Can You Tan With A Tattoo

Your skin needs time to heal and by time we dont mean a day or two.
Can you tan with a tattoo. Spray Tans can work quite well look great and wont harm tattoos. 12-05-2009 You could give your self an infection or damage your ink if you tan with a fresh tattoo. Leave your legs alone until after the tattoo.
Tattoo aftercare routines will vary from artist to artist but the need for minimizing the risk of infection will stay the same. If you really want to get a tan Id suggest covering up your tattoo with a paper towel or something so that it remains unaffected. Also make sure that you arent burnt when you go in.
Tanning after a tattoo could lead to infections or increase the risk of a bad healing process. If by new tattoo you mean it is still in the healing process then you should avoid tanning till it is completely healed. By then your skin has recovered its no longer flaky or itchy and it conceals moisture.
Also remember that UV rays easily penetrate cloud so even if the sun isnt beaming directly onto your tattoo you could still be at risk of harm being done. Lighter tattoo colors may get a bit darker from spray tanning but its only temporary and if you dont like it you can wipe it off the tattoo immediately after the session. So if you tan in that period you may end up having infection or your tattoo may fade quickly.
This usually takes from six weeks to a couple of months. Of course you can get a tan colored tattoo all over your body. Because tattoo is a kind of open wound and it takes time to heal.
Cosmetic tattoo application is a thing these days. If you still want to get a fake tan after getting a tattoo make sure to wait until your tattoo is fully healed. 04-02-2010 Yeah definitely dont get a fake tan over your tattoo.
