Tattoos and training

[bonacris]

How long do you guys wait before returning to training after getting new ink?

I don't wait at all. Why wait? I might have to change up some workouts, so I'm not hitting or rubbing the new art work. But there's no need to take time off.

Trust me, im covered in ink

I was back in the gym the next morning, if your artist is good it won't matter that much...just try not to sweat too much in the area, keep it moist with antibiotic ointment first few days then nonfragrant lotion, and you will be fine. My guy is so good that I never scab...EVER!

No waiting for me. Only thing I'd be careful about is if I worked out in a gym (I work out at home), I'd be extra-sure the pads on machines are sterilized. I know too many people who got MRSA at the gym. Any kind of cuts, scrapes, or new tats contacted surfaces with bacteria at the gym, are open to catch it.

i dont scab what so ever but i usually plan on getting tatted before my 2 days off from the gym. usually not to bad either way really, but when i got my 2nd sitting on my ribs it hurt so bad i was drained for a couple days. i dont recommend getting your second sitting 10 days after the first. still too raw
