Product Information

During the wound healing process, it’s highly recommended to stay away from swimming in tubs, pools, lakes, seawater, and any body of water actually. This is because the tiny puncture wounds brought about by your tattooist’s needles are still very much open. And until these wounds are all closed up, it’s best to avoid soaking in water. There are many opinions about this, but the American Dermatologists Association recommends waiting 4-6 weeks before swimming in chlorinated water, saltwater, and hot tubs. During this period of time, the tattoo heals and swimming becomes safe. Healing and Care: Healing times can vary depending on the location of the tattoo. Tattoos in areas that are often rubbed by clothing or are exposed to more friction might take longer to heal.

Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals until it has fully healed. If you have any concerns, consult with your tattoo artist or dermatologist. Can You Go In A Hot Tub If You Have A New Tattoo? Many artists use distilled water to thin out tattoo inks, as it is sterile and does not contain any impurities that could potentially affect the ink. Some inks also come with a thinner or reducer that can be added to the ink to help achieve the desired consistency. Make sure the area is completely dry before applying aftercare moisturizer, as trapping excess moisture under the skin can lead to irritation and heat rash.
