Hi Martin,
Such a very important video for Tattoo lovers ❤,
Really appreciate 🙏
Thank you for sharing
Hi Martin,
Thank you for the great video and tips, appreciated. I'm doing crossfit and already have 2 new tattoos for which I've used and currently using the black healing balm which helped immensely and after max 3 weeks of rest I went back to training without problem.
I believe it's important to respect your new tattoo like an investment and take care of it properly, in this way you are not only healthy but also have a long lasting piece of art on your skin till being old.
Hav en god dag!
Thanks for your feedback Stefan! We are glad you could use Martin's tips together with our Sorry Mom Balm to ensure a long lasting, vibrant tattoo :) Taking care of a new tattoo is a vital part of getting a tattoo, and you can tell the difference easily between a proper healed tattoo or a bad healed tattoo. We hope you enjoy your new pieces of art and stay healthy!
crossfit = shit :)
I just came across this and great information! I am getting another forearm tattoo and I have to work out because I have depression, anxiety and ptsd so working out is a must now to get out of my head. Thank you for this video!!
Hello Karla, it means a lot to us, that you can use our content! Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Same here, it's a must to workout in our condition, I got my first tattoo Yesterday and came here looking for advice
What exercises do you do on forearm tattoo cause I want to get my full forearm covered but don’t want to miss workout
Thanks for this!
We cannot commment any further because this is the best tip ever.
I have my new tattoo, so this is really a big help for me.
Thank you man.
Thanks for this! Just got an inner forearm tattoo 7 days ago and I am dying to get a workout... I asked my artist twice if I could sneak in a workout after 7 days and he gave me a resounding "no". He also said to workout after 2 weeks, so cheers for confirming this! 🍻
Just got a chest piece one week out, dying for some training 😮💨
@sweetpeasjax I just got a chest piece 2 been working out back legs no and been fine but itching to workout chest it's been 2 weeks and 2 days so far I think I'm fine I just need extra advice
@@ezraezra-yo6ju nice, appreciate ya turns out as long as you don’t end up sweating it won’t sting 💪
Very informative
That video was great! What's your advice on cycling and running after getting the upper leg tattooed?
hello Johannes, as Martin says in the video start slow, let the tattoo/legs rest for about a week and then start from there. Optimal 2 weeks would be even better, we always recommend that you prioritize letting the tattoo rest and heal for as long as possible, but after a week you should be out of the critical stages of the healing process. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I actually did a arm and glute workout before getting a front leg tattoo currently on day 2 got tegaderm on. Might go tomorrow light arm day
Hey Monsieur, congratulation on your new tattoo, if you can wait a bit longer, we recommend that, but if you are going, listen to your body and as you wrote start lightly
hii, thank you for the video, I got s small underbust tattoo yesterday (my first tattoo) and I wanted to go back to working out tomorrow. I will be working legs, so the sweat worries me a little, but I'll be sure to clean the tattoo constantly and drying the sweat off. I'll also use a baggy shirt and avoid bras so I don't have pressure or rubbing on it. Is it still not recommendable to work out taking those things into consideration? thank you
Hi ! I got a new half sleeve tattoo from my shoulder to my elbow and after fully peeled off and ı think healed. 16 days after this tattoo I went to the stadium to watch a crazy match and my arm was very active. and then I played a tough soccer game 24 days after my tattoo I ran a lot. I wondering Will all these activities damage my tattoo? Another thing I'm wondering is, what kind of damage can do moving the tattooed area except healing process, can it ruin the tattoo under the skin? Or does it just delay healing?
Hi Martin!
Really good and clear video, my only question is I just got a forearm tattoo (4 days ago and counting) so can I do lower exercises and some upper exercises or is better that I just wait a little longer? All this in my home btw
Hello Matías! Thank you for liking the video and awesome that you could use it! :) As Martin says in the video, we will recommend you to aviod working out the area with the new tattoo for the first week or even longer (if possible) you can do some cardio or light leg workout but the forearm, is part of most upper body exercises. Most important, listen to your body. Best regards - Sorry Mom
Got a tattoo on my inner forearm 2and a half weeks ago, it’s pretty much past the peeling just a little here and there. Do you think it would be alright to go to the gym with out a long sleeve shirt, can I go back to being sleeveless? Hope that’s makes sense thanks !
Hey, I just got my Bicep tattooed 4 days ago and have a basketball game tomorrow, do you suggest I wear a full sleeve shirt to cover it perhaps? Or maybe just skip the game?
Hey, my large bicep tattoo is in the silver skin stage, I’ve had it for 4 weeks now. There’s a little bit of the sunburn/peeling/dryness at the edge of one part of it. Am I ok to start lifting weights, do intense cardio or wear fitted clothing in the gym?
Hey just found this video, great help! I just got a maori tattoo on my right arm, it's a full sleeve tattoo from the shoulders to 3/4 my bicep(almost to the elbow but not too close). My tattoo was finished on the 11th of September. Should I still avoid training in the area my tattoo was made and if yes for how long?
First up, congratulations with the new tattoo ;) it has only been a few days and under a week, so I would recommend you to wait a few more days, then start light and listen to your body, dont go straight in to lifting heavy or do long workout sessions immediately. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
If you have a new/healing tattoo, just skip the gym for two weeks. Coming from somebody whose obsessed with lifting for the aesthetic and mental wellbeing benefits, the cons outweigh the pros.
For my first half sleeve (forearm), and innerbicep tattoo, I continued working out, and it absolutely healed worse/noticeably more patchy and faded then now where I take a full two weeks off. Especially when your tattoo starts scabbing and drying out, stretching and causing friction in that area with resistance/weights will cause cracking in the skin and when it heals you will clearly see the loss of ink
Two weeks is excessive imo. Just don’t do anything that irritates the newly tattooed area. I started working out a few days after my forearm tattoo. It doesn’t bend or stretch in any way, so working out doesn’t affect it.
I've heard other lifters say that they started working out 1 or 2 days after with no issues. They just make sure to keep extra hydrated and clean.
Is cardio okay tho? I got 2 new tatts on forearms
Bro I can’t wait that much im fokin dying it’s been 5 days since i got tatted 😭😭
I just worked out, not too hard… I still have my second skin on. But I didn’t really stretch the area.
I’m not going again until Monday maybe
Hi! I'm gonna get my elbow done this week. My question is, what's the best way to keep the tattoo from getting ruined since I wear long sleeves for work?
Hello Gabriel! We recommend that you use tattoo film for the first couple of days, after that you should be fine. wear as loose clothes as possible to avoid friction and remember to keep the area moist.
Great video
Thanks!
Got a medium piece on my triceps, how long should I wait before I start bench press and triceps push down?
Great video 👍🏼! I’m getting a thigh/side thigh/butt tattoo on monday. I started weightlifting with my trainer a month ago. Would you recommend me to wait for a minimum 1 week before getting back to squats with weights,hip thrusts, deadlifts, etc..?
Hello Kaycee, I would actually recommend that you wait at least 2 weeks, before doing any "thigh/side thigh/butt" exercises, if you cannot wait that long, Ill recommend you to start slow, light and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi Martin, I just got a big skull tattooed on my thigh it’s been 6 days can I skateboard and if so would pants irritate it more than shorts considering where the seam of shorts is
what would you recommend for a small finger tattoo?
hey there, great video! I just got a tattoo 2 days ago on my upper thigh and have table tennis in a few days. is it still okay for me to go and do that or should i wait longer. it will have been 5 days from when i got it for my session. also, when is it safe for me to go to the beach for when it will definitely get sandy?
Hey Jared!
Being unsure how hard you go on your table tennis it’s hard to say. I think table tennis should be fine, but you should avoid scratching your tattoo agains the table. As for going to the beach and getting sandy I’d recommend waiting till your tattoo is completely healed - minimum a few weeks.
I'm getting my chest done tomorrow but I have a soccer game on Friday and Sunday should I just take the week off or should I play ??
Hi i just got a half sleeve and i work at a warehouse in the refrigerator section lifting heavy boxes of food should i ask for a couple days off or is it okay fro me to go back after 48hrs?
Great video! I just got a relatively small tattoo just above my ankle two days ago. Do you think I’d be good to go play basketball tomorrow?
Hello Neven, the longer you wait regardless the size, the better. However if you listen to your body, wrap it and dont get into any messy situations where you potentially can hurt/scrape the tattoo you might be fine. But if the tattoo gets scraped, it can might effect the way it looks, the rest of you life, so be careful. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey Martin! So i just got a chest tattoo last tuesday, pretty big piece, my artist said i can go to the gym 4 days after my tattoo, the question i have can i do a long cardio session? Im just nervous about all the sweat but he did mention if i do go to wash it right after the gym ? Ur opinion? Thank you!
Hey!!
Thanks for the information. I got my tattoo done 5 days ago. I’m wanting to do hip thrusts tomorrow but my tattoo is done like at the back of my arm - tricep area which will be needed for the bench. Is this fine????
Hey Simran! I would wait 2-3 weeks, so that your body is healed and you dont risk damaging your tattoo! Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
love the video!
I’m getting 3 tattoos next week all in the same day one on my chest under my collarbone , tramp stamp and one on my leg under the knee what do you think i should avoid doing in the gym?
Hello Erna, i would advice you to stay home the next 2-3 weeks, because your body needs to heal and rest. If you use energi on working out, your body does not use the energi to rest and recover. I know it sucks but look at it this way, if you damage your tattoo or get it infected during a workout its gonna effect the result for the rest of your life vs taking 2-3 weeks of at the gym. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I just got a elbow tattoo and a forearm tattoo(both line work style) about 9 days ago, am I okay to bench press again?
I've just had one on my back. How long it take to come back to exercises with barbel, squads or when I lay on my back while hip trust?
Hi there! It will highly depend on the exact placement. However, we wouldn't recommend laying on your new tattoo for the first 2 weeks. Our recommendation would be to find alternative exercises to your routine until the tattoo is healed and ready to roll again :)
Love this video. What about a tattoo on a hand? Especially then when it comes to lifting any weights?
Hey Daniel, yes your need to be careful with hand tattoos. Hand tattoos often need a retouch anyways because most people use their hands for work every day. So by working out while they are healing does not add to the healing process it takes away. I would wait at least 2-3 weeks if it was hands tattoos. Jacob - Team Sorry mom
Thank you I will definitely be careful!
Would you say its OK to weight train on day 5 as iv just had a head tattoo done last Thursday. I'd put a aftercare cream on for extra protection .but I'd bath at home not at that the gym. When is it safe to not have to wrap my head tattoo for bed please . Thank u
I just got a forehand portrait tattoo on my right hand. can I just do cardio after 1 week later please I need an answer ???
Hello probably not going to get a response.
I just got a tattoo on my upper left arm. Biceps.
I was just wanting to shoot a little basketball. Just an hour per day. You think that's ok?
Btw i got my tattoo on Thursday. It's Tuesday now.
I know the germ thing is a big one, but what if my artist uses saniderm? The tattoo is covered to avoid any contamination.
I got my kneecap done, can I train arms the day after?
ive had my chest tattoo for 5 days i was doing bench press an didnt know but is it okay if workout the other parts of my body as long as i dont do chest
Hi! I'm getting a tattoo on my ankle. Will I be able to actually do cardio two days later (running and dancing) , or should I wait until it's healed? Awesome vid!
Hi Leslie! We'd recommend you wait at least 2-3 days at the very least. However, since you are getting tattooed on your ankle and you want to run and/or dance, you should definitely wait till it's completely healed (if you want to avoid any risks) . I hope this helped!
I have just gotten more work done on my arm and it almost a full sleeve. I plan on taking 6-7 days off from the gym but I do work a physical job outside (I wear long sleeves) but after the week could I go back to squats and other lifts like bench and deadlift as long as I'm not rubbing the area?
Hello Marcus, I would wait an extra week, if possible. The longer you wait, the better result you will get. The most important thing is that you listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Great video! I’m getting a tattoo on my shoulder and arm and also going under my collarbone. I wear tight sport bras as I need the support, this will be over my tattoo on my shoulder and collarbone, would this be ok if I way 3-4 days after? I workout at home.
@Sorry Mom Tattoo hey man great vid! I just got a tattoo on the side of my neck, would I be able to break a sweat? Wrap still on, in about 15 hours I can remove it
Hello Shaun, We recommend that you go easy the next couple of days, and if you can avoid working out, that would be the best for your new tattoo :)
i got a tattoo 8 days ago, got it in my left arm, is playing soccerr allowed on the 8 days afterwards since my tattoo is on my arm and playing soccer with my foot?
Thanks for the Video. I am planing to get a Maori tattoo on my chest/shoulder/arm. Since it will be quite large, i have 6 appointments all 1 week apart from each Other. How am i supposed to train my chest and shoulders? I cant stop 6 weeks that will feel live i have to start all over again :/ Pls help
Hello! first of, if you are getting tattooed for 6 weeks you also need to take some time after to recover, so it might be more like 8 - 10 weeks before working out. You can do some different things like working out "VERY LIGHT" before each tattoo session to maintain your strength, so you wont progress but then you at least not loose any strength. You can focus on going for long walks/leg workouts (Still light). But in the end you need to thing about your tattoo and it is going to be on your body forever. So it might be a though one to swollow but I think you should wait the 8-10 weeks. Jacob - Sorry Mom
Hi there! i'm thinking to get a tattoo on my forearm. Do i need to stop working out even though i rest for 48 hours after getting the tattoo? I've been at the gym for 2 months. and is it also okay to workout at home for abs and cardio after getting a tattoo on my forearm? can you please answer for me? it would help me in great deals. Thank you in advanced
I have tattoo on my right Elbow now its been more than 5 weeks (38 Days) So can i go to gym and Lift Heavy Weight is it effect my tattoo or it is Ok to continue it ?
I got my neck done Thursday it’s 4 days can I go workout now ?
Well it's been like 5 days since, on my upper right arm, but I really can't wait weeks, could I plausibly have an Arm day workout without ruining it ?
Hello! Most times you will be fine, however this video is about the chance that you get an infection, scratch the tattoo or something else happens. So you need to ask yourself, will you be okay and able to live with yourself if you permanently damage your new tattoo? Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
Its been a week since I got mine and its small on my forearm
Thanks for the informative video. I got a tattoo on my wrist area, a minimal one. Its been 2 weeks ans the scabbing is going on. Can i di, core, ab and cardio exercises in full swing? I can skip the weights a little longer.
Hello Vinita, your tattoo should be almost healed by now and not scabbing any longer. If your tattoo is still scabbing we would recommend you to wait a week or 2 longer, since the body need rest to heal the tattoo as fast as possible. if i misunderstood and its done scabbing you should be fine. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo Thanks a lot! Seems it was scabbing then and the last drop fell off today. So guess, it's a good time for the gym now.
I'm planning on getting a four arm tattoo and I can wear short sleeve but is it bad to sweat where the tattoo is or any advice you can give me I work at a recycling center so I don't work to hard but sometimes there is busy days
Hello Lorenzo, Getting a forearm tattoo should be fine. Everybody sweats and what Martin is saying, is that you should avoid sweating/working out the first couple of weeks, if you can avoid it. However if you can´t avoid i sweating just pay attention to the tattoo, keep it clean and you should be fine. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I’m getting my shoulder done today, can I do legs for the next two days and then hit lights shoulder after 48 hrs. And should I cover it up with something and with what so I don’t get bacteria in the gym on my tattoo?
Hello Roberto! We here at sorry mom would recommend you to wait a bit longer, and start up light. but if you cant wait cover it with cling film or something like that and wear lose cloths so it do not get friction from the cloths. So in short if you can wait a bit longer you dont have to cover it up, you just need to wear lose cloths. Always remember to keep it clean aswell! // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi, i just got my spine tattooed on friday, when i can start working out again and lifting weights? Using barbell. or should i stick to dumbbell workouts ?
Hello Valerie, i would wait 2-3 weeks and see how the tattoo is feeling, then i would start slow and with low weights, listen to the body and work my way back from their. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Im getting a tattoo tomorrow and it's clashing with my workout routine. NOw, mind you, I've been trying to get serious about lifting for decades and I'm finally getting there so as you can inderstand, I'm really dreading the idea of having to stop working out for weeks just because of the tattoo which I'm getting regardless. Are the 48 hours really enough?
Just go a tattoo on the right side of my belly, not that big. After 7 days i tried to warm up and immediately after swating a little it started to hurt a bit but mainly itching. So as it is now i really have to wait those 2 weeks :/
Hello Rangandi, It seems so, but at least you listened to your body which always is a good idea! So just try to relax as much as possible and go back when you feel you are ready. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Getting my outer forearms done and my right wrist done in a couple days nothing huge but decently sized would three days off be good?
Hello Amani, the size and placement does not matter that much, when we are talking aftercare. Of cause there is more skin/surface to affected. Therefore we always recommend to wait 2-3 weeks. We are talking about a few weeks vs the rest of your life. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
So I got a tatoo on my 4arm 2 days got should I be ok to go back and do my cardio vascular exercise treadmill biking ex
Hello! you can but we recommend you to wait a bit longer, at least a week, then start slow, light and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
hello from france !! thanks for this video but i will ask : i have a small tattoo on the rib and another small one behind my arm (above my elbow and these are numbers for both) can i work my legs and buttocks as well as my abs?!
my tattoos were produced on december 18 at 10:30 a.m !!
Hello Léa! if you have not started working out yet you can start now :) But start slow and listen to your body! Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I went to a sauna whilst one of my tattoos was peeling and of course loads of skin came off. It felt great and the end result looks amazing. Not sure if I'm lucky though!
Hey Joe, we would not recommend you go to a sauna, however its good to hear, that nothing happened,. but in the future, if you are getting more tattoos, consider waiting until you are done with the healing period. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
im gettin a font tattoo in about 2/3 days around my chest area under my collar bone, but i have a basketball game the day after, do you think it is safe if i play?
Hey Hansen, we always recommend that you do as little cardio/workout as possible for the first week because you can risk getting an infection in your new tattoo.
Hi Martin!
I got a thigh piece not too big just a couplr line work is it okay to workout upperbody like arms or back only after 24 hours? Or is that too soon?
Hello Jesse, Your body does not care about the size of the tattoo :) the first couple of days are crucial for the future of your tattoo. If you accidental damage your tattoo, get something in it etc. you risk infection, blowout or loss of ink pigments, its not worth it. Thats why we recommend you to wait around 2 weeks. However, you can after a couple of days start some light workout and as you said, within a week you can workout upper body as normalish. The most important thing, is that you listen to your body. A side note is, that you want your tattoo to heal as fast as possible, if you workout, your body needs to spend energy on recovering from that as well, so the more you do, potential the longer it takes the tattoo to heal. I hope this make sense to you. If you have other questions, we are happy to answer them as well. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey.. so I have a question.. I just recently am going on my second day with my new tattoo on my neck.. but I don’t do any workouts including the neck.. today I am suppose to start my workout with chest and legs.. can I do that?? Or not? Please give me advice..
Hello Joshua, as our good friend & colleague Martin says in the video, we recommend you to wait as long as possible, atleast two weeks. If you cannot wait that long start slow, light and listen to your body. Jacob - Sorry Mom Tattoo
If you want to play basketball after the fresh tatt should you wait a week or 2 after. Or can you play it like a couple days after but try not to sweat
Hey! i would wait a couple of weeks, so the tattoo is settled more in the skin. If you fall in this very crucial period, you risk permanent damaging the tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
I have a question about sweat because I workout outdoors and it is very humid where I live and I’ve been working out with my new tattoo for 2 days and have been getting very sweaty. Is this bad or is this fine as long as I clean it before and after working out?
We recommend you to wait around 2 weeks so that the tattoo/body can rest and heal, that way you avoid potential infection or damaging the tattoo permenent. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Okay,so I got a forearm tattoo on my outer forearm and my artist told my it's ok to train upper body after 5 day.(I have weights at home)I am on day 6 and I'm dying to train upper body.What to do?
Hello Chrysa, we here at sorry mom, always advice that you wait 2-3 weeks, especially the bodypart where you got the tattoo. As we see it, its a lifetime of your tattoo vs working out a couple of weeks, so therefore we want the tattoo to heal as best as possible. so wait 2-3 weeks then start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi! I have a 1.5 inch tattoo on my ribcage. Can i workout my lower body- squats, deadlifts, hamstring streteches etc?
Hello Luna, the body does not care about the size of the tattoo. You can often get away with more with a little tattoo because, they heal more often, but most of the fall groups does not revolve around size. You need to think about are you gonna create friction etc. i would pro wait a weeks time even 2 because if you damage your tattoo in this stage, it can be permenet. However you should be fine if you just listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
With a freash big tattoo on the center bag, is it fine for me to do some light grabling 5 days after?
Hello William, i would wait a week or two, the tattoo is going to be on your body for the rest of your life. By grabling you risk scraping your back/tattoo on the floor and mess it up for good. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
how bout if you play organize basketball. because i’m thinking of getting 2 small tattoos by my forearm and another on my finger
Hello TJ, Your tattoos do not care about which level of sports you play on, one can argue the more intense you train, the more chance you have to mess up the tattoo. You need to think about it like this: the more you rest the faster your tattoo heal, you want your tattoo to heal as fast as possible. If you work out you slow down the proces and the healing period becomes longer. You also risk damaging the tattoo which could be a permanent. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey, I’m about to get my entire dominate forearm done. How long would I have to wait before I can start playing badminton again? Thx
Hello we recommend 2-3 weeks :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Does it matter if the tattoo is big or small? I’m getting a small tattoo on my wrist and I wanna know if going for a run is still possible
Hello Steve, the size dos not matter, you still have the risk of an infection, but light cardio after a couple of days should not be a problem - Sorry Mom
Getting a tattoo on the back of my leg so no gym for 2 days and shower at home will I need to cover tattoo in shower thanks
Hello, we recommend that you keep steady for at least 2 weeks before starting working out again. However if you need to go to the gym, yes shower at home, wear loose cloths so your tattoo does not get friction. Also start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Sorry Mom Shop
this is my 13th tattoo and see these videos after every one😭
Hey I got a forearm tattoo
After how long should I workout
And is there any particular exercise I should avoid?
Hello Jishnu, we recommend that you wait at least 2 weeks, then start slow and listen to your body. Avoid working out with heavy weights at the beginning where you got the tattoo and take it from there. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Bro I did calf tattoo on leg..nt big but medium one...so tmmw my tattoo getting one week completed..so can I go to play football on beach or either grass?
Hello, the problem with playing football is, that you risk hitting the tattoo, which can affect the final result if you get it scratch up. So ill recommend that you wait a week or 2. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I’m getting my inner bicep done in a few days. After I wait 2 days, would I be fine to workout and what type of workouts would I want to avoid?
idk man i got my bicep dont yesterday without thinking about it, now im about to go hit chest the next day lmaoooo oops
Yea u can , jus skip back /bis for w week
A week *
Is it wrong to wrap Saran Wrap around it before going to the gym ? Or Does it need to breathe during that time
The area around your new tattoo needs to breathe. However if the tattoo is still as fresh that it needs wrap, we will not recommend you go to the gym. Sorry Mom
Wrist tattoos, I do longboarding and I have to wear sliding gloves, which are really tight at the wrist, what do you guys advice, when can I start using gloves again, is 2 or 3 weeks enough? the same could be said about wearing a watch, thanks in advance.
Thanks for the question Carlos! We advice you to wait as long as possible both with the gloves and the watch, so if you have the opportunity to wait 3 even 4 weeks that would be optimal. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo Thanks a lot.
hey mate, its been a week since getting a tattoo on my leg, would you recommend training on my bike I usually put over 50 miles per ride. cheers
Hello! i recommend, that you wait an extra week, just to be safe! Nothing is properly going to happen, however we are talking a week extra of time of vs a potential infection or something like that. Jacob - Team Sorry mom⚓
Can we work out after 7 days after a tattoo? Or is it not adviced? I mean the pain is gone, but the ink seems new
Hey, just got a neck tattoo, it’s decently small, and is covered in fake skin for the next two days any recommendations on what I can do as far as weightlifting for the next couple days?
Did you wait? I’m about to get the same thing.
What about a wrist tattoo ? Can still hit the gym! + my tattoo is wrapped with a tape and my tattoo artist told me to skip the gym for a week 😫! Bcz heat and sweat can tear the tape. So what should I do😫
Hey! regardless where the tattoo is placed or the size of it, a tattoo is an open wound and that means that it can get infected. Thats why we recommend that you wait around a week (or longer), start slow, listen to your body and have extra focus on hygiene. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I have basketball coming up and im getting a tattoo during the season how do i work with that ?
Hello Colin. Getting a tattoo while active in sports is never ideal. However you just have to, pay attention to the area, rest as much as possible and try to get it in continuation of some days of. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi, I’m getting a tattoo on my rib cage next week Friday. Can I go back to doing CrossFit on Tuesday?
Hello S, I would skip the next two weeks and then start slow and listen to your body. In crossfit you use the torso a lot. Your body needs rest so the "wounded area" can heal faster, we dont wanna extent the healing period. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Man, waiting so many days to workout is hard, but the tattoo is definitively worth it.
haha! I feel you, but i also totally agree! 2-3 weeks for taking it easy vs a lifetime of a cool tattoo is worth it! Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Righttt!
Hi guys, I got 3 small tattos on my forearm last week, should I wait longer to practice yoga or am I safe now?
Hello! Depending on how the tattoo is healing, you should be fine, we recommend everybody to start slow and work your way back within a weeks time :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi Martin! I am getting a tattoo in 2 weeks. I am also a football player. How long do I have to wait to play football after getting my tattoo
Hi Brian!
We would recommend you wait 2 weeks before resuming any high intensity activity. However, it will depend on the placement. Let's put it this way: the more likely the tattooed area is to be in contact with your clothing and/or teammates (or opponents), the more you should wait.
We hope this helped!
I got my tattoo on 3/11. I haven't done any upper body workout because I got tatted on my chest shoulders and upper arms. My tattoo is in the peeling stage. Can I get back to it now?
Hello James, listen to your body, i would wait another week, maybe you can do lower body/cardio for now. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Will I be okay if I did only one 1 hour workout 48 hours after? I got one on my bicep n I did a workout for my chest (3 different types of bench press) bicep curls and a tricep workout. Will I be okay? I didn’t realize that it would stretch it. I didn’t feel any pain and from this point on I’m just gonna take a break from the gym.. my tattoo seems to be the same..
You will be fine, for sure!
hayy i am getting a tattoo on my hip in few weeks and i have ice skating practice five times a week what should i do?
Hello Duru, Take some time off if possible two weeks would be optimal, but if thats out of the picture at least a couple of days. Start slowly and listen to the body and progress from there :) // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Today is Sunday, I got a side calf tattoo Friday(48hrs)- it has saniderm over it... how safe for the tattoo is it to walk on the treadmill for a couple hours
Hello Justin, We here at sorry mom are not product experts on other brands tattoo products. However I assume saniderm helps protect the tattoo from dirt etc. But your tattoo and body needs rest to heal faster, the more activities you do, the longer healing process you are going to have, which we do not want. therefore we here at sorry mom recommend that you relax the first two weeks at least and after that start slow, listen to your body and take it from there.

Bruh yes u can walk on the treadmill 😂
Hi, i had a new tattoo on my calf.
Can i go play soccer after like a week or so.
If yes, what precautions should i take..?
It depends on how the tattoo heals up during that first week.. I have done it with great results myself, but I have also messed up my new tattoo by playing soccer with a fresh tattoo. Just make sure to take good care of it
Hey can I start working out faster if my forearm tattoo is covered in sanaderm fully?
Hello David, we here at Sorry Mom ar not specialists in sanaderm, however we dont recommend you start working out the first two weeks regardless of which product you use, since the area and body needs rest and time to heal. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey! Thanks for the video! I just got my elbow done? Do you think I should wait a few days? Or can I go now? :)
Hey Charris. You should definitely wait a couple of days, especially since it is on your elbow. If you can't wait we recommend that you focus more on the legs the next couple of days :)
@@SorryMomTattoo awesome thank you! I’ll give it the rest of the week and start Monday! Cheers!! :)
I recently got a forearm tattoo, would i be okay if i hit push or pull workouts?
How did it go for you? I just got a forearm tat about medium size and I can’t go 3 days without lifting.
my tattoo is exactly 1week now, can i go to gym ??
hii! I have a new tattoo on my ankle, can I run with it after two weeks? Or should I wait longer?
Hello Christie, we would advice you to wait at least 2-4 weeks, since the angle is getting a lot of movement while running. Best regards Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey! I play basketball, i train everyday and I’m planning to get a tattoo, how long should I wait to practice again after?
I am not that guy in the video but what I would do is wait for three to four days and then start exercising again with a cling wrap covering your new tat for the duration of your training. Once you finish practice, take off the cling wrap and take a soapy shower. Never use the same cling wrap twice
Hey Agustin! avoid working out the first week, as much as possible, by waiting you avoid the risk of getting an infection and your tattoo will get a better result! If you can't wait a full week use Martins advice in the video and wear loose cloths and makes sure to propper clean your tattoo using neutral products. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
