Writing Tattoos on Feet
how long should i wait for my tattoo to heal?
okay so ive read a lot of different stuff on how long i should wait before i start doing things like going to the gym again. i got my tattoo 4 days ago and i know its not that close to being healed. ive read different stories about tattoos on the foot and all that but i have mine on my chest and its writing so how long should i wait before i can do activities where i sweat a lot like running and going to the gym?
most artist recommend you wait about a week to let it heal before activities like that. not only could your sweat possibly affect the way the colors look in the finished product, but the stress on your skin from strenuous activities from stretching, etc. could crack your scab, and that might cause it to heal with imperfections.
however, ive gone and mowed the lawn the same day i got my tat worked on, and its healed up beautifully. (i live in florida, so i sweat my butt off when i mow the lawn) most importantly, you should avoid pool water or sea water for about two weeks and continue to moisturize your new tattoo until its healed.
