How To Care For Your Tattoo Removal on Vacation

Keeping up with and caring for the tattoo being removed is the most important thing you can do to insure a fast and healthy healing process.  Listed below are a few tips to follow in order to keep your tattoo healthy while on vacation.

Cover Up In The Sun

It is recommended to avoid sun exposure completely when getting laser tattoo removal, but this is impossible on some vacations, especially those to the shore or somewhere warm.  If you do find yourself being exposed to the sun, it is important to carefully cover up the area being affected by laser tattoo removal.

Stay Away From Pools.

If your hotel has a pool, it may be tempting to go for a swim, but it is important to avoid exposing the tattoo to pools for at least a week after every treatment.  Pools have bacteria that could cause your tattoo to become infected which is the last thing you would want.

Increase The Amount Of Water You Drink.

On vacation, it is easier to get dehydrated either from too much time in the sun, or consuming more alcoholic beverages than normal.  Drinking water will keep the body hydrated and will continue the process of tattoo removal.  Ink will leave the body faster if your body stays hydrated.

These tips are definitely ones you want to take into consideration while going on vacation.  These tips can help the tattoo removal process along.  Following these while on vacation can also decrease your chance of something going wrong with the healing tattoo.
