The harsh glare of the sun can easily rob the
beauty of even the most glamorous tattoo. UV protection is highly crucial for
those who go for such designs, especially in the initial stages of tattoo
development. Taking proper care of a Cayman tattoo is in the hands of the
individual who chose to get the design, and it is up to them to ensure that it
does not fade away easily.
When to Go
Out
It is necessary to consider the proper
protection of the tattoo and stay away from direct sunlight for at least one
month after getting the new design. The use of sunblock is not the appropriate
in these initial phases because the skin requires time for proper healing.
After a month, however, it is possible to go out after applying a generous coat
of an appropriate sunscreen.
Sunscreen
Application
Go for a high quality sunscreen and apply it
directly to the tattoo to give it proper protection from the sunlight. Ideally,
one should reapply every half an hour to make the cover foolproof and
completely effective. Reapplication of the sunscreen after excessive sweating
and swimming is extremely necessary because such activities wash away the
existing sun block layers.
Covering
the Area
For people who cannot stay away from the sun for
any length of time, covering the area with the tattoo makes sense. This way the
sun will not reach the beautiful design and lighten it up. For a small area,
you can use bandages as proper cover. However, when the area is large, proper
clothing is the way to go. Those who think that they are safe in a car have it
all wrong. Fading may easily occur within the vehicle too, especially during
the hot sunny days.
Use of
Fade Guard
There are commercially developed fade guards
available that keep the beauty of tattoos intact. Some of these are in the form
of a lotion or even a spray for ease of application. Continued and regular
application of such products can keep the tattoo vibrant and beautiful for
times to come.
Proper
Moisturizing
The use of moisturizing lotion is a necessary
part of proper tattoo maintenance. This keeps the area completely rehydrated
and fights fading of the design. Those who want to keep their tattoos in the
best condition cannot afford to miss regular moisturizing.
The beauty and glamour of
a Cayman tattoo can catch the attention of
others without any difficulty. Through proper protection from the sun's rays,
it is possible to extend its life and get praises from onlookers for years to
come. Once the design starts fading, there is nothing to do but consider
retouching it repeatedly.
