NO you really should avoid hot tubs, they can be breading grounds for bacteria which could give you an infection if you accidentally decide to put your tattoo in the water. There wouldn't be any harm done if you just sat around the edge of it.

You're at the excellent line among k and now not k. Most persons are healed up in fourteen days. Wear sunblock like there is not any the next day. A dangerous sunburn might rather screw up your tattoo, no kidding. The water rather would not be well for it both, however it isn't as significant a risk because the solar. If it had been nonetheless scabbed up, I'd say do not move close it. I soaked a small tattoo within the water on the 5 day mark as soon as, simply to peer what it could do. The scab swelled up, and I had a blotchy watching tattoo after it healed. The colour was once midway there. I touched it up, and it is excellent now. We agenda sittings for 2 weeks aside, considering it is frequently floor healed in that period of time, on so much persons. The entire cure system, deep down, takes a pair extra weeks, repeatedly for much longer, if you are a diabetic.

KEEP IT DRY!! Don't wear it in the tub. If you insist on getting in the tub keep your wrist bandaged and maybe wear one of those "sweat bracelets" over it so the water has a harder time splashing on it, and keep your whole wrist/hand OUT OF THE WATER. If you're going to go submerge it you may as well not even get it to start with until after the weekend.

Yeah you can just don't put your wrist in the water.

It would be too early to submerge it in water. It won't be healed yet

Keep away from water and not sweating or you will lose colour

NO. It COULD get infected.
