Keep Out of the Sun
Keep Out of the Sun "Sunshine is fresh ink enemy No. 1, so take tattoo aftercare protocol very seriously." UV protectant clothing is your new best friend, providing a shield for your tattoo for at least 3 weeks (the key healing period for a fresh tattoo). And guess what: sunscreen is a big no-no. It shouldn't be applied on fresh tattoos for the first 3 weeks, but after these first weeks have passed, sunscreen should be used, in order to preserve the colors in the tattoo and skin itself.
