It depends on how new the tat is. If it's fairly new then I would hold off on going swimming in salt or fresh water. The sun isn't good for new tats either.

If you have a new tattoo it isn't recommended to have your tattoo in water for an extended amount of time. If you are going in the water you could use medical tape, saran wrap, and whatever ointment your tattooist recommends for the healing process. I, personally, would put ointment on the tattoo, cover it with the saran wrap and then use the medical tape to hold it on. Doesn't sound very attractive, but it will allow you to spend time in the water and not affect the tattoo.
Yes, exposure to sea water can affect a tattoo by causing fading or blurred lines over time. Additionally, salt water can dry out and irritate the skin, potentially leading to discomfort and slower healing for a new tattoo. It's best to protect tattoos from prolonged exposure to sea water by keeping them covered or using a barrier like waterproof bandages while swimming.

Chlorine can cause fading of tattoo colors, especially if the tattoo is fresh and not healed completely. It is best to avoid exposing a new tattoo to chlorine to prevent any potential damage. It's recommended to wait until the tattoo is fully healed before swimming in chlorinated water.

No, mixing salt with water does not create a new substance. The salt dissolves in the water but the chemical makeup of both substances remains the same. This is a physical change, not a chemical change.
No, salt and water do not chemically combine to form a new compound. Salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water to form a solution, where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules through a process called hydration.
