As long as we're not talking about a new tattoo (healed at least 4-6 weeks), sunscreen is how I go. 

yea im talking about stuff a year plus old but with color on hands too 

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?

here it is tonight after a wash and topical cream

Very little chance that will turn out well. It looks like pretty extreme trauma to the skin. Did you have that done in a shop? I wouldn't never go back to whoever did that.

Nothing you can do except wait until it heals and see what it looks like then.

Also should I just keep doing the after care and hope for the best or modify it a bit? Doing the soap and lubaderm routine

yea had it done with 2 other tats that same day at the same sho same artist, the other two turned out well. This unfortunately  just got infected. dunno if the rash / infection just ravaged it or what. Today is day 3 of antibiotics 

Had extreme pain like 3 days in, no puss discharge no smell not hot to touch. Went to urgent care 7 days after the tat put on anti biotics this is what it looks like now
