You all know the basics in tattoo care—which includes protecting your tattoo from sun damage. We’ve also heard that tattoos might cause cancer, especially when exposed to the sun. But recently, a research conducted at Bispebjerg Hospital proved that the standard black ink tattoos may instead, shield the wearer’s skin from damage and UVR-induced skin cancer. Haven’t heard of these recent findings yet? Read more about it here.

Of course, blackwork tattoos may never be used as a total substitute for sunscreen. But that’s only until a new study springs up, bringing forth good news that blackwork tattoos can work as good as SPF lotions. What’s not to love with some good blackwork? They’re timeless and they look gorgeous, especially when done right. So grab your strongest sunscreen and brave the sun with your blackwork pieces.
