How to Keep Your New Tattoo Looking Fresh While Traveling in Israel

Your Tattoo’s Biggest Challenge? The Tel Aviv Sun

Tel Aviv is an amazing place to get a tattoo, but if you’re traveling around Israel afterward, you’ll need to be extra careful. The sun, sea, and desert climate can take a toll on fresh ink.

Tips for Protecting Your Tattoo While Traveling

  • Stay out of direct sunlight – A fresh tattoo and strong sun don’t mix. Keep it covered with light clothing for the first few weeks.

  • Avoid the beach – As tempting as the Mediterranean looks, swimming too soon can ruin your tattoo and increase the risk of infection.

  • Hydrate and moisturize – Dry skin leads to poor healing. Use a fragrance-free lotion to keep your tattoo vibrant.

  • Skip the workout – If your tattoo is on a joint or high-movement area, take it easy for a few days to avoid stretching the skin.

If you're looking for a safe and hygienic tattoo studio in Tel Aviv, Craftz Berlin is a top choice for travelers. Our artists give detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your tattoo heals properly—no matter where your journey takes you next.
