Bonnaroo veterans and tattoo pros on r/bonnaroo agree: if you have a tattoo appointment scheduled between now and Bonnaroo, reschedule it. Fresh ink needs about a month to heal completely. Exposing new tattoos to the sun, sweat, and water at the festival risks infections and ink damage. The community sets mid-April as the latest safe date to get new tattoos before Roo.
On the health front, start upping your immune game now — vitamin C, B-complex, zinc, and supplements like Emergen-C are the go-to recommendations. This proactive boost can help fend off the notorious post-festival “wook flu.”
Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned Roo vet, the key takeaway is clear: no fresh ink within four weeks of Bonnaroo, avoid impulsive festival tattoos, and prep your body with vitamins to maximize your experience.
Protect your skin, protect your health, and get ready to enjoy Bonnaroo at full strength.
