Tattooing in Summer, how to do it with good results
Hey, the long-awaited summer is here and with it comes the search for the perfect tattoo to show off on the beach! But is it really a good idea to get a tattoo this season? To be honest, the honest answer is still "no". Although it's not the best time of year to get a tattoo, if you're determined and aware of the necessary care, go ahead, it can be done!
Tattooists often advise against tattooing in summer because of the sweat and sun exposure. In this article, I will share with you some tips based on our professional experience so that you can get tattooed in a controlled and hassle-free way.
It is essential to understand what happens to our skin during the summer and prolonged exposure to the sun. The skin uses sunlight to produce vitamin D, which is essential for normal bone formation. However, excessive sun exposure can affect the skin's elasticity and cause long-term problems.
So, can the sun damage your tattoos? Direct sunlight definitely accelerates skin ageing, and the same goes for tattoos. Like a t-shirt exposed to the sun, the colours of your tattoo will fade over time if not properly protected.
But how long does it take for a summer tattoo to heal? The healing period varies depending on the size and location on the body, but generally ranges from 10 to 20 days. During the summer, factors such as sweat and heat can significantly prolong this process, so keeping the tattoo clean and dry is key to avoiding complications.
If you already have an old tattoo, how can you protect it from the sun in summer? Actually, the care is simple: sunscreen and moisturiser, as you would any other part of your skin. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight without protection for more than 20 minutes to preserve the original colours.
Thinking of getting a tattoo in summer? We recommend you opt for something small or medium-sized so that healing is quicker, allowing you to fully enjoy your holiday. Remember that a tattoo is like a wound that takes 7 to 15 days to heal, so plan it before or after your holiday to avoid discomfort.
So what kind of tattoo should you choose in summer? During this time of year, we are often asked about tattoos, as it is the perfect time to get them. Over the years, we have always advised our clients to opt for something not too big, but that reminds them of that particular summer: friends, family, love, parties, places visited, even unforgettable meals or dances.

In short, enjoy the summer in style and with a conscience. While getting a tattoo this season can have its challenges, by taking the right care, you can show off your artwork with confidence and make unforgettable summer memories - consult us for more tips and plan your tattoo the smart way!
We all know that tattooing is often an impulse, we are like that and we can't help it, but in summer be more careful, if you burn your skin, as well as having a bad time you will ruin your tattoo, use your head.
