Sun protection for tattoos: keep the colours vivid

The sun is the worst enemy of a good-looking tattoo over time. UVA rays break down the ink and blur the lines. Protecting it is what keeps your tattoo sharp for years.

While it heals

In the first weeks, no direct sun on a fresh tattoo: the skin is a wound and can burn, losing colour intensity. Cover it with clothing if you're going to be exposed.

Once it's healed

From then on, apply SPF 50 sunscreen every time the area sees sunlight, and reapply every two hours. It's the single habit that best preserves colour and contrast.

The result

A tattoo kept out of the sun looks like day one for far longer. At 357 Tattoo we walk you through every step of aftercare so your piece lasts a lifetime.
