Thinking of getting a tattoo that will be on my wrist. My concern is that I'm out in the sun a lot and swimming as well. Some of this can't be avoided. Is there a length of time before I can do these things or are there preventative measures I can take to make sure the tat isn't harmed?

My daughter and I recently had a conversation concerning tattoos. I asked here if she thought she'd ever get one. Her reply," would ya put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?"

I love it.

Good for her. Nice quote too.

If I remember correctly when I got mine, it was recommend that you stay out of the water for like two weeks. I think the chlorine messes with it or something.

Well it will actually be a lake and/or a river so I wonder if that'll be ok?

 

And thanks for the actual advice as opposed to the rest of drivel so far. :thumb: :thumb:

I would imagine that it might be a little risky due to infection, but I am certainly no expert lol.

 

I think part of the worry for the tattoo is that it may change the color or shade of it. Best to just ask someone at the tattoo parlor, I would imagine.

I know I'm in the minority but I just don't get the fascination with ink on the body. I've never once said "wow that looks outstanding."

 

But , they, that's just me.

Count me as being in that minority

I'm thinking of getting one that says "I love drivel"

I agree.

Mom inside a heart? Oh, and make sure it is done in script. That is sooooo cool!!!

Couldn't agree more

I knew someone who got tattoo's many years ago and they regretted it very much after the fact. They fade and are not attractive.
