When it comes to your tattoos, the sun is your biggest enemy

When it comes to your tattoos, the sun is your biggest enemy.
If you love your ink, you need to treat it like a precious piece of art-because it is.
The UV rays that give you that summer tan are the exact same ones that break down tattoo pigment and damage skin. Over time, that crisp, vibrant work you spent money and time on starts to fade, blur, and lose its edge. It happens slowly, so you might not notice until it’s too late.
Don’t wait for them to look tired. If you’re going to be outside, keep them covered or lather on a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunblock. It’s the easiest way to keep your tattoos looking fresh and vibrant.
Take care of your skin, and your tattoos will keep looking fresh for a lot longer. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.
