Eijin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi everyone. I know that my question may seem a bit silly and that someone could say to just use my common sense. I'm still looking for an advice. Everyday we are getting more and more of sun now and everyone will be using screen protector for their tattoo. Last year when I was doing so I have found that every time sunscreen was leaving stains on the clothes. Yellow stains on white t shirts and grey greasy on colour. They are incredible difficult to get rid of and it's difficult for me to imagine that every person who's got a tattoo is struggling with this. Is there any way, remedy to avoid that? I just can't think of any and I actually feel a bit silly to come here and ask for something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Huh. Never had that problem with Neutrogena or Sun Bum. Perhaps is the brand of sunscreen you're using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Haven't had that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eijin Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm a bit surprised it never happened to you guys I'll try to change brand in that case. Anyway thanks. And this is what I have found about sunscreen stains. "Sunscreen stains are mostly oily, but they can also leave orange, rust-colored stains on your clothes thanks to avobenzone, an ingredient found in sunblock that can react with iron in hard water."

SStu Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Well, we definitely have hard water . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1esotericguy Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I always use a zinc based sunscreen which is the best for protection. But it’s also the greyest, thickest balm. Gets on everything like the op described. So now I wear golfing sleeves whenever I’m commuting or taking any kind of prolonged solar beat down on my arms. They’re really comfortable actually. Just google golf sleeves. pidjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havoc00 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I work a few hours outside a week like 12, under some coverage but at times the sun will be directly on me, should I just sweat it out and wear a long sleeve spf shirt and some pants? Is That overkill? Or should I just wear short sleeves and shorts and trust in sunscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 a good quality 50 SPF sunscreen will work just fine. havoc00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 12 is not “a few.” 😉 oboogie, havoc00 and AlH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm paying for it now. havoc00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 As long as we're not talking about a new tattoo (healed at least 4-6 weeks), sunscreen is how I go. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inamra Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Can anyone recommend a good sunblock that comes in stick form (rather than lotion)? havoc00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
