I skipped my diddylift day today because of deciding to go ahead and get a fairly small tattoo.
I figured not going to the gym right after getting it would be common sense.
How much should I avoid physical training including strenght training and contact sports after getting a fresh tattoo?
dyel tattoo artist guy said at least 5-7 days, random articles on the internet include from not doing it in the next 48 hours to one week - 10 day
how do you guys go about physical training after getting inked?
the tattoo is on the inside of the arm

I'd listen to the tattoo artist, he probably knows what's best.
Chill on it until it's healed and you're getting flakes. If you go in while its still raw your sweat WILL fuck up the ink and stretch the tattoo

>getting a tattoo
Not gonna make it
you should probably just drop training all together
Just wait another 20-30 years and you'll see all the people who jumped on the tattoo trend working at gas stations and emptying garbage cans in office buildings. Idiots.
By then, age and gravity will have caught up with them and the chick with the chest piece will be looking run down and used up while she rings up your order at Arby's. Such a free spirit in her 20's, now she has a raspy voice from smoking/drinking for decades and her bleach blonde hair is frayed and the root color is coming through at the scalp. Her skin is saggy and leathery and her ear lobes are like deflated tires because she stretchied them and Arby's corporate won't let her wear plugs. At 43, she'll claim discrimination and complain to her teenage co-workers on her way out the back exit to take an unscheduled smoke break.
Meanwhile, at 45, her ex-boyfriend with sleeve tattoos and facial piercings will have a gigantic beer gut, a year's worth of beard growth, and wears Chuck Taylors and still has a wallet chain. His tattoos that used to express his personality so well have faded and expanded as he gained weight, plus years of sun from outside labor have turned his skin into a darkened, wrinkly mess. He looks every bit of 60 at 45. The kids at work see his tattoos and stretched ear lobes and think "man, that guy must have been pretty cool about 20 years ago." Every night after work, he stops at the gas station and buys a 12-pack of Natty Ice and drinks himself into oblivion in his shitty studio apartment he's lived in for the past 9 years. In his daily drunken stupor, he wonders where it all went wrong. He wakes up with the usual hangover and prays that his 1974 Bronco will start up so he can get to work at the warehouse on time.

You're a cookie cutter you should just stop lifting all together

Why? It's not affecting anything other than your autism
The only acceptable tattoo in my opinion is your blood type on the arm pits

I couldn't agree more, and I have 1 small tat on my foot. Never getting another.
This poster is 100% right

>all those "no fun allowed" fags trying to discourage OP from getting a tattoo
Just wait few days. Let your tattoo breathe a lot, keep it covered with any cream the artist tells you to use. If it heals cleanly, you can continue training. I wouldn't recommend contact sports until the tattoo is covered in new layer of skin.
