Can I swim after a tattoo?

Because the tattoo is an open wound before it scabs, you are very prone to picking up infections from public water, or having a healing issue from the chemicals that are found in pools or hot tubs. If the tattoo is scabbing, you run the risk of having bits of the ink "heal out," which leaves white spots, if the scab gets soaked and falls off too soon. It's your choice if you wish to risk dealing with any of the above.

I would avoid it until the healing process has finished, you don't want to risk infection.

It would be best not to. Every time I've gotten tattoo work done, I always refrained from any activities that I would bake in the sun or to go in a chlorinated pool. I always waited at least 2 weeks until the scabbing/flaking was over with.

I look at it as, since I spent the money to get the tattoo, I didn't want to run the risk of having it fade from the sun hitting the fresh tat, or the chlorine from a pool fading it. Oceans or lakes could also have bacteria in it, and since a fresh tattoo is essentially an open wound until the healing process begins, you run a risk with that as well. I hated having to make this decision, but I always went the safe route and stayed out of the water/heavy sun, until it was done healing.

Since then I always try to get them in the cooler months, when it was to cold or swim, or I was wearing a hoody or some longer clothing over the tattoo. Hope this helps!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
