Sun Effects on Tattoos

1 message · last activity 7/4/2007

I'm thinking about getting some work done on my lower leg and during the summer obviously i wear shorts all the time and spend a decent amount of time outdoors. I would use spf50 sunblock always but my question is even with sunblock use is there any and if so how much fading of a tattoo exposed to regular amounts of sun? and is there anything besides wearing pants to do to protect it?
