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.

causes the colors in the tattoo to fade
How can you cover your tattoo when you swim?
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.

What happens to a new tattoo after swimming?
Yes and no, soaking in water will damage a new tattoo but taking a shower is fine. However, when showering, don't soap the tattoo or scrub it. You should make sure that you let the new ink completely heal before swimming or taking a bath and soaking it. And always use sunblock when you are exposed to the sun, otherwise the ink will fade. minimum of 2 weeks - until all flaking and peeling is finished and all scabs have fallen off. Even then, you're taking a risk getting in a chemically treated pool or bacteria-infested pond or lake, especially if you stay for an extended period of time. A tattoo is not considered fully healed until a new layer of protective skin has grown over it - this process usually takes about 3 months. Until then, your tattoo is most vulnerable to all elements - bacteria, sun, chemicals, pollution, etc. This is why getting a tattoo during the summer is not recommended, especially for swimmers and beach bunnies! If you've already got the tattoo, all I can really recommend now is stay out of the pool for at least 2 weeks and then keep your swimming to a minimum if you absolutely must go, and make sure you clean your tattoo thorougly after getting out of the water. If you can hold out for the full 3 month perdiod, you'll be doing your new tattoo a great service and I guarantee that it will have been worth the sacrifice. http://tattoo.about.com/od/tatfaq/f/swimming.htm As long as you stay out of the water until the tatoo is completely healed it will be fine, the water is not what messes it up, it is the chemicals in the water like chlorine and what not. Pool water won't hurt a tattoo after it is healed but you should be sure to use sunblock because the sun is not good for tattoos - it can cause them to fade. I know this because my tattoo artist nags me about it everytime I go see him. :D No, cholrine will not bleach out your tattoo, tattoos fade anyways, it is just people only notice this after swimming because frankly nobody looks at their own tattoo after a few months of having it, unless someone else tells you about it. Now, sun will make you tattoo fade and kinda bleed out (not blood, but the colors will spread about and blur you tattoo) this may sound bad, but you will want to put spf 30 on your tattoo every time you go out, it gives good protection for your tattoo. tattoo ink is not like dye, it is an opaque ink that will just sunfade. Chemical fading (especially with the new inks). However, you do want to wait 2 weeks after getting a tattoo before swimming with it because you may risk some sort of infection.
What kind of chemical compounds do salt and water form?
They don't. The dissolving of salt in water is not the formation of a new compound, but rather merely creating a uniform mixture. It is not a new substance.

Salt water. When the salt dissolves, it is not a chemical reaction, so no new substance is created. The water molecules surrounded each ion in the solid NaCl separating the Na+ ions from the Cl- ions.
