Ok guys, I live in Florida, and I was told sun screen helps keep the color in? Anyways, my question is, what sun screen am I supposed to look for? I live in Florida, so it’s typically hotter here, humidity is higher, etc. Thanks for your advice guys.

I just use SPF 30 or better. I generally go for the generic Wal-Mart spray- on in SPF 50.

Thanks man. I wont be using anything from Wal-Mart though :p. Is there anything you need to watch for when looking into sun screen?

Just be aware of anything you may be allergic to. I have been using spray on sunscreen on all of my healed tattoos, and never had any problems! I am paranoid though, and am careful to keep them covered when I can.

All of mine are under my shirt, but I want to be sure that they continue looking good.

I usually use Coppertone Sport spray on, SPF 35. It works well and it since it’s water and sweatproof, I can go slightly longer without having to constantly re-apply.

Why not use sun protection on the rest of your arm rather than damaging the surrounding area. The rest of that arm is lobster looking.

I ride a motorcycle and my arms get a lot of sun in the summer. I’ve been using Neutrogena 70 and it works pretty well.

Thanks for all the advice guys. The next question being: When is it safe to start applying sun screen to a tattoo? My newest tattoo is three weeks old.
