I personally don't have a tattoo - yet - but a friend of mine recently got one and he told me that he was supposed to keep it as dry as possible. We went swimming a little while after he got it, and he told us that he needed to stay out of the water for around two weeks. I think he mentioned it was to prevent infections from the lake water. I think showers would be okay as long as you dried it off quickly, but a lake I would say no. Pools would be chancey, because I don't think chlorine would be too good for it.
No way dude. Water is a natural healer. If you get submerge yourself in water, it will force the tattoo to heal when your body is not ready for it to. let your tattoo heal all the way before you get into any water. showers are fine, baths, pools, any where your tattoo is actually under the water, are not okay.
The ink could fade, but that depends on how your skin takes the ink. In most cases the ink will fade. I would stay away from chlorine. Sun can also make the ink fade, and rubbing and picking at a new tattoo.
yes, because its still a chemical that can irritate the tattoed part of your body. This is just from a simple point of view.
It is not recommended that you go swimming with a new tattoo. What happens is it could result in a bad reaction on the skin.
I swam 4 days after I got my tattoo in a lake and then a chlorine pool, and me and my tattoo is completely fine! But mine is also a very small tattoo, I wouldn't do it if it was a huge one.
It can take some of the ink out - wait 6 weeks before swimming!

No, because the tatoo is permanent.

Yes.
The one that you will likely have to handle the most is chlorine. However, recently a new cleaner has come out that is made up of certain salts that are less harsh on peoples skin. Ask your local pool professionals about it.
Second skin could very well work, but still, there is the possibility that chlorine will get through and will do horrors for your new piece. I'd hold off if I were you.
