L2DB Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 So I'm getting my inner bicep done this afternoon.... going to be out of workout commission for a little while (obviously) so I'm wondering if I can go before my appointment without there being any issues getting the tattoo. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 not in my opinion - I always like to get a good workout in prior as I know I will be inactive for a few days after - IMO it relaxes me as well - I cant see the downside though maybe I'm missing something...

L2DB Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yeah, I'm more thinking about a possibly fatigued muscle and the area then going through the tattoo process. I might just take it easier on arms than I would otherwise. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Years Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No problem at all in my experience. I've done some tough workouts the day-of and been no worse for wear. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I always hit the gym before getting a tattoo if I have time- although I don't work out hard enough to worry much about muscle fatigue. Just be sure to hit the shower in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado6 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I was going to say shower too - because you do not want any of that creeping gym crud anywhere near your tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissor Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Personally, I'd go easy on the arms so they're not extra sore! And definitely shower post workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 When I was getting my back tattooed, I did a solid workout and ate a healthy big meal before every session. Except one...which was the most agonizing of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cork Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Workout the day of, sure. Suffer from DOMS on the day of, not recommended. I had really bad upper back soreness on the day of one of my sessions, it was one of the worst. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 sorry for offtop but i dont want a make mess in topics...Whats is the situation after tattoos? Train at gym or forgive for 3 to 4 weeks? A lot of variables. Very location and size dependent. Go with what feels right. If it doesn't hurt, go lift! If you're getting your back done, I wouldn't recommend heavy bench at all. Or even light bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludlow Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Happiness from a new T makes as stronger, or sometimes stupid :P so it wil be better to choise a short pause at the gym, than train like a fuckin mr Olympia ;) Ps. Tattoo will be on the abs Pa 2. Sorry for my English, I'm rookie :) Cork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
