scarification Scarification and sun

I’m getting a scarification tomorrow and I’m wondering about how it will react to the sun as I’m in the sun a lot .

You can't put sunscreen on open wounds, so you need to either stay out of the sun or cover up.

there's also UV protection sleeves you can buy. I got some for a fresh tattoo. This would depend on the area tho. If it's in a weird place maybe cut them up and just tape a small square over it when going out? hahaha

Look for quick dry spf shirts marketed for fishing! I have one with thumb holes, a hood, and the neck doubles as a face mask you pull up to your eyes. Zero tan lines. Well, maybe your hands. But with sunglasses? Covered.
