bad shit about getting Tats is i'm afraid to workout

[TheyCallMeBruno]

i love to get Tattoo's but I'm fraid to workout cuz i'm afraid i might crackle the ink.. shit..

any advice? it takes a good 6 days to recover.. but 12 days to really recover itself BUT i rahter play it safe.. I seen this dude who had a tattoo on his back and then worked at his construction job.. OH MY GOD!! his tat got all screwed up and cracked!! it was a mess man!! all ruined!!! I have to pump some iron and feel the heat in my arms and 6 to 7 days wait aint cutting it..

Taking a week off will at best cause a minimal loss of strength and muscle, and it may actually be just the extra recovery time you've needed for a while. Even if you do lose a small amount, it will easily be quickly regained. You have to look at the sacrifices versus rewards long term. Even if you do lose a small amount over the next week, in two to three weeks from now, you'll probably be right back where you are and continuing to make further progress. But fuck with your tatoo now, and instead of a couple weeks hiatus from further progress towards your muscle/strength goals, you'll have many years of a fucked up looking tatoo that you're unhappy with and can only do something about through potentially expensive and potentially unsuccessful laser surgeries.

You think you really run that big of a risk getting a tat and working out? Damn, i might have to reconsider that tat I've been planning to get on my arm.

I need tattoos when i'm very pissed off and shit I NEED to feel the pain dragging against my skin. I want to feel the burn and the sharp pain in me.. i need that shit to relax me or i'll go nuts..

Feels very good, that pain, it controls the pissed off anger i am feeling at that moment. but working out does ruin the tattoo unfortunatley.

bro, get your ink and let it heal, or else you are going to look like mr squiggle smoked a blunt and went nutso on you

 

[tednatas]

if u got a good tat with enuff ink u can train in 4 days. provided ur not too sore. thats what i did. and no probs.

 

[jocktheglide]

or how about when you get old and it wrinkles from the skin?

 

[hornedfrogs07]

Or how bout if you got one on a 16.5" arm, and then got up to around 20." How bad would that fuck it up?

 

[gator_mclusky]

Padna of mine got a tat on his delt....when he grew it went off center...looks all fucked up.

 

[hornedfrogs07]

Well, I was thinking just a (no imagination, I know) tat around the bicep, tribal or barbed wire or something. How would that be affected by arm growth?

probably not at all. but unless u are fully in to the design and dont just pick it off the wall, ur a trendy guy. its like buying gap jeans. but to each his own man. if ur going to go the tribal rout i would design it my self. thats whats cool about tribal. it can be anything. just remember to tip ur artist first. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hornedfrogs07]

Yeah, I would design my own and all, but that requires at least a small bit of artistic ability, which I do not have. I have a pretty good, unique idea for what I want though.

 

[asiancbr]

yeah be original, what if u got a tattoo of a naked chick on ur arm, and then u got huge! man she would look like a fat lady! hot damn!

i just groan when i hear people say that.. It's like this.. if i make it up to 50 I can care less man, shit My life is like over and i have a few years in me before i die.. so why gives a shit what it looks like on your body...

and if i make it up to 60 or 70 Fuck that! i'm more worring about controlling my bowel movement! or losing my healt.. health problems.. sore aching bones! lose of boner .. and all that shit that comes with being old!! it's like we have a good fews years left so cares about the wrinkles from a tattoo!! will i still have a penison or lose it all in the market and eat dog food???

no no no!! that's out of style now that wrap around the bicep shit..

look at Pamela Anderson.. that barbed wire shit gots to go.. yeah It was a Good Fad for Bodybuilders way back, but it's cheezy now..

 

[NotorESdsm]

Just keep A& D on it for the first week, and then keep Sun screen on it, (its easier to get a lip balm with SPF in it, and just put it on the Tat anytime you go in the sun or tan)
Of course the lip balm may not last long if its a huge Tat! LOL

 

[fullongive]

I found my tribal design down my arm took ages to heal. I went to the gym after about 7days, thinking it was nearly healed. After my workout and 45mins of rowing, you notice the last few bits of scab start cracking and scarring up.. 10 days if perfect recovery for a tattoo.

Preparation H works wonders for healing, then Savlon will aid recovery.

 

[Spectre]

You will be surprised, if you are running the ragged edge of overtraining then you pop out 10 days later stronger than ever.. Fry yourself completely and enjoy the time off. Maybe drop into keto and get a little dieting out of the way.
