this is an area im very familiar with.

first 3 days after tat: good to go. lift whatever. no scabbing yet..

days 4-14: no arm isolation. meaning no curls/extensions. everything else is a go. deadlifts come in handy at a time like this. even bench press and rows should be ok as long as your tat isnt directly on/inside your elbow (which i have, it sucks).

added note.. i only had to worry about this on my right arm. when i had my left sleeve done i used "tattoo goo" which healed it without any scabbing whatsoever. i highly recommend finding that shit. its great. i lifted throughout the entire healing process..

hope this helps bro..

i think i should be alright with everything now thinking about it. it on the side of my arm neither on my tri or bicep. i did a few compound movement just to see what effected it and it appears nothing lol. im still going to be careful

After the first few days your good.

Be sure to put your ointment on it prior to working out, and use Preperation H as your ointment in a week and a half or so to control the itching.

Got a pic of it?

haha, yeah it's almost like tribal. I had my artist draw up some different original designs, it's the beginning of my half sleeve. tribal sleeve w.e u wanna call it lol. I have a kanji symbol on the back of my tri that has the same color skeem and I'm going to work the rest of the sleeve around it.

Your avitar would make a bad ass Tat in the middle of your back. If it was bordered in with a diamond like shape. It would probably be expensive as hell though.

I already have a USMC/Devil dog tat in mind. im just saving up for it as it's about 1200-1500$ for what I want. just the draw up will be about 100-200 alone. I want it to count.. im waiting on seeing if i get deployed and where i go before i tat it because i might want to remember that and inc it into it.
