Winter VS Summer Tattoo Healing
Although it may seem like getting a tattoo in the summer is the best time to show off your new ink, it's actually not the ideal time for the healing process. Fresh tattoos are susceptible to infection and damage from exposure to sunlight, bacteria in the water, and chemicals like chlorine in pools. Sweating during hot weather can also slow down the healing process and expose the tattoo to dust and dirt, which can irritate it. Instead, consider getting a tattoo during the winter when there is less sun exposure to worry about and you can keep it covered up while it's peeling and scabbing over. This will ensure that your tattoo heals properly and is less prone to infection. Remember that a new tattoo is essentially a wound, so follow your tattoo artist's aftercare instructions to prevent any complications. By taking these precautions, you'll be able to show off your healed and beautiful tattoo all year round without any worries.
