collagenfibre Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) So the tattoo I have is a fairly small-med size on my sternum and currently I have a saniderm on and taking a week's rest and my artist said I could take it off after 4 days. I was thinking when I go back because I wear a sports bra. Do I put tegaderm back on just in case? Or by a week it's okay to leave it. Same question for my rib tattoo which got a touch up before I got my sternum. Do I put tegaderm on for the week that I start the gym or its fine for a sports bra and sweating now. A little more context I do mostly weights and functional workouts. Edited July 20, 2019 by collagenfibre add on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more context I do mostly weights and functional workouts. after 4 or 5 days,especially under the saniderm,it will be fine,just start using a little bit of a good lotion like Aveeno a few times a day, you don't need to reapply saniderm or tegaderm after the first 4 days of the saniderm. just keep it clean and aveeno and keep it out of the sun, if your sports bra starts hurting then wear a looser fitting bra or no bra for a couple days. working out is ok if you don't hit the tattoo, but IMO working out can wait a week more.
