There are many days when it is sunny outside that you will catch me wearing long sleeves. Not because I am cold, because I want to protect my sun from the skin. There are so many people that have skin cancer or going to get skin cancer that is scares me. I used to use a tanning booth to get color on my skin until I read a magazine article on a flight home last year about a young lady that got skin cancer from continuous use of those lights in the tanning bed.
Coppertone has a product out on the market called Tattoo Guard that contains UVA/UVB sunscreen to help protect against UV rays that can fade or blur tattoos. If you have a tattoo that you like, you will probably tell me that it hurt getting it. You probably also don’t want that tattoo to fade, especially if you spent a pretty penny on it. Tattoos can be expensive and with exposure to the sun, can fade and not look so pretty.
You can currently purchase the Tattoo Guard from Coppertone in both the lotion for and sunscreen stick. Here are some of the features you might want to know:
- Lotion great for larger tattooed areas
- Moisturizing formulas help maintain smooth appearance of tattooed skin
- Photostable, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
- Water resistant (80 minutes)
- Hypoallergenic & dermatologist tested
I have tattoos that I want to keep looking pretty as long as possible. I carry either the Tattoo Guard lotion or stick in my purse on the sunny days when I know I need some protection from the sun!

i have seen this in stores- my tattoos aren’t um…where the sun will shine. but my oldest has to get a fairly large mole removed in a few months and she’s a swimmer- so i’ll need to make sure that sensitive scarring area is covered really well next summer and i think the tattoo stuff will be just the thing for it

What a great idea. I need to find some since I have a couple of tattoos on each arm.

I don’t have any tattoos so that may be why I didn’t know you needed something special to cover them up. Interesting!
Jennifer says
We use Coppertone all the time and I did not know about this product!!! I actually didn’t know tattoos needed anything special. I have 3, so that’s great to know!!
Daisy says
This is a great idea! We love Coppertone because they are so innovative and have good quality products. We used Coppertone sunscreens this summer when we did all of our water park hops.

Danielle @ We Have It All says
I had no idea that Coppertone made this! A few of my tattoos are covered, but the one on my arm has faded a lot because of the sun. Thanks for sharing!
Pam says
My daughter has two tattoos so I will be sure to let her know about this product. I didn’t even realize they made this.
Andrea says
What a great product! I never thought about how much the sun could fade a tattoo until now. Thanks for sharing!
