Unfortunately, no! It is best not to swim with a new tattoo as contaminants from the body of water can affect your healing process. Showers are fine, but you do not want to submerge your new tattoo until it is fully healed. You can ask your artist about the recommended times to avoid swimming as different tattoos will have different healing times. If you’re here on vacation or just for a visit, try to book your appointment for after your water/sun based activities!
