OK, so my artist told me not to swim with the fresh tat, but she didn't say how long for, it's about 10 days old now and healing well, is it ok to go swimming this evening?

If there's ANY scabbing,
Posted on September 10, 2008, 1:50 pmIf there's ANY scabbing, stay out of the water. "Wet Scabs" will pull out color.
Also, the sun KILLS tattoos in the first month or two.

Obviously I'm not a tattoo
Posted on September 10, 2008, 1:53 pmObviously I'm not a tattoo artist, nor an expert...
But I've always swam with fresh tattoos (even tho they tell you not too). And they all stayed just as bright as the one I got in winter (so I obviously wasn't swimming then).

Decided against it, tattoo
Posted on September 10, 2008, 5:14 pmDecided against it, tattoo is still peeling a teensy bit and it is a chlorinated pool.
Tattoo is thankfully not getting any sun

I agree with Jlo, I wont
Posted on September 12, 2008, 3:30 pmI agree with Jlo, I wont swim unless my tat looks and feels healed. Oh,a nd in the summer I pay more attention to drown them in sunblock than I do myself at times.
Never miss someone from your past - there is a reason they did not make it to your future.

usually tats take about
Posted on September 15, 2008, 4:41 amusually tats take about 16-20 days to heal fully with me, i tend not to do anything to piss it off in that time.

It's never worth the
Posted on October 11, 2008, 7:46 pmIt's never worth the risk--tattoos are there to stay. Always wait for them to heal thoroughly and always use yer sunblock. A few hours' fun isn't worth the risk of having to have a bit of your tattoo redone.
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
