Don't Get Tattoos In the Summer

[@EvolveINK]

Will you be getting tattooed this summer? Leave a comment below!

[@Lowtan]

Is August still summer? Have appointments in August and September

[@HomelessPimp17]

i got my first tattoo in this summer lol. Having to wear long sleeves is so brutal but im on week 4 so im going to put sunscreen on so now im happy

[@topthrilldragster20]

getting an add on July 28th

[@SupremeNamelessOne]

i just got 2 big tattoos within one month (lower leg and upper arm, entire sides) just now and i made a commitment because of the scheduling + money at the time so i decided just to simply avoid the sun for most of this summer. I will put on 50+fp sunscreen after 6 weeks at least preferably before hitting the sun again. which is far late into august, im fine with that personally but only just this once. however next time i will do my best to avoid summer scheduling. tattoos are sooo expensive!

Thing is, I am in Bogotá, here we don't have summers. Just eternal autumn. Great video.

I live in the UK, can't relate, we just get rain... :D

[@chriswood5365]

Tell me about it , haha I live in Shetland and we get even less sun than mainland uk

[@josephmanktelow3560]

My thoughts too got my first tattoo yesterday sun was definitely not a issue lol

[@damon-burton]

That's a great reminder about the challenges of getting a tattoo in the summer. I guess it's best to wait until the cooler months to avoid complications.

[@Guitarmachine115]

Getting one on my upper arm as a birthday present to myself next week lmao

[@BleachExpansion]

Literally got one on Canada Day for my birthday bro but I work construction and I fucked it up already from being in the sun better off waiting for the winter

[@Guitarmachine115]

@@BleachExpansion damn bro sorry to hear that what’d you get and any plans to get it touched up later on

[@Gofast8954]

⁠@@BleachExpansionI work construction to bro you need to get a loose Breathable cooling Arm sleeve , pack up some dove soap (unscented bar) And some water bottles that way on your free time you can wash it off and put the sleeve back up and it’ll keep it cool and protected from the sun and it’s breathable so it’s getting plenty of ventilation

[@MisterJoos]

I definitely agree with most of these points, aside from sweat being bad for a tattoo. I know everyone’s different but I’ve gotten all my tattoos in the summer (large pieces covering huge chunks of my body) and I work for fedex so I have to wear long sleeves to keep it covered for at least a month while it’s healing. I get SO sweaty in the long sleeves and it’s never affected the tattoo. It is uncomfortable and itchy when you sweat, so that’s something to consider, but as long as you just power through it without scratching and wash it when you’re not gonna be sweating anymore it’ll still heal perfectly fine 👌

[@Fighttilltheend0136]

Yup

[@nicolauren]

I got upper arm tattoo week ago, summer holiday is really only good time for me to get bigger tattoos, at work its really easy for me to expose skin to dirt and sweat. cant wait to get this thing colored at august when next 2 weeks of my summer holiday hits :)

[@ISaidWhatISaidBro]

Got my arm sleeves starting in may until now and had NO IDEA about any of this.. I’ve been sweating like a pig wearing long sleeves in Texas heat trying to protect them until they heal.. so far so good

[@Fighttilltheend0136]

Use light colors no dark it works for me

[@Elysia_Fields]

With that Clone Wars reference, I'm trying to decide if you're a fan or not. I❤SW!

[@ianabuan9898]

I’m adding to my leg piece next week… in Vegas… sucks I have to wear pants in the triple digit weather lol

[@Fighttilltheend0136]

That's good wym😂 I cover up in the summer just because one the sun humidity and dangerous UV rays and because I have a gland issue which causes more moisture than normal

[@MrInitialMan]

I love the reference on your T-Shirt: "Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing." Words to live by. 👍 Though someone calling Philippi "Philly" is a new one on me. 🙂

[@axelcordova8262]

Me who's planning on getting my first tattoo in October: I see this as an absolute win.

[@flamingodiego]

I've got a tattoo appointment next week and it's summer and hot here...oh well! I've got kids, I chase after them all day long and last time I got a tattoo we went swimming a couple days after I got my last one and it's totally fine. I wear tons of sunscreen and will wear spf shirt for awhile too. I agree sand would suck.

[@James_Wisniewski]

Dang. I already did. Good thing I live in Texas and can't go outside during the summer anyway. 😅

[@EpiiKxKiller]

I live in Australia and got my tattoo in December which is the first month of summer for us and it gets really hot here. my tattoo healed fine being exposed to the sun, I only covered it for the first few days it didn’t fade, I didn’t get an infection and it healed fine. The only thing I did notice is when the sun was exposed to it, it started to get a bit more itchy and felt like a sun burn on my arm when my tattoo is. It was black ink though not a colour tattoo

[@GooseFrischmann]

Watching this as I have my tattooed scheduled on July 24th 😂 but I don’t really go out in the sun and when I do I sunscreen and wear those spf sleeves to always be protected 🔥 also I live in Utah so there’s no humidity in a desert haha

[@zornj61]

Stuck in Texas. Inconsistency in weather is the only constant. Even in the winter it will freeze one day and sunny and 75 the next

[@CoreyMason-r8g]

Thanks ❗ for the warnings ⚠️💯👍

[@barrybondz4483]

Just got one over a week ago xD. Cant stop, wont stop.

[@justamom4902]

This is one of my rules, no tattoos or surgery, (if possible) in the summer.

[@jamesmowry8266]

Got another one yesterday. However, I’m not a summer person, so I generally hibernate in my AC house June thru August. Plus, saves my skin from aging and skin cancer.

[@Thishandleisavailabl.e]

Get tattoos whenever you want. Just remember the sun is bad to tattoos especially fresh tattoos so keep them covered for a few weeks/couple of months.

[@JoshuWannTattooSHORTS]

I Just gotta a tattoo in Naples Itatly. my tattoow as fine. i got a tattoo on my inner bicep. dont be dumb just cover the tattoo. my oversided tee covered the tattoo fine while i explored naples. tattoo is healing nice started peeling day 3. Also depends how healthy you are and diet. i eat a strict healthy diet hence the quick healing process. you are what you eat.

[@danderson6290]

I can't relate. I live in Phoenix Az. Its too hot to leave the house.

[@clivestorey7985]

Thanks for the advice....

[@QueenCityHistory]

I just had my feet done.. plan on getting 4 more this Saturday

[@daniellynch5881]

Got my third matching tattoo in my second time in tenerfie with my girlfriend to remember it because we both feel in love with tenerfie we both got a small plam tree on the back of our left leg it was hard to get it done with the heat but both our tattoo are just as good as when we got them last summer 😊

Some ive accepted their fade. I dig them. Either way. I got one exctly a yr ago its still a bold and black. I tan stupid easily.

[@jkh2180]

Question related to sun exposure. Time matters, correct? Having a tattoo out in the sun for a long period of time is going to be more detrimental than having a tattoo out for 5 minutes I would assume

[@R0LLiND33P]

i live in michigan and the weather is weird. I'm safe 😂

[@1deep803]

Edited: I’ve started this past 4/20 to get tattoos on my right forearm and just got 3 small tattoos on the bottom wrist towards the hand along with Vegeta meditating below Majin Vegeta on the inner forearm 3 weeks ago as of this Saturday. The Vegeta took 4 hours and took it like a champ(including the ditch, no lie).

[@EzRay11]

I recently found your video’s and really appreciate all the info. My second of two sessions for a half sleeve rework is on Aug 23rd. Heading to Cancun Sept 28th. Is that enough time to allow outdoor activities? Drinking, swimming, golf, drinking? And can I wear a second skin product to go in a pool or ocean after healing for 5 weeks? I always wear a spf 60 kids sunscreen. Cheers

[@officerrebar3839]

I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas… basically you’re saying it’s never a good idea for us here to get tattooed 😂 always hot, always humid, and we live near the beach. I just got the 2nd of 3 sessions on a big rib piece

[@courtney4923]

I live in florida where its always hot and humid we may get a couple of weeks out of the year where its cold if i waited i would never get any i think all of mine have been done between June and August i go when i have extra saved and the books are open from the artist i like and odds i would still have the money if i dont book aren't good ✍️🌞💸❤

At age 70, I'm getting my first tattoo next month, a small one on my hand. I don't expose myself to direct sun anymore so I'm not worried about sun exposure. I do however walk in a pool for exercise. Can I wear a nitrile glove on the affected hand when I'm in the pool while it is healing?
