WILL SWIMMING IN THE SEA/SALT WATER AFFECT MY TAT?

I went to the beach when i put a tat five days ago.How will it affect my tat?

I guess you will find out. You want to keep healing tattoos away from the sun (the sunlight will help your tattoo fade) and avoid soaking it in water (the ink will come out if it soaks in any water). Check out Darkside Tattoo.com for proper healing instructions.

The ocean is full of microbes,bacteria.chemical residue, nematodes etc... (not a place I would want to put an open wound) which technically is what you have.

hey yo, Don't go in the water! i learned the hard way. Any water on the tattoo will slow the scabbing process... and thats not good. plus the fact that it will fade faster. Ya paid money for it so why not keep it looking good!

someone answer pls im desperate - what about if i get a tattoo done, and then wait about 3 weeks and then go on holiday where its gonna be sunny. Will my tattoo be okay? What if i walk around in t-shirts? will that cover it? and can i go into the sea/pool after 3 weeks of healing?????
