I got my first tattoo (color), a tribute to my recently deceased mom, almost a month ago. I was told no sun for 2 weeks but they may have meant no tanning bed (I'm a regular). Another shop I visited had instructions for new tattoos & it states no sun until healed, but no timeframe. I'm healed but I still cover it. When outside I slather it w/ dermatology grade sunblock. Better to be safe than not.

I had my navel pierced in Negril in 2001. It was at a doctor's office in town, up the hill behind Negril Plaza. Don't remember his name... too long ago. Odds are you could get both done at the same place in the states. Most tattoo studios I visited before deciding on where I'd go do both.
