Tattoo Aftercare Swimming. Pat your tattoo dry after cleaning it. Chlorine can enter your body.
Its best to wait until the tattoo is fully healed before swimming or else the tattoo is prone to. Whether your tattoo is colored or not the sun can damage a new tattoo if its exposed for too long. After your tattoo is clean and dry moisturize it with regenerative balm.
Avoid touching the new tattoo and cover only with clean loose fitting clothes.
Wearing Saniderm While Showering Swimming and Exercising. Expect to stay dry for a month give or take. An open wound in the water is not a good idea. Swimming hot tubs exposing to excessive steam or submerging under water baths Showers are fine in fact encouraged Do not shave the area until completely healed.
