Why winter is the best season to get tattooed

If you're waiting for "the right moment" to get tattooed, here's a professional tip: that moment is winter.

The sun is ink's greatest enemy

A fresh tattoo can't be exposed to the sun — and in summer that means giving up the pool, the beach and terrace afternoons with the area uncovered. In winter, clothing protects the tattoo naturally and the sun barely reaches it.

Less sweat, better healing

Sweat and heat irritate skin in full regeneration and increase the risk of infection. In cooler weather, the skin stays clean and stable — the scab evolves better and the colour settles more evenly.

Time for the big pieces

A sleeve, a full back, a multi-session project? Starting in autumn-winter means reaching summer with the piece finished, healed and ready to show off.

And in Andorra…

Snow season: you get tattooed, you cover up, you ski (carefully the first few days) and your tattoo heals peacefully under layers of technical clothing. When the good weather arrives, it will be perfect.

One single warning

Moisturise more: heating and cold dry out the skin. A specific cream and plenty of water — your tattoo will thank you.
