Tattoo and pool!! help!?

Question

I got a tattoo friday and i got into a pool Saturday afternoon. I had it relatively covered for a little while, than completely open. I am about 5'11 and the pool was 5 foot so my shoulder was out but some water got on and what not. It is fine now, I washed it and everything and it isn't faded at all. So should i still be concerned or no?

Answer 1

if it's not messed up or anything, then no.

Answer 2

hmm it should be fine since it wasn't under water..but if it starts healing strange I'd call the tattoo parlor.

Answer 3

My husband just recently got a sleeve on his leg. he went swimming like 3 weeks after having his tattoo done and some of the black outline faded really bad. I would just plan on staying out of the pool. plus most tattoo shops will allow you to go back once your tat is healed for touch ups. Hope that helps
