Is it okay to sit in a hot tub with a two-day new tattoo?

Question

My back is killing me, so I want to sit in my hot tub. But I got a small tat on my hip on Sunday and I'm worried it'll draw out ink? Thankyouu

Answer 1

NO. DO NOT. That has a VERY high risk of infection and it can ruin the tattoo. A shower is different since it's not stagnant water and there's soap involved.

I use Rocco's Old School on my tattoos. All natural. Heals fast and healthy.

Answer 2

NO definatly NOT ok. you will damage the ink and sitting in hot water is just inviting an infection. You should wait two weeks before submerging it, showers are fine, baths, hot-tubs, pools and swimming are not

Answer 3

you shouldn't. your not suppose to submerge tattoo's underwater. taking a shower doesn't submerge water. your tattoo needs to heal so they say you need to let it breath. it can draw out ink and make it fade faster and become blotchy. i have two hip tattoos, one on each side, and i didn't swim or submerge it for atleast a month after i got it.

Answer 4

No hot tub. You have a healing tatt you don't want chemicals in your wound.

Answer 5

no! you can shower with a tattoo, but that's not prolonged submersion, not to mention the chemicals. give it a couple weeks.

Answer 6

You can put depending on the chemicals you use I'd probably wait.

Answer 7

Well. Can you take a shower with it? If yes, I don't know why it would be a problem! :)
