just use regular sunscreen. no need for the "tattoo specific" crap. they just call it that so they can put a higher price tag on it. just use regular old sunscreen, of the highest spf you can get. i think the ish i have right now is no-ad spf 45. or something. works fine.

Right.
Anything that blocks UV is fine. Ignore the hype. Tanning causes the formation of melanin in the skin. This breaks down fine particle dissemination in most tattoo pigments. This will spread, soften, and fade fineline tattoo work. Whites and light colors suffer the worst. High quality inks (Fusion, Eternal, Intenz) which feature both large and small micro-pigment particles in suspension should resist fading better. I wouldnt want to test that theory though. Too much money invested to let my ink bake in the sun! Block the UV, no sweat.
