^ a month??? it will be healed in like 10 days. And the ocean will be worse because it has salt and shrinks your skin which could fuck up a new tattoo more than a pool
We do it all the time... 10 days is best but if you take care of the tattoo it'll never scab and surfing and swimming is fine after 5-6 days. Have several hours of ink and my ten plus year old tattoos look better then most people two year old tattoos.SharpTattoos wrote:WTF are you TALKING about????????????????????
Five days??? Are you kidding?
NO ill damage towards the tattoos at all.
You have to use common since, if your sh-t is scabbed up, then don't go in the water. If it's just peeling or flaking like normal then no worries.

even if its scabbed i wouldnt go in, i did the same thing with an outline on my arm and alot of the lines got F'd up and needed touching up by my mentor. i was about a week and a half into healing too... so it was almost fully healed... i wouldnt go swiiming untill the scab has all come off.... just to be careful
You're NOT supposed to scab up...that's the whole point.

just wait like 8-10 days ull be fine
You still need to wait a little while, you can't go swimming two days after getting work done.chocodog wrote:So, it seems like there are a lot of conflicting pieces of advice here. Basically, scab=no swimming, no scab=ok to swim?Tattude wrote:You're NOT supposed to scab up...that's the whole point.
Thanks.
You're SURE of that?addicted wrote:thinking of going swimming after a tattoo makes my eyes water please do not do it

ot the "sure you can not go swimming for 7-10 days" it was like saying sure they can put off swimming for that long:)
You don't have to wait for 10 days to go swimming unless your scabbing up...
After 5 days of NORMAL healing the skin/tattoo is fine for a little swim.

I respect your reluctance to give up, even for a little while, your one form of comfort. You say you are in pain when you go without swimming. But tattooing itself is painful. It is pain that we endure because it is something that we really want. It may not seem fair that your pain should last longer than most of ours, but if you really want this tattoo, really really want it, then taking a few weeks off from swimming will be worth it for you. It's better than denying yourself your dreams and forever regretting the road not travelled.
