Why would tattooed people use sunscreen?

Because tattoos are more vulnerable to sun damage and need consistent protection.

“SPF is actually a fantastic idea because it keeps your tattoos bright.”

— Angeline, Manager, Lucky 13 Tattoo

“Aging is more obvious on tattooed skin, so it is in your best interest to take care of it more intensely.”

— Hunter, Tattoo Artist, River City Tattoo
