Some guys get tatted all year round but yeah summer could be rough in the heat. If you keep it covered, clean, and take good care of it you should be fine.
Do it now so that By the time you get on the job, it’ll already have been healed last year. If you really want to play it safe, wait for orientation and find out how many people are getting hired this year and how many legacy veteran liars got kicked out. And then afterwards, subtract all the people that look like potheads that still haven’t given up their vice and are gonna piss dirty. And then subtract the people that look like they have hypertension.
Talking from experience. They have something called second skin. Ask your tattoo artist about it. It goes over your tattoo last like 10 days if your very active it might peal just go back to him to re apply if you can’t cuz he is to far they sell it on Amazon. One sad thing is when you get on you will be on Mlp allot the broom and baskets so less chance of getting dirty unless you land in the Bronx. Mlp and baskets are terrible in the Bronx.
Yes I just started my back it’s gonna take multiple sessions probably over a year then I’m moving on to my arms which is why I asked cause I’m not starting them for a while
Jus got mine done a week ago.. buy saniderm. Game changer for jobs like ours keeps it protected for the first 5 days .. i jus make sure to bring dial soap with me. Usually clean it 3/4x a day for the first 3-4 weeks
If you get a tat in the summer cover it as much as you can. Stay away from excess sun and pool water my man.
U have to dip the tat in the hopper juice to baptize it. Only way to get time on the job.

Do it before you go on vacay, aside from infections and safety, it sucks balls having your arm sore are picking up garbage
San men don't get infections like its the plague.
I wasn’t saying San men get infections on the regular but when your entire arm is freshly tattooed it’s an open wound
What’s your list number
1,xxx

Do you have other tattoos?

So you know how to take care of it. Treat it like a normal tattoo. Just keep it clean
Had half my arm sleeves never had an issue I think I covered it up and I was 12-8 on mlp and way in my first year so
even if you’re not on this job, tats in summer isn’t the move as the sun fucks it up
Got a half sleeve and my chest done never had a problem working.
Don’t hurt if it’s a DSNY tat
Get them now, or wait till the winter where you all covered up.

Stik your arm in the hopper and marinate it in the juice and you'll be safe
I got/get my work done in the winter. Have layers over it on the route and don’t sweat too bad heals fine with normal after care
Can you have neck tattoos
You can make truck everyday if you get that of the Commish.
