Protect Your Tattoo
- Clean and dry your tattoo thoroughly to ensure it is clear of bacteria.
- Wrap the tattoo with a waterproof material, such as plastic wrap.
- Do your best to seal the plastic tightly with medical adhesive.
- Avoid staying in the water for a long time.
- Remove the wrap straight away once you’re out of the water.

Correspondingly, can you swim with a new tattoo if it’s covered? To swim with a new tattoo, cover it and waterproof it as best as possible right before you get in the water, remove the covers after, and gently wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap, then let it air dry and heal. Continue using the aftercare cream throughout the post-tattoo healing process.
