I just got my 2nd tattoo yesterday, can i go swimmng?

Question

i got another tattoo yesterday but i really want to go to the beach with my family today and get in the water. is it anywhere possible?

Answer 1

uh no. if you already have one tattoo then you should already know that you cant be in the sun, or go in salt water or chlorine.  

Answer 2

Swimming is a big no-no! Pools have chlorine which can actually get into the skin and bleach out the ink. Also, both pools and open bodies of water (ocean, lakes, ponds...) are all FULL of bacteria. And while you are at the beach, keep it covered, not just with sun block, but actually covered with a shirt or whatever to keep it out of the sun. Be careful about the sun block you use (if you decide to). Many sunblocks have fragrances and perfumes that are not good for a fresh tat.

Answer 4

nooooooooo

Answer 5

You have to wait 5-6 weeks before you go swimming - pool and beach. Not just because it'll ruin the colours and fade the tattoo but because your tattoo is technically an open wound and there'll be a risk of infection in your tatt.

If you're really desperate a large, well-sealed waterproof bandage might help a bit but I highly recommend you not to for healths sake.

Answer 6

NO! the ink WILL fade. and stay out of the sun, don't let anything rub on it.

Answer 7

Definitely Not!!

When my mom got hers she couldn't go swimming for like 1-3 weeks depending on how big it was

Trust me my mom has 5 tattoos

HOPE I HELPED ^_^

Answer 8

if you go to the beach- keep it in the shade. no sunlight.

and nooooooooooooooooo swimming

no swimming for about a month till it's fully healed!!

don't ruin your tattoo!!

Answer 9

No. The ink will fade quickly. You have to wait for at least a couple of months.  

Answer 10

Stay out of the water until the scab has come all the way off on it's own. That doesn't mean you can't take a shower, or keep clean, just avoid soaking right now and don't let water from the shower head hit directly on your tattoo. Pat dry.  

Answer 11

No!!!!! not at all!!!

wait two weeks , i couldnt go to the beach either when i got myne

Answer 12

i wouldnt risk it, after all is it worth it just to go swimming when youve paid and gone through the pain of a tattoo?

Answer 13

No you will mess it up.

Answer 14

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 15

Absolutely not.

You have to avoid getting it wet until every single little scab falls off. That'll take 2-4 weeks depending on your skin. If the scabs fall off prematurely, your tattoo will lose ink, look patchy, and might even scar.

Don't **** up your lifelong tattoo for a day at the beach.
