I got a tattoo 2 weeks and 5 days ago. Can I go swimming?

The tattoo isn't peeling much anymore. All the scabs have fallen off and it looks very nice. It is smallish and on my wrist. I've taken good care of it, covered it when I went in the sun kept it clean and moisturized. I want to go swimming tomorrow. Can I?

    I would try to go swimming but not put the tattoo directly in the water or thoroughly exposed into the sun. I would try putting a small gauze over top, or if It is small try putting 2 or 3 bandaids over top.

    I wouldn't. It sounds like it isn't fully healed, especially if it is still peeling. Wait at least another week or two.
