In general, the idea of getting a tattoo tends to come up when warmer weather approaches, as during spring and summer the skin is more likely to be exposed. However, cold seasons are much more practical for tattooing. Here’s why:

Firstly, the low temperatures make the experience much more comfortable for both the tattooist and the client. There is nothing more annoying than worrying about excessive perspiration at that moment.

In the same way, as it is not so hot, the healing process will be easier. Remember that while the skin is healing, it is essential to clean the tattooed area twice a day, changing the bandages or plastic film to prevent infection, and to moisturise the area with a cream rich in vitamin A to stimulate skin regeneration.

Another point to bear in mind is that tattoos should not be exposed to the sun without sunscreen. This is another point in favour of getting tattooed in cold weather, as the clothes you wear are more likely to cover the tattooed area from the sun’s rays.

For all these reasons, if we are considering further embellishing our skin with an original and meaningful design, autumn is the best time of the year to do it.
