FUD. Tattooed areas are less likely to get skin cancer or any other skin-related diseases. In the direct sunlight, the tattoo gets slightly warmer than the untoched skin but that's fraction of a centigrade that we're talking here.
Sunscreen is mandatory for the time it's healing if you really have to walk in the sun with the tattoo exposed. It's recommended to use it month or two after healing when in direct sunlight but after that just use the sunscreen normally when you would put it on anyways.
