I don't know, Lisa.
I'd call Lauren and ask her how hers is holding up (I mean it's RIGHT on her foot) but she's currently out of sorts. Her "highschool sweetheart" that moved down there with her and has been living with her the past two years had just up and left her to move back here. She's not really taking phone calls.
I always thought it seemed a bit strange to get them in the summer, especially with my parents having a pool.. but they don't use Chlorine, which is what most of the advice seems to be against. That stuff can reek havoc! I'm also rarely there anymore so it doesn't really matter anymore. I'll let you know how mine heels. It won't be on my foot, but close enough, right?
You should have Logan start drawing some stuff up, so you'll be ready! Maybe there will be a truly horrible week in the forecasts and you can pop and get a tattoo! Hehe. (Of course with how the weathermen work, the week will be gorgeous..
)
Anyway, the tattoo guy here said a tattoo is like slicing your knee open on the concrete. It's a wound. Once it scabs and peels, the skin has regenerated and you're back up to being as normal as ever (though some minor pain and stuff might still be there) He said they advise against submerging it because it'll keep it from being able to heal very quickly. Same thing, I'm sure, as how I couldn't get my scars wet for awhile after my surgery. Gotta give them time to do their thing.
He said they don't like chlorine because it's likely to strip the color out of your tattoo. Makes sense.
He's also from Florida! He used to do tattoo conventions in Miami and said he lived in Coco Beach for years, so I tend to think his advice on water is right-on!
I'm crazy that way.
