NO, ABSOLUTE NO WAY..THAT TATTOO HAS TO HEAL AND BY YOU GOING SWIMMING...YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY GERMS ARE IN THE WATER WHERE EVER YOU ARE GOING TO GO SWIMMING.....WHAT DID THE ARTIST TELL YOU ABOUT SHOWERING..YES, YOU CAN SHOWER BUT DON'T STAY HERE THERE FOR EVER..THAT IS JUST LIKE GETTING YOU KNEE SCRAP FROM FALLING OF YOUR BICYCLE IT HAS TO FORM A SCAB SORT OF AND IT TAKES ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY ARE REALLY HEAL...SORRY BUSTED YOUR BUBBLE ABOUT SWIMMING BUT YOU WOULD MUCH RATHER SIT ON THE TOWEL AND LOOK AT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AROUND YOU...

Yea, if the scabs are gone. Saltwater may sting for a minute, fresh water is like taking a shower, you won't notice it.

not yet. you have to wait for the tattoo to heal first! the clorine will have a negative effect on the ink. I was told no swimming till the scab was gone.

If there is no inflamation and you've followed up on your after care you should be okay.
