   Hi,

   I work a landscaping job and have to go back to work after my first session.

   It will be sunny outside (per forcast) and I don't like wearing hats.

   Any suggestions for a good sunscreen

   I'd assume something with a strong SPF

   actually, it won't be super sunny but sunny enough

   also, i'm not fairskinned and I don't burn in the sun so it isn't like i'm sensitive to the sun

   I, also, have ALOT of tatttoo's and have worked in the sun during the summer the day after I got them

   Well, from what I've read, it's best to not overexpose your head to the sun.
    
   I know you said you don't like to wear caps but it's probably in your best interest. I think I read that overexposure will speed up the "fading" process meaning that you'll probably need touchups often.

   As for sunscreen, I'm not sure. I haven't used one in years. I use sunless tanners with SPF in it... I don't think that's what you're looking for though...lol...

   leave your head alone!!! Remember this is a tattoo and the pigments have to settle in.. My healing advice on my MHT and any other tattoo that Ive got... Leave it alone.. let it heal.. For the first 10 days i could still feel little bumps (scabs) on my head which means its still healing, so shaving with a razor is removing those tiny scabs and removing alot of the pigment!!! Also while it was red I wore a paperboy hat because it was loose and soft on the brim (hairline)... Then after about 10 days I started to use a fragrence free lotion with spf.. the one i use is Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 50... it was like 10 bucks at Wal-Mart.. Remember LEAVE YOUR HEAD ALONE, the more you fuss with it the more your removing pigments... Stay out of the sun for like a month or more.. if you have to wear a cap... this is a big deal and expensive so why not take care of it and try your hardest to protect the amazing work of HIS? Good luck!!

   Whoa, I overlooked that part about going back to work after your first treatment.

   So I'll echo MScott... let the pigments settle. You'll be sweating once you are out in the sun. Sweating is a 'No-No' after a treatment.

   You spent all this money, you might as well take care of your treatment.
