Hey guys!, i work at a tattoo palor in Perth and just have a little info 4 u, so u hav a more enjoyable tatt. after getting your tattoo for the healing period its important to stay out of the sun for atleast 2 weeks also DO NOT swim in pools or spa as they carry bacteria, the ocean is fine though remember that salt although is antibacterial it is also a bleach to tattoos and they can fade very easily. In order to prolong the life of your tattoo artists need to press hard on the needle to ensure the ink goes in deep enuf or u may find that your tattoo will fade. Places like feet and hands may need to be recoloured a few times before it becomes permanent as the skin is tough! always remember to use ur antibacterial creams like bepanthem (nappy rash cream) or even savlon, i suggest taking this to Bali with u if u intend on gettin inked, as Bali's products may not be the same. if u follow all these directions im sure u will be most happy with ur new tatt!
Hope i have been helpful for 1st timers gettin ink in Bali x
