Fresh Tattoo? Skip Sunscreen!
New tattoos = open wounds. Cover with loose clothing and avoid sun until fully healed (about 4 weeks).
Use SPF 50+ Daily
Once healed, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every time you're outside even on cloudy days. Reapply every 2 hours.
Wear UV-Protective Clothing
UPF-rated shirts, long sleeves, hats, and shades = your tattoo’s armor.
Hydrate & Moisturize
Healthy skin = vibrant ink. Drink water and use fragrance-free lotion daily.
No Tanning Beds, No Smoking
They fade ink fast and age your skin. Stay clean to keep your art crisp.
