Tattoo/Working Out

[Cavy kidd]

I just got a tattoo and i was wondering how long i should wait to work out

I'd wait for it to heal too bro. I didn't wait and no I have a fat stretch mark where there WAS some nice coloring. That second layer of skin is pretty tender after getting a tat and that's where the stretch mark happens (I'm pretty sure).

I've worked out w/fresh tatti's before and never bothered me...only thing...i usually didn't work the body part i had the tatti on the day after i got the tatti.

Me either...and I never had a problem. Mine is on my lower back and I was able to bench and do abs without a problem.

I think it's going to depend on the location of it. You don't want to go stretching it out and breaking the scab over it..that will mess up your color. If you can work around it, go for it, just be careful.

I have one in the same spot...I kept working out...but I also made sure that for about two weeks after I got it that it was continually moist...buy some Bag Balm and put a li'l on...just make sure to wipe the benches, that shit'll get all over...

thought thats why u use a lot of lotion on a new tattoo....to keep it from scabbing up?? Mine didn't really scab at all...i just kept lotion on them 24/7

As long as it you don't rip the scabs off of it, i would think you should be fine. I don't really remember how long i waited.
