Protect your tattoo from the sun!


Your tattoo is as vulnerable to the sun's powerful ultraviolet rays as your skin. The ray can break down the pigments used to colour your tattoo. Never let it happen to you. Always get into the habit of putting sunscreen on your tattoo every time you go outside, even on cloudy days. You're supposed to do this to help protect your skin against premature aging.

Invest in sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and apply a liberal amount to completely cover your tattoo. Remember also to reapply sunscreen after swimming or sweating. If you're always outside and applying sunscreen takes too much effort, you can instead cover your tattoo with clothing or a bandage. No matter what method you choose, always protect your tattoo from the sun's damaging rays.
