If you do n’t want to wear thick clothes to protect the tattoos from ultraviolet rays in the hot summer, then you should take good sun protection.


There are already too many misleading messages about how to protect tattoo designs in the summer, so it is difficult to decide which one should be taken. In fact, the so-called protection of your tattoo designs is to protect the colors in your tattoo designs from fading. Once these tattoo colors are damaged, they cannot be restored again. To protect your tattoos well, first of all you need to understand how the sunlight in summer damages your tattoos. The strong sunlight will release a lot of energy, but the damage to the tattoos is some light that we ca n’t see. For example, UVA, UVB and UVC, although we can't see them, we can feel them through the temperature on the skin. The ozone layer will filter out the most harmful UVC of human skin, but UVA and UVB will irradiate our skin and damage Tattoo pattern.

 

And those so-called sunscreens will not absolutely protect from sun, they may protect you from ultraviolet rays, but this does not mean that your tattoo design will not fade, and the tattoo color is not non-fading, they It will also fade. Ultraviolet rays will change the basic structure of the tattoo color and eventually cause it to fade. I often advise my tattoo customers to "keep away from sunlight", and the sunscreen must be applied 30 minutes before going out to really work, and it needs to be applied again every 90 minutes to 120 minutes, and so frequently Times, not everyone can do it.


From a health point of view, the chemical components in some sunscreens may cause skin cancer. These chemical components enter the blood through the skin and damage the body's immune system. Artificial flavors may contain more than a dozen carcinogens, destroying the human liver. Therefore, you must be very careful when using sunscreen, choose a broader spectrum, use it according to the instructions, and test it on the tattooed skin before use to avoid skin allergies.
