Protecting a Tattoo When Tanning

RE: Protecting a Tattoo When Tanning Post By Samantha (Guest Post) (08/13/2007) I also heard that chapstick (with sunblock in it) is great for covering tat's when tanning. Also sunblock with the highest SFF you can find will work great! As far as the tanning lotion goes, I too am an avid tanner in the salon and I came across this website. I swear it is the best site on the net with the best deals on designer lotion you would find at the salon but half the price.

Don't skimp on the sunscreen you use to cover your tattoo... make sure it is strong and of good quality. Protect your investment! RE: Protecting a Tattoo When Tanning Post By (Guest Post) (03/30/2006) I ran into the same problem, and I was told to use chapstick with sunscreen in it. I always put it on my lips before tanning anyways, so you just put it over your tattoowhen you do the lotion. I tan regularly and my tattoo is 4 years old, still looks brand new!

It's called Ocean Potion for extreme tanning and has instant bronzer in it and it's for indoor tanning or outdoor. Hope this helps!

It's that thick white creamy diaper rash ointment and I'm pretty sure it's the "white stuff" lifeguards use on their noses. It's mostly, if not all zinc oxide. It would be easy to control where you put it and you could just wipe it off when you're done tanning.
