Yes. The main thing you want to do is keep the scab from accidentally getting picked off or drying out. A&D ointment or bacitracin work best.(keep it oiled) After a week of this switch to a no perfume lotion. If the scab comes off, your tattoo can lose color.

Will beach water effect a 1 week old tattoo?

Not if the tattoo is healing normally e.g. no pus, oozing, or broken skin. If your tattoo IS looking sore, don't risk it until it has completely healed.

Can you have a tattoo if you are slow healing?

It takes about 10 days for a tattoo to heal completely. In the healing process a scab forms over the tattoo and if any of the scab is rubbed or knocked off you loose part of the tattoo. If you a slow healing I would suggest not getting one. You may have a underlying condition that is causing this to happen. Talking to your doctor could give you more information.
