    New tattoo in sweat
    I got a new tattoo on my right biceps of a star will sweating or rubbing my arm on the side of my body affect a faded tattoo?

    Yes, rubbing will irritate the tattoo. It would be best to wear sleevess tops, or if you can't, VERY loose fitting ones around the sleeves until it heals (around 2 weeks)

    I had mine done right on my jeans line, now that's a hard place to prevent rubbing! I alternated between wearing really low sweat pants to covering it up with a non-stick gauze pad while I was at work.

    Make sure you keep applying antiseptic cream to the tatt to help prevent infections and prevent fading and peeling too quickly.
