Even if the tattoo is old, you have to be very careful.
If you have just gotten a tattoo, it is certain that the tattoo artist will tell you about all the mistakes and the right ones that you should avoid or do for a few weeks until the part of the skin where the design was “hit” is completely healed.
However, there is another wrong impression. And this concerns whether, after the healing of the tattoo, it is good to have a large exposure to the sun. Let’s start with the basic rule: never, never, with or without tattoos, it is not good to be exposed to the sun for hours because it is dangerous for our health and causes premature aging and skin cancer.
So let’s go below. Even if the tattoo is old, you have to be very careful. Aside from the health of the skin, it is certain that you do not want it to fade quickly (it will become perfectly) and to keep its vibrant colors for longer. How will you achieve this? Here is the list of easy tips.
1. Cover it.
The best way to reduce sun exposure is to wear clothes when you go out for chores. Obviously there is no talk of tattoos that are difficult to see in the sun anyway except on the beach because of the spot on the body that has been “hit”. The legs and arms as well as the neck need attention since in summer they are exposed to the sun every day. It is good to wear light and comfortable lines of clothes that allow the body to breathe (and do not … pop!) And at the same time limit the sunlight.
2. Moisturize constantly.
Regular hydration of the skin throughout the body is important in general. This is because it delays the signs of aging and the skin retains its elasticity and radiance. However, hydration is a real must when it comes to tattoos. Whether it is a new tattoo that heals or an older one, the spot needs proper and frequent hydration.
3. Drink water / liquids.
Consuming plenty of fluids and especially water is the best in general as it promotes good health and adequate hydration of the body. When we talk about summer and a body with tattoos then this need becomes greater. In addition to moisturizers, proper skin hydration starts from the inside. With a lot of water and proper hydration, the tattoos will look more vivid.
4. Did you put sunscreen with high SPF?
It is clear that sunscreen is a must for every person, every gender, every age and every season. It is not just something necessary for summer, as many mistakenly believe. It is super-necessary for 12 months of the year, even with light clouds. So you who have a tattoo have an even greater need for sunscreen with a high SPF protection index. It will not only add to the skin but also the vibrancy and colors of the tattoo that will not fade quickly and will look dull.
5. Eat foods with … sunscreen.
Are there any? Of course there are. Food is essential for our survival and our health, but it also helps with a number of other things. For example, there are foods that have the ability to make the skin more resistant to sunlight, they work like … sunscreen. What foods are these? Peppers, tomatoes and carrots that contain vitamins and compositions that favor the skin while maintaining it healthier and glowing and at the same time help it heal any wounds or injuries. Foods / fruits such as watermelon that have a high water content also have a positive effect on the skin.
6. Allow the tattoo to heal adequately and properly.
It makes sense, if you’ve just gotten a tattoo, to look forward to exposing it to public comment. However this is wrong and he will tell you directly when the tattoo artist finishes his work. There are specific instructions and mistakes and correctly that you can do immediately after you “hit” a tattoo.
Extra tip:
If the tattoo is fresh, in addition to the above very important things to do, it is important to avoid pool or sea water and of course any activity that makes you sweat, even worse if it is activities in the sun. This is because it is certain that it will cause infection and beyond the aesthetic part, how it will affect the tattoo, there will also be a health issue.
