Tattoo/Workouts
Getting a few tats on my left-arm on Wednesday. Getting the outline done, then 2 weeks later getting the colour done. I don't wanna not workout for a month. I obviously understand if I can't lift weights, but what can I do, if anything to keep fit and stop the tattoo fornicating up?

Re: Tattoo/Workouts
Obviously if you feel the need for tattoos then you're nit hard enough for the information available in this forum.

I'd leave it 2 weeks , i do cycle the day after a tattoo, and that includes a few on my stomach, just keep them wrapped up, and i use hemoroid cream on my tats, as that bepanthen can ruin clothes.Dioufy wrote:Getting a few tats on my left-arm on Wednesday.

Cheers, buddy.
Got ot done today in fact, so going to leave it a few days and do HIIT training. I don't think sweating will harm the tattoo.

Re: Tattoo/Workouts
I train straight after all of my tattoos, and the colour/lines are still perfect. I don't grapple in a gi for a few days, as I don't want to rub the tattoo with something so abbrasive in the first couple of days.... but there's no reason you shouldn't train at all. Just put plenty of Bepanthen on it, and tape cling film over - and then make sure you wash properly after training. Cardio and lifting wouldn't be an issue in the slightest.
Re: Tattoo/Workouts
I'm hopIng to have ink done for my Xmas present, would you recommend just no-gi for a week then?
Re: Tattoo/Workouts

Here is it before it got coloured.

Cool... have you gone on the inside of the arm too for the whole sleeve? What have you put in for shading (wind/water bars etc?)Dioufy wrote:Just got mine coloured. Will start training again next week.

Re: Tattoo/Workouts
Yeah, it wraps around the inside of my arm. And it's in black and grey and you have the dragon, lotus flower and cresantermum (or whatever), with smoke filling in any seeable flesh.
