Essential Tips & Tricks To use while enjoying your summer fun!

Sunscreen or Sunblock is key

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher over your tattoo before going outside. Look for sunscreens that offer UVA and UVB protection to shield the ink from all angles of sun damage.

Cover Up

Whenever possible, keep your tattoo covered with clothing or accessories when you’re out in the sun. Fabrics with a tight weave offer better protection.

Seek Shade

Limit your sun exposure, especially during peak hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when the UV rays are strongest.

Keep it Moisturized

Healthy, moisturized skin is better at protecting your tattoo. Use a hydrating lotion to keep the skin soft and supple.

Take Away Points

Remember, a tattoo is an investment, and taking care of it extends beyond the healing process; it’s about ensuring its vibrancy and integrity against the elements, especially the sun.
