Hawaiian Tattoos

Think about your time in the water!  New tattoos need to be kept out of water.  You will need to avoid swimming in the ocean, and soaking in pools or hot tubs for one to two weeks, until the skin fully heals and all the scabbing is done.

Think about your time in the sun!  The number one enemy of tattoos new and old is the sun:  it makes them fade in color and will even make them blur softly over time.  And when the tattoo surface is still open, you won't want to put sunscreen on it as it can contain a lot of chemicals that will irritate the healing skin wound.  Most often the best thing you can do on a beach vacation is NOT get tattooed.

If a shop or artist will only do designs off their walls and not draw something up for you, go find a new tattoo studio!  If you truly want a piece of art that you can be happy with for a lifetime, get something original from an artist, not a scratcher who only knows how to copy what someone else drew.
