Miami Ink makes lotions that work very well!

RE: Protecting a Tattoo When Tanning
A former lifeguard with 8 tattoos suggests... zinc oxide, or SPF 50+. Desitin will work, but it will get sandy if at the beach, and it stinks. Sunblock sticks (rather than lotions or sprays) tend to work great. I personally like NO-AD. $10 for a huge bottle.

A good sunscreen. NO exceptions! Cheap isn't the way to go when you are protecting a tat. Tats aren't cheap, so why wouldn't you be willing to spend say. $10 on a bottle of good sunscreen to protect them?

If you feel you need to protect your tattoo from the sun and tanning bed the chapstick with sunscreen sounds like the best idea but as one who had her one and only tattoo done on 02/20/1980 (which has never been subjected to the sun or a tanning bed) your tattoo is going to fade in a fairly short period of time no matter what but trying the chapstick might lessen the time between ink touch-ups ;-)
