Question: I just got a new tattoo, and I want to get a spray tan tomorrow. Should I take any special precautions?

How does spray tanning affect the older tattoos?

Answer: It is best to cover the new tattoo either with a sticker, or with a good dose of moisturizing cream to avoid any contamination.

When it comes to old tattoos, they are not effected by the spray tan at all. They will just not be as bright as they would be if your skin was white until the tan wears off.
