Maintenance Tips

A common mistake about sun tattoos is that you can immediately wear them during the summer season. Nothing is more wrong. If you plan to exhibit your tattoo throughout the hot season, you should have done it in the fall, winter or spring. When the tattoo is still fresh, you can not expose it to the heat of the sun. This will peel your skin and will quickly discolor your tattoo.

Another thing you need to know about caring for your tattoo is that you have to moisturize it regularly. As the tattoos procedures leave wounds and scratches on the skin, the area around the tattoo will dry up naturally, because the skin will begin to peel. You should apply a little moisturizer so that the tattoo stays hydrated. This will help to fix its colors.
