Is it okay to swim in sea or pool after getting a tattoo?

You can go into the sea or a pool after getting a tattoo, but you should take some precautions to ensure that the tattoo heals properly.

Immediately after getting a tattoo, keep in mind that your skin is newly wounded and more sensitive. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the tattoo area clean and avoid exposing the tattoo area to the sun before going into the sea or pool. It is also advisable to avoid exposing the tattoo area to hot water.

In general, there will be scab formation and shedding of skin in the tattoo area for a few days after getting a tattoo. So, it is recommended to wait until the tattoo area is fully healed before going into the sea or pool.

Lastly, it is recommended to consult a specialist before going into the sea or pool after getting a tattoo.
