I think we need a thread with all the pics! I have two from years ago, but still trying to figure out a third one that will be my first scuba related tattoo. I have some basic ideas but haven't tied it all together yet.

Wow!!!!! It has been almost four years since LVX originally posted. I hope he didn't go diving in contaminated water and experience a flesh eating bacteria!
Dive dry. Problem solved
Follow the aftercare instructions given by your artist. The most common answer I see here is 2 weeks give or take a little bit which follows the aftercare instructions I was given when I got mine.

Ok guys, as a heavily tattooed person and a diver I can tell you, you should wait at least two weeks before any activity that you are submerged in water. It is not going to pull ink out of your skin or anything, but it will not heal properly and you could scar. You are not even supposed to get the area you got tattooed wet for 6 days after.
