if you like to swim and sweat in the summer winter is best but if you are willing to keep it covered in the sun stay out of the pool and take extra measures to prevent infection then it is really your choice i had mine done at different times of the year i loved the summer to show them off as you want to do with a new piece but the winter requires less maintenance, you just have to be sure to keep it moisturized as cold air tends to dry skin out

In the summertime you can't swim and you run the risk of sunburn. But, in the summertime you can wear less clothes which would let the tattoo breath and also not ruin too many shirts because of ink bleeding out. So.... really, it's your decision.

depends on where you are getting your tattoo. i just got mine done on the inner side of my left ankle and because im wearing shorts constantly, i think that has to do with why it's healing so well and not getting infected. you just cant swim or be in the sun for a little while. its really not that big of a deal. but i would suggest summertime... let your tat breathe.

Dosent really matter. In the summer you just need to be sure to stay out of the sun and water for at least two weeks after getting your tattoo.

I got my tattoo during the summertime in my lower back and everytime the sun would shine on it it would burn that was the only downside. so uncomfortable

Noo.
The exposure to the sun and the swimming and what not is really bad for a new tattoo.
You should wait until fall, or at least the end of summer.
That way you're not out tanning and swimming.

Doesnt really matter but in the summer time your not able to swim for a week to two weeks after, and you have to keep sunblock on it regularly.
