Working Out With A New Tattoo

[Kade W.]

When is it safe to start working out with a new tattoo? I have a tattoo on my inner forearm, pretty big, which is now 5 days old. It’s reaching the scanning stage and the very early stages of peeling. 

Am I okay to resume working out now or should I wait longer?

I don’t let it stop me at all.
Go get it!!!

Just remember to keep it super clean.

Ok, so I got tattooed last night and didn’t go to the gym today....I guess I lied. Lol

That's my thought too. Sweat sure wouldn't hurt anything... everybody else's bacteria would.

I don't go for a few days after I get tattooed. I do HIIT, and we're on the floor a lot. Gross.
