rhb Jun 2024 1:02pm, 2 Jun 2024 2,274 posts	0 rhb I got a tattoo (2 separate ones adjacent actually) on my upper left arm 10 days ago. The area is healing well after ez-tattoo cover layer for 4 days, 2 days of Benpathen Tattoo, then onto Hustle Butter 3x daily. Next Sunday I'm racing 11 miles start at 7am and it'll likely be warm enough for club vest layer only to be the comfy choice. Advice is to keep tatoo area covered whilst it heals though, but I'm wondering would upto 90 mins of low aspect sun at that time be damaging? My race is N-S point to point (Welsh Castles Relay, Stage 11) so the rising sun will be on my left side directly onto that arm, although I may get some hedgerow shade as most of route guide rule is "stay left". Any wisdom much appreciated, thanks.

My sleeve was annoying it last night on a run so I rolled it up out the way, it was after 7pm and not in direct sun though so hopefully no damage done. This is one of the two, taken a few days ago. I love the invader graffiti mosaics and this is a nod to those.
