need advice to any tattooed gym goers
can you still go to the gym whilst you have a fresh tattoo that is healing?
It's fine as long as you aren't one of those people who sweat like a horse.
Also depending on the area, you should avoid doing lifts that would stretch it too much for example if you had your sides tatted don't do hanging leg raises etc.
Most people would recommend that type of care just for 24 hours after getting it done, but I take 72 just to be on the safe side.

>tattooed
the only place you should be going is a mass grave, or an anti-trump protest

Not worth it. Give it a week to heal at the very least.
give it a week OP
dont want it getting infected
use bactidol on it to speed up the recovery process

Sure as long as you're not doing anything that touches the tattoo. Use bapanthen cream and it'll stop it scabbing up.
I never used cream and my tattoos always scabbed up; and then my tattooist told me to use bepanthen multiple times a day and it never scabbed up at all; it healed nice and colorful too.
Just a shame it was a fucking shit ugly tattoo that I regret.

i'd say depends if you sweat on that area

you people are so weird about tattoos. once the topic comes up you immediately become violent. seek professional help for such a trigger
The best thing i've found is to take maybe 3 days off. It is an open wound and you do risk infection, but no more than going to work or something. The main thing you want to avoid is the stretching/pump to avoid any scarring or weirdness.
The tattoo will be on you forever, don't mess it up by thinking you need to lift right away.
