First of all congratulations on the new tattoo, I really like the idea and it looks cool.

Well, it depends how much contact if it all you got in the workout. You don't want anything to touch it other than your clothes, so do the math yourself. 

There is no problem at all with working out as long as you keep the tattoo as clean as possible, but if you gonna take punches from someone else that's something else and you shouldn't be going there for about a month.

I'd pass and enjoy the day off. You'd be pissed if you got a giant bruise on the new piece.

yeh ive never worked out after any of my tattoos before so wasnt wanting to cause any damage to it

[Demed3]

think il pass on going for 2 weeks

Would it really hurt to miss a week? The healing process of the tattoo is more important.

I would pass. I normally give up the weight training for two weeks post new tattoo....If you spend a lot of money and time on a new tattoo then what is two weeks anyway? Better to make sure you give it the best chance to heal well.

I wouldn't go boxing the day after a tattoo, but I usually resume my workouts no more than two days after the tattoo. I've never had a problem. How exactly does anyone think that working out is going to hurt a tattoo?
