if out in sun covers up with the long sleeve bintang tee. You really should NOT go in the pool or surf after having it done it will affect the healing and possible the ink quality, but you will be told that by the tattoo artist to stay out of the water and especially the sun. We take our own pro tatt after care cream with us but many use bepanthen which is recommended we just find it a little too oily/greasy. The glad wrap really only needs to stay on just after to protect dirt/germs getting into it when heading home after having it done.
We use Ubud tattoo in legian and will be back there in a few weeks time! If you can get it done last day I say thats the way to go, you enjoy your holiday and all it has to offer first then have it done before you go home so you dont have to miss out on anything, enjoy :)
