Can u go tanning after getting a tattoo??

I have to be in a bathing suit in a few weeks, so planned on tanning, but Im planning on getting a tattoo in about a week. Can I continue to tan after getting the tattoo?
Can u go tanning after getting a tattoo??
I would recommend against it, seriously. Minimally, wait at least a month before going out. The skin is healing and won't give the normal protection from UV. The upper, dead epidermis will still be getting replaced, and the non-shedding areas in the dermis %26amp; lower will have greater exposure.





This hardly means you'll get a melanoma from this specific action, but it's all additive and this will increase chances.





And yes, a little sun once won't kill a tattoo, but repeated tannings will. How do you think all those grizzled old sailors got their anchors blurred? If you want to have any ugly old blurry tattoo as quickly as possible, lots of tanning is definitely the way to go.





Addendum: To clarify, the layer of skin you normally shed over time is thinner while healing, meaning more carcinogenic UV B can penetrate to skin layers that do not shed and are, in fact, permanent. It's fine to trash the skin you'll shed - it's going away. Do not damage the skin below that. It's with you to stay.

tan now then get the tattoo so if you burn youll have time to heal because you dont want to burn with a new tattoo and your not suspored to be out in the sun or soak for a month after.
Reply:yep! it might fade a bit quicker than without tanning.. but its not going to ruin your tattoo, i tan super fast in the sun and sometimes go to tanning beds, but my tattoo is still there lol
Reply:youll want to wait about two weeks after getting the tattoo to start tanning again, its not the best idea, but as long as you put sun block on it the tattoo should be fine
Reply:tan and then get a tat, if you tan with it it will lighten it up, and look really cheap, if you want to you can just cover it up while you tan, just don't leave it exposed or it ill ruin it
Reply:no why pay the money to ruin it.
Reply:seriously, if you want to tan, why get a tattoo...


it helps fade the ink so much quicker.


also, even if the tatt looks great on your pale skin, it might not look so good on tan skin
Reply:No, but you can Mystic tan! The spray tanning is way better for your skin anyway. Tan before you get the tattoo.
