Yeah I’m with the above. Tattoos should only take a few weeks to heal, so missing your favourite sport for a couple of weeks shouldnt be a biggy. Maybe you can go train skills instead of the contact element of your sport:)
To further reiterate the previous statement…
Any major sweating during the healing process isn’t good on your ink.
I’d take it easy for two or three weeks.
Remember:
Only a few weeks of special care and you’ll have a piece of art that will last you a lifetime.
(Well…if you want to really extend the life…you should always keep your inked skin moisturized fairly regularly, but you get the point…)
I work out at the gym 4-5 days a week. But I skip out on that for atleast the first few days. Once its at the peeling stage I go back to working out, but with a loose cut-off shirt so theres no rubbing against the new tat.
My artist said that body sweat is fine, as long as its your own of course, and keep it clean. Right after I work out I take a shower clean it up, and throw some lotion on it.
But like others said you should wait until its healed as your putting on a bunch of equipment and doing major physical activities. Some people heal faster than others, my wife is at two weeks max, while I take nearly 3 weeks to fully heal.
