3. You should NOT be going in pools/hot tubs/oceans/ponds/any form of water except the shower/beaches/dirty environments/ GYMS for the first 2 weeks after you get tattooed.
You are significantly more likely to get an infection when exposing your tattoo to these environments.
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. Tattoo infections can be very uncomfortable/painful, expensive with hospital bills and even life threatening. Please reach out with any questions before or after your appointment!
