Arrrgh, can’t get ahold of my artist this morning to ask, and I really want to go to jiu jitsu class.

Tattoo is six days old. Artist told me to wait a week before going back to jiu jitsu. Tat is scabby… none of my other tattoos scabbed at all, but this one is on the ribs, and the area just never stops moving. Even when I’m just sitting still, the area is moving because I’m breathing. I think that’s why it didn’t heal up quite as quick/well. Just showered, and got a few small blood flecks going among the scabs.

If I go to class this morning, I will definitely sweat/rub the scabs off. It’s a white tattoo, so I’m particularly anxious about messing it up. Opinions? Do I need to wait till the scabs fall off? 🙁

Thanks.
