading, so try to limit your time in pools and oceans. If you can't resist, make sure to rinse your tattoos thoroughly afterward and apply a moisturizer.
6. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
Keep your tattoos well-moisturized to prevent dryness and irritation. Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic lotion or cream that's specifically designed for tattoos.
By following these simple tips, you'll be able to enjoy the summer sun while keeping your tattoos safe, healthy, and living their best!
Remember, your tattoos are a part of you, so take care of them!
