Training after a Tattoo

Hello,

Probably this week I’ll be getting my second tattoo, but I want to know if I can train the very next day I get it or if I have to wait a couple of days?

Thanks!

just dont submerge it in water for a week, so other than swimming you should be ok, but clarify with your artist before too.

I have no clue, but if submerging it in water would be bad, then sweating like a pig has got to be worse for the ink.

I went to the tattoo shop and the guy told me that I can’t go to the pool for 2 weeks, but I can train the next day :P…

I was told the same thing when I got my tattoo. My coach told me that I could swim by putting vaseline over the tattoo and then putting a badge over it. She had done that a few times and she hadn’t had any problems. I didn’t want to risk it and just didn’t swim for about 3 weeks. I did put a bandage or handkerchief over the tattoo for about a month. I was told to keep it out of the sun while it heals, but you can’t put sunscreen on it, either. I was training within a day or two of getting mine and it was fine.
