How To Put On Waterproof Tattoos?

Waterproofing a tattoo for swimming is not possible, but there are some ways to prevent damage. One effective method is to cover the tattoo with a waterproof bandage like tegaderm or sidearm. Second skin, like Saniderm, is the most commonly used water-repellent bandage. To get a waterproof tattoo effectively, use a high SPF waterproof tattoo sunscreen, protect infected skin with a waterproof bandage or plastic wrapper before entering the water, and use a waterproof barrier cream for tattoos, such as A+D Ointment or Tattoo Goo.

To apply temporary tattoos, clean, dry, and free of makeup, sunscreen, or lotions. Press the tattoo, design facing down, onto the skin, hold it in place, and gently rinse the image with water for best effect. Use a piece of fabric or a sponge that is neither bone dry nor soaking wet to push it against the backing of the tattoo. Hold it in place and follow the step-by-step instructions on how to apply temporary tattoos.

Print tattoos are easily applied with water and last 2-6 days. Gently wash the tattoo with soap and water to avoid wearing off. Remove the outermost protective transparent film using a damp washcloth or sponge, or a damp paper towel. Hold the tattoo in place while applying temporary tattoos.

In summary, waterproofing a tattoo for swimming is essential to ensure its longevity and appearance. By following these steps, you can enjoy your new tattoo without worrying about losing its vibrant colors or getting ruined.
