Bandaging a tattoo is your artist’s discretion. Most tattoos are not bandaged. However, we often use something to wrap the tattoo the first couple days. Bandaging a tattoo that has already began to heal is not recommended. Your tattoo begins to form a light flaky scab and covering it will cause an issue with healing. Please discuss healing options with your artist. If you’re on vacation here in Florida, we recommend you wait until the last day or so to get your tattoo, so you can enjoy as many of those sunny days as possible and have fun in the water!
