Gym

[RipleyandHicks]

Is it safe to go to the gym after having a tattoo, on week ago?
Should I cover it up with a protective shield like Saniderm? Or just leave it be.
One is on my forearm and the other, on the top of my back.
Thank you

Pretty sure it’s fine. I teach fitness classes and was teaching the day after I had a tattoo if I remember correctly. Did the tattoo artist give you aftercare instructions?

Hi lovely,

Not really. Its been years since I had my last one, so I can't really remember. I know you shouldn't sweat too much, but im wondering what machines to avoid, so.i dont stretch or pull the tattooed skin. Xx

They really should have given you a sheet of information to take away and read- that’s good practice and probably a legal requirement.

But anyway, I Googled and this is what the internet says. Hope you enjoy your workout 🙂
