Tanning bed and tattoos
Did you just get a new tattoo? Then it is important that its quality remains good. This deserves special attention, especially before using the sunbed.
How long to wait after a tattoo?
A frequently asked question is: "How long should I wait before using a tanning bed again after getting a new tattoo?" It is essential to be patient. In general, it is recommended to wait at least 2 to 4 weeks before using the tanning bed again. This gives your skin enough time to heal and reduce any swelling or redness.
Protect your tattoo from the sun
When you decide to use the sunbed again, protection is very important. Consider covering your tattoo with a clean cloth or special protective film to avoid direct sunlight. Tanning bed lights can be intense and it is important to protect your tattoo from overexposure. We have various sunbed creams that have tattoo protection, which ensures that the color of your tattoo does not fade.
Covering a tattoo on a tanning bed: Care and hydration

Tattoo and tanning bed : When is it safe?
Safety comes first. When you can use the sunbed again depends on how quickly your tattoo heals and how well your skin responds. Consult your tattoo artist for personal advice based on the specific characteristics of your tattoo and skin type.
