MoistTowelette 358 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 hey guys, just wondering if i can get an opinion real quick. i got my foot tattooed in what will be 3 weeks ago this coming up Wednesday and while most of it has FINALLY stopped peeling, some places (like the side of my foot near the heel) are still peeling like crazy. i usually play some pretty intense basketball 2 or 3 times a week and i haven't been able to play in almost a month (since i also got more work done on my back a few days before getting my foot done). so my question is, would it be ok to play basketball, or wait until the foot stops fully peeling? i never had a peel this long, most of my peels stop in about a week and 10 days at most. i am getting so restless not being able to play basketball. thanks.

marley mission 2,034 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 whats your primary concern are you concerned with the tattoo getting messed up my gut would be that its on ya now and the full healing could still be awhile to go i'd say go play ball and see how it goes i'm currently healing my shin - coming up on 4 weeks and its taking its sweet time but its summer and i love to bodysurf - so fuck it thing is since the art lives on your body anything can happen to it gotta live though and enjoy curious to see some other feedback MoistTowelette 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistTowelette 358 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah my main, and only, concern is if there is still a chance that I can mess up the tattoo or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Years 631 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think you should be in the clear. I was pretty physical while healing my foot tattoos only a few days after. They did take forever to finally settle, but they came out just fine. MoistTowelette 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidjones 616 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 As a lad from Kentucky, I have to ask where your priorities lie. Is ANYTHING more important than basketball? Good socks, maybe some nice micro fiber ones, should protect you. Be aware and if you feel a problem take a look. MoistTowelette 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltattooing 765 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think you're safe. Feet take extra long to heal because they are farthest away from the heart and blood oxygenation isn't the best by the time your circulation gets to those parts. I think if you don't have any major scabs, you'll be fine. JAllen, marley mission and MoistTowelette 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
