Just want to remind all you tattoo veterans out there as well as all the newbies that the sun is a NO NO on a fresh tattoo.  Please keep your tattoo covered  with clothing or whatever necessary for a MINIMUM of two weeks if you step outside into direct sunlight.  (No tanning beds either)  This is not to be taken lightly because even 10 minutes of direct sunlight is enough to fry a new tattoo.  It is not pretty, takes forever to heal, and will cost you money to get it fixed.
