What is the best way to protect a fresh tattoo when you have to go swimming

If you have a fresh tattoo, it is important to take steps to protect it from the water while swimming. Here are some tips for keeping your new ink safe:

Keep it dry. The best way to protect a fresh tattoo from water is to keep it dry. This means avoiding swimming, bathing, or showering for at least two weeks after getting your tattoo.
Cover it with a waterproof bandage. If you absolutely must go swimming, you can cover your tattoo with a waterproof bandage. Make sure the bandage is large enough to cover the entire tattoo and that it is securely taped down.
Use a hydrocolloid patch. Hydrocolloid patches are a great way to protect a fresh tattoo from water. These patches are made of a material that absorbs moisture and creates a moist environment that helps the tattoo heal.
Avoid chlorine and salt water. Chlorine and salt water can irritate a fresh tattoo and slow down the healing process. If you must go swimming in chlorinated or salt water, make sure to rinse your tattoo with clean water as soon as possible afterward.
Moisturize regularly. Once your tattoo has healed, it is important to keep it moisturized to prevent it from fading or cracking. Use a fragrance-free, oil-free moisturizer and apply it to your tattoo several times a day.
