How long after a tattoo to workout?

[twister2001]

I'm getting my first tattoo on my back today, and was wondering how long it will be before i can workout again? also, are you able to keep up cardio?

also, do you have any tips to heal the tattoo faster?

cheers

As soon as its scabbed over you shoould be fine..

im a tattooist, and i get tattooed every week pretty much (working on a major peice), Mine dont scab anymore because i know what im doing to take care of them. The same day or next is fine.

Its the same pretty much as a rug burn. Just dont let it scab.

tattooes do not have to scab, put ozonol on twice a day, NO MORE, wipe off excess

I want to get a tat but im afraid that it will stretch, as i am no where near my max size yet. Im allready 230 pounds, (108 kg's) would it be ok to get one now?

Well I got a couple tats on my shoulders when I was a teeneager & I was very skinny. They pretty much coverd my entire shoulder & they were centered, the only difference is that they are now uncentered & don't cover my shoulder, they look much smaller. I am more concerned about getting one now then when I get older & am not as big, will they be all wrinkled up? I need some coverups done on the ones I just mentioned painly, anywhere near Cinci?

work out asap.

I worked out right after i got a huge tribal around my whole arm literally 3 hours after i got it and i had an amazing pump i lifted a shit load of weight. it must have been because of the pain every time my arm hit my chest i pushed the weights up with amazing force. was a great workout. thats just my experience though maybe ur is a little different because its on ur back.

i'm 2 sittings into a 3 sitting half sleeve.and brother the last sitting was the first color sitting.let me fuckin tell you!!! after 6 hours of color especially on top of the bicep my arm was fuckin dog meat!!!!!!!!! i couldn't bend it at all! and NO its not my first tat so don't think i'm whining!! i guess to answer your Q , it depends on what it is ,where it is and how long you sat for, and your tolerance to pain. tattoos are the shit!!!!!!!!
