Sunburn on brand new tattoo

[CindyLou]

I just got my tattoo last night and was out in the sun (unexpectedly) today. It got a little sunburn on the top. Is it ruined? What should I do?

Stay out of the sun.

There is nothing you can now, except stay out of the sun until it’s healed. It will take 4-6 weeks to heal, you’ll know what it’s going to look like then, not before.

How do you “unexpectedly” get in the sun. Did you not notice it??

That was a very silly thing to do. As Hogrider said, how do you not know you are going out in to the sun?
