Just had some work done saturday and I’m hoping to get another session saturday. Off to France Sunday and it’s gonna be scorchio(I hope). My Question is this. Even if i don’t get saturdays work, will 100% sunblock be any good or am I gonna have to wear a t-shirt all week.
regards,
Jonny Rasclart.

A T-Shirt won’t do a damned thing to protect you from the sun, and I wouldn’t put sunblock on a still healing tattoo.

some lotions that are not perfumed are spf 30. protect your ink.

Hi

Sun lotion on a healing tattoo is not a good idea as it can irritate and damage the skin. Clothing does not block UV or UB rays which also damage ink.

Try and keep to the shade and do not leave the tattoo in exposed sunlight ( as you are actually better off avoiding using sun block on the area until it is fully healed).

If you cannot stay out of the sun avoid the hottest points roughly 12:00 – 15:00.

Take Care
Matthew

Thanks for the replys. Did another hour or so today but it looks like it won’t matter as the forecast doesn’t look like much sun anyways.
