As the school year comes to a close and we get ready to leave Fort Collins and head away for the summer (or stay in Colorado), many people are looking forward to showing off their new tattoos. However, artists recommend getting those tattoos sooner than later to give them time to heal before being exposed to the summer sun, according to NorthernStar.
