Pretty much that. I’d wait til the skin finishes peeling. Takes 7-10 days to heal fully.

LOLOL I’m hardheaded, so I think I squatted like 3 or 4 days after my back piece. I was also deadlifting heavy with a thick rough belt a couple days after getting ink on my ribs. Didn’t seem to affect healing at all, so whatevs.

Well it’s your body, do what you want. I love ink, but I’m of the mentality that if you’re going to be stuck with it for life, you might as well do your damnedest to make sure it looks as good as possible.

Wait a couple days, throw some aquaphor on it g2g
