Question by Diego: Recent tattoo and amusement park water rides?
I just got a tattoo yesterday (Sunday) and my family and I are planning on going to an amusement park (Cedar Point) this Saturday. I was wondering if I could go on the water rides, since I will have only had my tattoo for a week by then? Would it be dangerous? If I brought alcohol wipes to wipe the tattooed area off after each ride, would it be more safe then? The tattoo is very small on my wrist, please let me know! Thanks!

Nope, you should have thought about this before getting tattooed.
No swimming or sun Viagra cheap exposure for your tattoo for a month (and always use sun screen on your tattoo if it will be exposed after that month is up). A tattoo is basically the same as having an open wound, and it takes roughly a month for it to heal.
And alcohol wipes have to be the worst idea I have ever heard, keep those far away from your tattoo.
