you cant go in salt water and with the pool as long as you dont stay in and soak for a long period of time its ok. Putting lots of Bepanthanen cream on regularly helps the peeling and drying out of the "wound" and helps keep the ink in. As Agus my tattooist says to me: "Lenny you can swim, but like dolphin! in and out of water not stay under for long" I love the simplistic terms they use to explain themselves.
