Current Events > Bug pray on a 3+ week old tattoo..?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hanging with the boys out in the woods so I sprayed up, but realizing that shit could be bad for my shit?

its not peeling at all anymore that I can tell and mostly looks fully healed except for some red thats still doing a weird shiny thing

---

If it's scabbing (even barely) it could attract flies but that's all I can think of off the top of my head

Yeah I mean its already sprayed so im in it regardless but i feel like im fine at this point?

Up

If the tattoo already peeled, you should be fine.

I would be careful and stop use if the bugspray causes irritation though.

Have any studies been done about how Praying Mantises react to tattoos?

I don't see how it would hurt, unless they need to dig into your skin to anoint themselves for the ceremony.

Worst case it just fades it a but though, yeah? I already need to touch up the shading so its whatever in that case I guess, I just care about my lines staying crisp

it never really peeled after the scabs peeled, it ended up being an actually really clean heal

If it's already healed, the ink is already in the skin. Some bug sprays are alcohol based. I'd be more concerned with irritation than fading. I'm sure those fatty lines will be fine, lol.

Your tattoo is pretty much healed already after 3 weeks. If something does happen, just get a touch up.
