Answer #1

There is a reason we say to stay out of sun and water for 6 weeks. After 3 days your tattoo is nowhere near healed. You could mess up the tattoo buy not using proper care. Go and see the artist who tattooed you for a brush up on after care and to see if you did any damage.

Answer #2

make sure to keep it covered up or put lots of sunblock on it. dont pick the scabs and keep it moisturized. I used aquaphor on all mine.

Answer #3

Yes, that happens…it’ll end up a bit lighter in the area that got all the sun, too. Didn’t they tell you to keep it covered for a few weeks? :)
