Tattoos And Spray Tanning. Tattoos - Love em. Spray Tans - Need em
In the past, people with tattoos were advised not to go in the sun or use tanning beds. This was because the ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds could cause the tattoo pigment to fade.
Nowadays, people are more aware of the importance of protecting their skin from the sun. They are also more likely to use sunless tanning products, such as spray tans. So, the question is – can you get a spray tan if you have a tattoo?
The answer is yes! However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to make sure your tattoo doesn’t fade. In this article, I will give you all the tips and tricks you need to know about spray tanning and tattoos.
So, can the two exist together? Absolutely, just not on the same day. Like a spray tan, a Tattoo requires a clean canvas. Tattoos puncture the skin to place pigment and can go as deep as 2 millimeters, while Spray tans only dye the top skin called the epidermis. So with the two of those combined, it would be best to space your spray tans a week before your tattoo, and at LEAST two weeks after.
Keeping in mind the size and location of the tattoo, a spray tan can happen sooner if the area can be covered. Spray Tan barrier can be used on your first post-tan and as desired after.
