Can you go swimming 4 days after you got your tattoo?

Answer 1

I would wait about 10 days. If you rub off some of the scab the tattoo comes off. I had that happen on one of mine. You want to make sure it is healed enough so that it is set and the scab is just about gone.

Answer 2

I would suggest at least a week. Remember your new tattoo is an open wound and crap will get into it possibly leading to infection. Plus if you're going in a swimming pool with chlorine you will probably ruin your new ink job. Talk to any reputable tattoo shop near you and you can probably get a more detailed answer. I know with mine I had to keep them clean and washed with an antibacterial soap for a week.

Answer 3

You can shower approximately 4-6 hours after, right after taking the bandage off. However, do not submerge the tattoo. Wash it gently with warm water and apply a thin layer of A&D ointment and you're good to go!

Answer 4

depends... when you first get it done yes after it scabs a little yes after the 3 day no cause you wash a tattoo daily for the first 2 or 3 days with soap and water and keep it moist so i don't see why not but after that not until it's done peeling and make sure it's fresh water not salt water and moisture afterwards but it's all up to you personally i wouldn't cause u never know what your swimming in with an open wound (tattoo) so your choice bud

Answer 5

You can exercise immediately after you get a tattoo - just make sure to clean it afterwards (to make sure you dont get an infection or something as a result of sweat, etc) and make sure you arent wearing any clothing or doing anything that will rub against your tattoo! Otherwise, go exercise!

Answer 6

I recommend waiting at least one month (preferably three) if you must tan. This gives time for the ink to "settle" into your skin, and your skin to heal.

However, exposure to sunlight and UV rays damages your skin- and therefore, your tattoo, so it's advisable to quit the habit of tanning, for the health of your tattoo (not to mention your skin in general)

Answer 7

1 hour after getting your tattoo you clean it. After that you can shower but don't let the water pressure hit your tattoo. Also try not to get sunlight on it a.k.a no tanning and let the tattoo peal on it's own cuz if you peal you might take the ink out and you don't want that

Answer 8

NO WAY it definatly is not for at least 2 weeks

Answer 9

your tattoo artist will let you know.

Answer 10

The sun hurts a brands new tattoo like A mother, so think about that. The sun also fades inks, so you should wait until it’s healed. At least wait around 5 days until the scabs are gone.
