Why Fall Is One of the Best Times to Get a New Tattoo
As summer starts winding down and cooler weather moves into Columbus, Ohio, it’s a great time to start thinking about that tattoo you’ve been putting off.
At 22 Caliber Tattoo Studios, we tattoo year-round, but fall has some definite advantages when it comes to getting new ink and taking care of it during the healing process.
Less Sun Exposure
Fresh tattoos need to be protected from excessive sunlight while they heal. During the summer, that can be difficult when you’re spending time at the pool, lake, beach, festivals, or just outside in the sun.
As temperatures cool down, most people naturally spend less time with their skin exposed to direct sunlight. That can make protecting your new tattoo much easier.
Cooler Weather Can Make Aftercare Easier
Hot weather means sweat, swimming, and more outdoor activity — all things you need to think about when healing a fresh tattoo.
Fall weather can make the healing period easier to manage, especially for larger tattoos or pieces that require multiple sessions.
You still need to follow your artist’s aftercare instructions, but cooler weather can eliminate some of the challenges that come with getting tattooed during the hottest part of the year.
It's a Great Time to Start a Larger Tattoo
Thinking about a sleeve, half sleeve, large leg piece, back piece, or another multi-session tattoo?
Starting during the fall gives you months to work with your artist before next summer.
Instead of trying to rush a large tattoo right before vacation season, you can plan the artwork, schedule multiple sessions, and give everything plenty of time to heal.
Halloween Tattoo Season Is Coming
Fall also means one of our favorite times of the year at 22 Caliber — Halloween tattoo season.
From horror and traditional Halloween designs to pumpkins, bats, black cats, ghosts, skulls, vampires, and creepy custom artwork, there are endless possibilities.
