The biggest thing with the tattoo is keeping it clean and healthy.
If you’re not going to sweat to much (as in doing a massive session) it should be ok, but personally I’ve always waited a minimum of a week sometimes two before I get back into things.

Mostly because I want the tattoo to heal and be as crisp as possible, but also because I tend to scab a little as I heal so would rather wait till that’s sorted than inflict it on my training partners or randoms at the gym.

I took two weeks away from muay thai after my latest tattoo.
Being covered in sweat, shirt rubbing and possibly dropping skin everywhere (if you flake up when healing) isn’t ideal for a tattoo or for your training partners.

Take at least a week, unless you are training for competition in the near future.
A week won’t hurt your training.

Can’t learner restrictions otherwise I would.
Yamaha is the biggest cruiser I can get for two years.

If I had only got a bike license when I got a car license it would be all good.

Hello and welcome. You’re right tattoos are beyond addictive. Feel free to post up some pics or a description of your current tattoo 🙂

I have fairly large lettering on the inside of my bicep and the only section that was a little annoying was up close to my armpit.
It wasn’t really that painful (but so far I haven’t thought any of my tats that bad), it does come down to the individual though.

Based on GrayCatLove’s rating of 4/10 for me it was probably closer to around 3/10 until near the armpit then it got to maybe a 4.5/10
