Thanks for this! Just got an inner forearm tattoo 7 days ago and I am dying to get a workout... I asked my artist twice if I could sneak in a workout after 7 days and he gave me a resounding "no". He also said to workout after 2 weeks, so cheers for confirming this! 🍻
@sweetpeasjax I just got a chest piece 2 been working out back legs no and been fine but itching to workout chest it's been 2 weeks and 2 days so far I think I'm fine I just need extra advice
If you have a new/healing tattoo, just skip the gym for two weeks. Coming from somebody whose obsessed with lifting for the aesthetic and mental wellbeing benefits, the cons outweigh the pros. For my first half sleeve (forearm), and innerbicep tattoo, I continued working out, and it absolutely healed worse/noticeably more patchy and faded then now where I take a full two weeks off. Especially when your tattoo starts scabbing and drying out, stretching and causing friction in that area with resistance/weights will cause cracking in the skin and when it heals you will clearly see the loss of ink
Two weeks is excessive imo. Just don’t do anything that irritates the newly tattooed area. I started working out a few days after my forearm tattoo. It doesn’t bend or stretch in any way, so working out doesn’t affect it.
I just came across this and great information! I am getting another forearm tattoo and I have to work out because I have depression, anxiety and ptsd so working out is a must now to get out of my head. Thank you for this video!!
Hi Martin, Thank you for the great video and tips, appreciated. I'm doing crossfit and already have 2 new tattoos for which I've used and currently using the black healing balm which helped immensely and after max 3 weeks of rest I went back to training without problem. I believe it's important to respect your new tattoo like an investment and take care of it properly, in this way you are not only healthy but also have a long lasting piece of art on your skin till being old. Hav en god dag!
Thanks for your feedback Stefan! We are glad you could use Martin's tips together with our Sorry Mom Balm to ensure a long lasting, vibrant tattoo :) Taking care of a new tattoo is a vital part of getting a tattoo, and you can tell the difference easily between a proper healed tattoo or a bad healed tattoo. We hope you enjoy your new pieces of art and stay healthy!
hello Johannes, as Martin says in the video start slow, let the tattoo/legs rest for about a week and then start from there. Optimal 2 weeks would be even better, we always recommend that you prioritize letting the tattoo rest and heal for as long as possible, but after a week you should be out of the critical stages of the healing process. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi! I'm gonna get my elbow done this week. My question is, what's the best way to keep the tattoo from getting ruined since I wear long sleeves for work?
Hello Gabriel! We recommend that you use tattoo film for the first couple of days, after that you should be fine. wear as loose clothes as possible to avoid friction and remember to keep the area moist.
Hi Martin! Really good and clear video, my only question is I just got a forearm tattoo (4 days ago and counting) so can I do lower exercises and some upper exercises or is better that I just wait a little longer? All this in my home btw
Hello Matías! Thank you for liking the video and awesome that you could use it! :) As Martin says in the video, we will recommend you to aviod working out the area with the new tattoo for the first week or even longer (if possible) you can do some cardio or light leg workout but the forearm, is part of most upper body exercises. Most important, listen to your body. Best regards - Sorry Mom
Hey Monsieur, congratulation on your new tattoo, if you can wait a bit longer, we recommend that, but if you are going, listen to your body and as you wrote start lightly
You can definitely workout the same day after getting a tattoo. I got mine yesterday. Just don’t workout the spot where you have your tattoo placement at.
Hello Rocky, You defintily can, but we would not recommend you to, do to the possibilty of harming the tattoo or risk getting an infection // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey Daniel, yes your need to be careful with hand tattoos. Hand tattoos often need a retouch anyways because most people use their hands for work every day. So by working out while they are healing does not add to the healing process it takes away. I would wait at least 2-3 weeks if it was hands tattoos. Jacob - Team Sorry mom
hey there, great video! I just got a tattoo 2 days ago on my upper thigh and have table tennis in a few days. is it still okay for me to go and do that or should i wait longer. it will have been 5 days from when i got it for my session. also, when is it safe for me to go to the beach for when it will definitely get sandy?
Hey Jared! Being unsure how hard you go on your table tennis it’s hard to say. I think table tennis should be fine, but you should avoid scratching your tattoo agains the table. As for going to the beach and getting sandy I’d recommend waiting till your tattoo is completely healed - minimum a few weeks.
Hello, we recommend that you keep steady for at least 2 weeks before starting working out again. However if you need to go to the gym, yes shower at home, wear loose cloths so your tattoo does not get friction. Also start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Sorry Mom Shop
Hello TJ, Your tattoos do not care about which level of sports you play on, one can argue the more intense you train, the more chance you have to mess up the tattoo. You need to think about it like this: the more you rest the faster your tattoo heal, you want your tattoo to heal as fast as possible. If you work out you slow down the proces and the healing period becomes longer. You also risk damaging the tattoo which could be a permanent. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
hii, thank you for the video, I got s small underbust tattoo yesterday (my first tattoo) and I wanted to go back to working out tomorrow. I will be working legs, so the sweat worries me a little, but I'll be sure to clean the tattoo constantly and drying the sweat off. I'll also use a baggy shirt and avoid bras so I don't have pressure or rubbing on it. Is it still not recommendable to work out taking those things into consideration? thank you
Hi ! I got a new half sleeve tattoo from my shoulder to my elbow and after fully peeled off and ı think healed. 16 days after this tattoo I went to the stadium to watch a crazy match and my arm was very active. and then I played a tough soccer game 24 days after my tattoo I ran a lot. I wondering Will all these activities damage my tattoo? Another thing I'm wondering is, what kind of damage can do moving the tattooed area except healing process, can it ruin the tattoo under the skin? Or does it just delay healing?
Hello probably not going to get a response. I just got a tattoo on my upper left arm. Biceps. I was just wanting to shoot a little basketball. Just an hour per day. You think that's ok? Btw i got my tattoo on Thursday. It's Tuesday now.
Got a tattoo on my inner forearm 2and a half weeks ago, it’s pretty much past the peeling just a little here and there. Do you think it would be alright to go to the gym with out a long sleeve shirt, can I go back to being sleeveless? Hope that’s makes sense thanks !
Hello Neven, the longer you wait regardless the size, the better. However if you listen to your body, wrap it and dont get into any messy situations where you potentially can hurt/scrape the tattoo you might be fine. But if the tattoo gets scraped, it can might effect the way it looks, the rest of you life, so be careful. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello sir. the size and placement does not matter. You still risk damaging the skin, if you work out. However small tattoos often heal a lot faster then large tattoos, but to be safe i would take 1-2 weeks off. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
Hello! Regardless what you do, it is the same. We recommend that you wait atleast a week, if you got your legs tattooed, we recommend even longer, after the first week start light, listen to your body and then go from there. If its possible wait even longer. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hey just found this video, great help! I just got a maori tattoo on my right arm, it's a full sleeve tattoo from the shoulders to 3/4 my bicep(almost to the elbow but not too close). My tattoo was finished on the 11th of September. Should I still avoid training in the area my tattoo was made and if yes for how long?
First up, congratulations with the new tattoo ;) it has only been a few days and under a week, so I would recommend you to wait a few more days, then start light and listen to your body, dont go straight in to lifting heavy or do long workout sessions immediately. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi there! It will highly depend on the exact placement. However, we wouldn't recommend laying on your new tattoo for the first 2 weeks. Our recommendation would be to find alternative exercises to your routine until the tattoo is healed and ready to roll again :)
Bro I did calf tattoo on leg..nt big but medium one...so tmmw my tattoo getting one week completed..so can I go to play football on beach or either grass?
Hello, the problem with playing football is, that you risk hitting the tattoo, which can affect the final result if you get it scratch up. So ill recommend that you wait a week or 2. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I went to a sauna whilst one of my tattoos was peeling and of course loads of skin came off. It felt great and the end result looks amazing. Not sure if I'm lucky though!
Hey Joe, we would not recommend you go to a sauna, however its good to hear, that nothing happened,. but in the future, if you are getting more tattoos, consider waiting until you are done with the healing period. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi! I'm getting a tattoo on my ankle. Will I be able to actually do cardio two days later (running and dancing) , or should I wait until it's healed? Awesome vid!
Hi Leslie! We'd recommend you wait at least 2-3 days at the very least. However, since you are getting tattooed on your ankle and you want to run and/or dance, you should definitely wait till it's completely healed (if you want to avoid any risks) . I hope this helped!
If you have a new tattoo and you want to go to the store but the sun is out. You are driving to the store but of course you have to get out of the car. Does that mean you have to cover up your tattoo? Or when they say don't expose your new tattoo to sunlight they mean don't go to the beach or lay out in the sun? All people say is don't expose it to sunlight. Do they mean literally don't get caught in the sun or they mean extreme cases of just being out in the sun for hours?
Hello Again Mr. Wolf! They do not mean literally :) Your tattoo is not going to get ruined by 5 mins in the sun. However you should avoid direct sun in generel but especially in the beginning. Nothing is going to happen from your car to the store,. I would personally wear clothes that covers my new tattoos until i can protect them with sunscreen after a couple of weeks! :)
Hey, I just got my Bicep tattooed 4 days ago and have a basketball game tomorrow, do you suggest I wear a full sleeve shirt to cover it perhaps? Or maybe just skip the game?
Okay,so I got a forearm tattoo on my outer forearm and my artist told my it's ok to train upper body after 5 day.(I have weights at home)I am on day 6 and I'm dying to train upper body.What to do?
Hello Chrysa, we here at sorry mom, always advice that you wait 2-3 weeks, especially the bodypart where you got the tattoo. As we see it, its a lifetime of your tattoo vs working out a couple of weeks, so therefore we want the tattoo to heal as best as possible. so wait 2-3 weeks then start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello Michael! I do not know that much about dancing, other than im pretty bad! However as i understand it, dancers go pretty hard and sweat a lot. We recommend you to wait 2-3 weeks before going back, if you decide to go on thursday, i would recommend you to think about this: If you fall, scratch or the tattoo rubs against your close, you risk it being damaged for the rest of your life. If you are not concerned about these things, you are not gonna fall or create friction between the tattoo and your clothes go for it. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Hey, my large bicep tattoo is in the silver skin stage, I’ve had it for 4 weeks now. There’s a little bit of the sunburn/peeling/dryness at the edge of one part of it. Am I ok to start lifting weights, do intense cardio or wear fitted clothing in the gym?
Would you say its OK to weight train on day 5 as iv just had a head tattoo done last Thursday. I'd put a aftercare cream on for extra protection .but I'd bath at home not at that the gym. When is it safe to not have to wrap my head tattoo for bed please . Thank u
love the video! I’m getting 3 tattoos next week all in the same day one on my chest under my collarbone , tramp stamp and one on my leg under the knee what do you think i should avoid doing in the gym?
Hello Erna, i would advice you to stay home the next 2-3 weeks, because your body needs to heal and rest. If you use energi on working out, your body does not use the energi to rest and recover. I know it sucks but look at it this way, if you damage your tattoo or get it infected during a workout its gonna effect the result for the rest of your life vs taking 2-3 weeks of at the gym. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I’m getting my shoulder done today, can I do legs for the next two days and then hit lights shoulder after 48 hrs. And should I cover it up with something and with what so I don’t get bacteria in the gym on my tattoo?
Hello Roberto! We here at sorry mom would recommend you to wait a bit longer, and start up light. but if you cant wait cover it with cling film or something like that and wear lose cloths so it do not get friction from the cloths. So in short if you can wait a bit longer you dont have to cover it up, you just need to wear lose cloths. Always remember to keep it clean aswell! // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello Jay, the answer is unfortunately no. If you damage the tattoo by falling, getting tackled, it gets to much friction between your skin and cloths or dirt gets into it, you risk the tattoo being damaged for the rest of your life. You can run the risk, however i think you will be so sad, if something happens to a brand new tattoo that you spend money on and now its kinda ruined. Im not gonna tell you know im just asking you to think about the pros vs cons. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Im getting a tattoo tomorrow and it's clashing with my workout routine. NOw, mind you, I've been trying to get serious about lifting for decades and I'm finally getting there so as you can inderstand, I'm really dreading the idea of having to stop working out for weeks just because of the tattoo which I'm getting regardless. Are the 48 hours really enough?
Helle, Yes you would be able to do legs if you got a hand tattoo, but we still advice you to wait between 2-4 weeks before starting on working out. The body is still using energy, especially if you do a hard leg workout, and that effects the healing period which we wanna avoid. Therefore we recommend that, if you are going to workout you start slow, light and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi there! i'm thinking to get a tattoo on my forearm. Do i need to stop working out even though i rest for 48 hours after getting the tattoo? I've been at the gym for 2 months. and is it also okay to workout at home for abs and cardio after getting a tattoo on my forearm? can you please answer for me? it would help me in great deals. Thank you in advanced
Hello! it would be best to wait 1-2 weeks because if you fall and tear your tattoo it can effect the healing process and the tattoo will be damaged forever. Also it´s best for the tattoo with some rest. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Thanks for the Video. I am planing to get a Maori tattoo on my chest/shoulder/arm. Since it will be quite large, i have 6 appointments all 1 week apart from each Other. How am i supposed to train my chest and shoulders? I cant stop 6 weeks that will feel live i have to start all over again :/ Pls help
Hello! first of, if you are getting tattooed for 6 weeks you also need to take some time after to recover, so it might be more like 8 - 10 weeks before working out. You can do some different things like working out "VERY LIGHT" before each tattoo session to maintain your strength, so you wont progress but then you at least not loose any strength. You can focus on going for long walks/leg workouts (Still light). But in the end you need to thing about your tattoo and it is going to be on your body forever. So it might be a though one to swollow but I think you should wait the 8-10 weeks. Jacob - Sorry Mom
Hello Steve, the size dos not matter, you still have the risk of an infection, but light cardio after a couple of days should not be a problem - Sorry Mom

What about a wrist tattoo ? Can still hit the gym! + my tattoo is wrapped with a tape and my tattoo artist told me to skip the gym for a week 😫! Bcz heat and sweat can tear the tape. So what should I do😫
Hey! regardless where the tattoo is placed or the size of it, a tattoo is an open wound and that means that it can get infected. Thats why we recommend that you wait around a week (or longer), start slow, listen to your body and have extra focus on hygiene. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom

Hey, just got a neck tattoo, it’s decently small, and is covered in fake skin for the next two days any recommendations on what I can do as far as weightlifting for the next couple days?
It depends on how the tattoo heals up during that first week.. I have done it with great results myself, but I have also messed up my new tattoo by playing soccer with a fresh tattoo. Just make sure to take good care of it
Hey Rico, we always recommend that you do as little cardio/workout as possible for the first week because you can risk getting an infection in your new tattoo.
Hey Charris. You should definitely wait a couple of days, especially since it is on your elbow. If you can't wait we recommend that you focus more on the legs the next couple of days :)
Great video! I’m getting a tattoo on my shoulder and arm and also going under my collarbone. I wear tight sport bras as I need the support, this will be over my tattoo on my shoulder and collarbone, would this be ok if I way 3-4 days after? I workout at home.

Hello Luke, we would recommend you to combine some time off with getting you tattoo. You risk permanent damaging you tattoo, leaving it with blowout or, infection etc. thats why i would recommend at least a week of, 2 if it is possible. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi Brian! We would recommend you wait 2 weeks before resuming any high intensity activity. However, it will depend on the placement. Let's put it this way: the more likely the tattooed area is to be in contact with your clothing and/or teammates (or opponents), the more you should wait. We hope this helped!
ive had my chest tattoo for 5 days i was doing bench press an didnt know but is it okay if workout the other parts of my body as long as i dont do chest

Thanks for the video just got my first tattoo 3 days ago on my forearm is it ok to do cardio? I sweat alot when I exercise so I’m worried that is bad for my new tat.
Hello Ryan, i would recommend you to wait at least 10 days, especially if you sweat a lot. As we always say, i know it sucks, but it sucks even more if your tattoo does not heal right, you can always workout but it would suck to have a bad healed tattoo for the rest of your life. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
If you want to play basketball after the fresh tatt should you wait a week or 2 after. Or can you play it like a couple days after but try not to sweat
Hey! i would wait a couple of weeks, so the tattoo is settled more in the skin. If you fall in this very crucial period, you risk permanent damaging the tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
I am not that guy in the video but what I would do is wait for three to four days and then start exercising again with a cling wrap covering your new tat for the duration of your training. Once you finish practice, take off the cling wrap and take a soapy shower. Never use the same cling wrap twice
Hey Agustin! avoid working out the first week, as much as possible, by waiting you avoid the risk of getting an infection and your tattoo will get a better result! If you can't wait a full week use Martins advice in the video and wear loose cloths and makes sure to propper clean your tattoo using neutral products. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello S, I would skip the next two weeks and then start slow and listen to your body. In crossfit you use the torso a lot. Your body needs rest so the "wounded area" can heal faster, we dont wanna extent the healing period. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello Amani, the size and placement does not matter that much, when we are talking aftercare. Of cause there is more skin/surface to affected. Therefore we always recommend to wait 2-3 weeks. We are talking about a few weeks vs the rest of your life. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom

@@ezraezra-yo6ju nice, appreciate ya turns out as long as you don’t end up sweating it won’t sting 💪
If you have a new/healing tattoo, just skip the gym for two weeks. Coming from somebody whose obsessed with lifting for the aesthetic and mental wellbeing benefits, the cons outweigh the pros.
For my first half sleeve (forearm), and innerbicep tattoo, I continued working out, and it absolutely healed worse/noticeably more patchy and faded then now where I take a full two weeks off. Especially when your tattoo starts scabbing and drying out, stretching and causing friction in that area with resistance/weights will cause cracking in the skin and when it heals you will clearly see the loss of ink
Two weeks is excessive imo. Just don’t do anything that irritates the newly tattooed area. I started working out a few days after my forearm tattoo. It doesn’t bend or stretch in any way, so working out doesn’t affect it.
I've heard other lifters say that they started working out 1 or 2 days after with no issues. They just make sure to keep extra hydrated and clean.
Is cardio okay tho? I got 2 new tatts on forearms
Bro I can’t wait that much im fokin dying it’s been 5 days since i got tatted 😭😭
I just worked out, not too hard… I still have my second skin on. But I didn’t really stretch the area.
I’m not going again until Monday maybe

You can definitely workout the same day after getting a tattoo. I got mine yesterday. Just don’t workout the spot where you have your tattoo placement at.

what would you recommend for a small finger tattoo?
Love this video. What about a tattoo on a hand? Especially then when it comes to lifting any weights?
Hey Daniel, yes your need to be careful with hand tattoos. Hand tattoos often need a retouch anyways because most people use their hands for work every day. So by working out while they are healing does not add to the healing process it takes away. I would wait at least 2-3 weeks if it was hands tattoos. Jacob - Team Sorry mom
Thank you I will definitely be careful!
Got a half sleeve arm tattoo for how much time should i avoid working out?
hey there, great video! I just got a tattoo 2 days ago on my upper thigh and have table tennis in a few days. is it still okay for me to go and do that or should i wait longer. it will have been 5 days from when i got it for my session. also, when is it safe for me to go to the beach for when it will definitely get sandy?
Hey Jared!
Being unsure how hard you go on your table tennis it’s hard to say. I think table tennis should be fine, but you should avoid scratching your tattoo agains the table. As for going to the beach and getting sandy I’d recommend waiting till your tattoo is completely healed - minimum a few weeks.
Getting a tattoo on the back of my leg so no gym for 2 days and shower at home will I need to cover tattoo in shower thanks
Hello, we recommend that you keep steady for at least 2 weeks before starting working out again. However if you need to go to the gym, yes shower at home, wear loose cloths so your tattoo does not get friction. Also start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Sorry Mom Shop
Thanks for this!
how bout if you play organize basketball. because i’m thinking of getting 2 small tattoos by my forearm and another on my finger
Hello TJ, Your tattoos do not care about which level of sports you play on, one can argue the more intense you train, the more chance you have to mess up the tattoo. You need to think about it like this: the more you rest the faster your tattoo heal, you want your tattoo to heal as fast as possible. If you work out you slow down the proces and the healing period becomes longer. You also risk damaging the tattoo which could be a permanent. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
hii, thank you for the video, I got s small underbust tattoo yesterday (my first tattoo) and I wanted to go back to working out tomorrow. I will be working legs, so the sweat worries me a little, but I'll be sure to clean the tattoo constantly and drying the sweat off. I'll also use a baggy shirt and avoid bras so I don't have pressure or rubbing on it. Is it still not recommendable to work out taking those things into consideration? thank you
Hi ! I got a new half sleeve tattoo from my shoulder to my elbow and after fully peeled off and ı think healed. 16 days after this tattoo I went to the stadium to watch a crazy match and my arm was very active. and then I played a tough soccer game 24 days after my tattoo I ran a lot. I wondering Will all these activities damage my tattoo? Another thing I'm wondering is, what kind of damage can do moving the tattooed area except healing process, can it ruin the tattoo under the skin? Or does it just delay healing?
Its been a week since I got mine and its small on my forearm
Hello probably not going to get a response.
I just got a tattoo on my upper left arm. Biceps.
I was just wanting to shoot a little basketball. Just an hour per day. You think that's ok?
Btw i got my tattoo on Thursday. It's Tuesday now.
I got my neck done Thursday it’s 4 days can I go workout now ?
I got my kneecap done, can I train arms the day after?
Got a tattoo on my inner forearm 2and a half weeks ago, it’s pretty much past the peeling just a little here and there. Do you think it would be alright to go to the gym with out a long sleeve shirt, can I go back to being sleeveless? Hope that’s makes sense thanks !
Can we work out after 7 days after a tattoo? Or is it not adviced? I mean the pain is gone, but the ink seems new
Very informative
Great video! I just got a relatively small tattoo just above my ankle two days ago. Do you think I’d be good to go play basketball tomorrow?
Hello Neven, the longer you wait regardless the size, the better. However if you listen to your body, wrap it and dont get into any messy situations where you potentially can hurt/scrape the tattoo you might be fine. But if the tattoo gets scraped, it can might effect the way it looks, the rest of you life, so be careful. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I just got a forehand portrait tattoo on my right hand. can I just do cardio after 1 week later please I need an answer ???
I still have a question what happens when you get a small tattoo on the neck how long can i wait
Hello sir. the size and placement does not matter. You still risk damaging the skin, if you work out. However small tattoos often heal a lot faster then large tattoos, but to be safe i would take 1-2 weeks off. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo ohh okey thanks i will wait for now😂
hey what about running?
Hello! Regardless what you do, it is the same. We recommend that you wait atleast a week, if you got your legs tattooed, we recommend even longer, after the first week start light, listen to your body and then go from there. If its possible wait even longer. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom

Hey just found this video, great help! I just got a maori tattoo on my right arm, it's a full sleeve tattoo from the shoulders to 3/4 my bicep(almost to the elbow but not too close). My tattoo was finished on the 11th of September. Should I still avoid training in the area my tattoo was made and if yes for how long?
First up, congratulations with the new tattoo ;) it has only been a few days and under a week, so I would recommend you to wait a few more days, then start light and listen to your body, dont go straight in to lifting heavy or do long workout sessions immediately. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I've just had one on my back. How long it take to come back to exercises with barbel, squads or when I lay on my back while hip trust?
Hi there! It will highly depend on the exact placement. However, we wouldn't recommend laying on your new tattoo for the first 2 weeks. Our recommendation would be to find alternative exercises to your routine until the tattoo is healed and ready to roll again :)
Bro I did calf tattoo on leg..nt big but medium one...so tmmw my tattoo getting one week completed..so can I go to play football on beach or either grass?
Hello, the problem with playing football is, that you risk hitting the tattoo, which can affect the final result if you get it scratch up. So ill recommend that you wait a week or 2. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I went to a sauna whilst one of my tattoos was peeling and of course loads of skin came off. It felt great and the end result looks amazing. Not sure if I'm lucky though!
Hey Joe, we would not recommend you go to a sauna, however its good to hear, that nothing happened,. but in the future, if you are getting more tattoos, consider waiting until you are done with the healing period. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi! I'm getting a tattoo on my ankle. Will I be able to actually do cardio two days later (running and dancing) , or should I wait until it's healed? Awesome vid!
Hi Leslie! We'd recommend you wait at least 2-3 days at the very least. However, since you are getting tattooed on your ankle and you want to run and/or dance, you should definitely wait till it's completely healed (if you want to avoid any risks) . I hope this helped!
I'm getting my chest done tomorrow but I have a soccer game on Friday and Sunday should I just take the week off or should I play ??
If you have a new tattoo and you want to go to the store but the sun is out. You are driving to the store but of course you have to get out of the car. Does that mean you have to cover up your tattoo? Or when they say don't expose your new tattoo to sunlight they mean don't go to the beach or lay out in the sun? All people say is don't expose it to sunlight. Do they mean literally don't get caught in the sun or they mean extreme cases of just being out in the sun for hours?
Hello Again Mr. Wolf! They do not mean literally :) Your tattoo is not going to get ruined by 5 mins in the sun. However you should avoid direct sun in generel but especially in the beginning. Nothing is going to happen from your car to the store,. I would personally wear clothes that covers my new tattoos until i can protect them with sunscreen after a couple of weeks! :)
@@SorryMomTattoo Thanks again!
Hey, I just got my Bicep tattooed 4 days ago and have a basketball game tomorrow, do you suggest I wear a full sleeve shirt to cover it perhaps? Or maybe just skip the game?
Okay,so I got a forearm tattoo on my outer forearm and my artist told my it's ok to train upper body after 5 day.(I have weights at home)I am on day 6 and I'm dying to train upper body.What to do?
Hello Chrysa, we here at sorry mom, always advice that you wait 2-3 weeks, especially the bodypart where you got the tattoo. As we see it, its a lifetime of your tattoo vs working out a couple of weeks, so therefore we want the tattoo to heal as best as possible. so wait 2-3 weeks then start slow and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hi im a dancer. Got my tattoo at Sunday, thigh area and im planning to dance again at Thursday. Is it ok?
Hello Michael! I do not know that much about dancing, other than im pretty bad! However as i understand it, dancers go pretty hard and sweat a lot. We recommend you to wait 2-3 weeks before going back, if you decide to go on thursday, i would recommend you to think about this: If you fall, scratch or the tattoo rubs against your close, you risk it being damaged for the rest of your life. If you are not concerned about these things, you are not gonna fall or create friction between the tattoo and your clothes go for it. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo ok got it. Thank you very much for you reply
No problemo Michael!
Hey, my large bicep tattoo is in the silver skin stage, I’ve had it for 4 weeks now. There’s a little bit of the sunburn/peeling/dryness at the edge of one part of it. Am I ok to start lifting weights, do intense cardio or wear fitted clothing in the gym?
Would you say its OK to weight train on day 5 as iv just had a head tattoo done last Thursday. I'd put a aftercare cream on for extra protection .but I'd bath at home not at that the gym. When is it safe to not have to wrap my head tattoo for bed please . Thank u
love the video!
I’m getting 3 tattoos next week all in the same day one on my chest under my collarbone , tramp stamp and one on my leg under the knee what do you think i should avoid doing in the gym?
Hello Erna, i would advice you to stay home the next 2-3 weeks, because your body needs to heal and rest. If you use energi on working out, your body does not use the energi to rest and recover. I know it sucks but look at it this way, if you damage your tattoo or get it infected during a workout its gonna effect the result for the rest of your life vs taking 2-3 weeks of at the gym. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I’m getting my shoulder done today, can I do legs for the next two days and then hit lights shoulder after 48 hrs. And should I cover it up with something and with what so I don’t get bacteria in the gym on my tattoo?
Hello Roberto! We here at sorry mom would recommend you to wait a bit longer, and start up light. but if you cant wait cover it with cling film or something like that and wear lose cloths so it do not get friction from the cloths. So in short if you can wait a bit longer you dont have to cover it up, you just need to wear lose cloths. Always remember to keep it clean aswell! // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
do you think getting a tattoo during the fball season is a good idea?
Hello Jay, the answer is unfortunately no. If you damage the tattoo by falling, getting tackled, it gets to much friction between your skin and cloths or dirt gets into it, you risk the tattoo being damaged for the rest of your life. You can run the risk, however i think you will be so sad, if something happens to a brand new tattoo that you spend money on and now its kinda ruined. Im not gonna tell you know im just asking you to think about the pros vs cons. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Im getting a tattoo tomorrow and it's clashing with my workout routine. NOw, mind you, I've been trying to get serious about lifting for decades and I'm finally getting there so as you can inderstand, I'm really dreading the idea of having to stop working out for weeks just because of the tattoo which I'm getting regardless. Are the 48 hours really enough?
So can I go do legs if the tattoo is on my hands
Helle, Yes you would be able to do legs if you got a hand tattoo, but we still advice you to wait between 2-4 weeks before starting on working out. The body is still using energy, especially if you do a hard leg workout, and that effects the healing period which we wanna avoid. Therefore we recommend that, if you are going to workout you start slow, light and listen to your body. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
What if I wear saniderm?
Hi there! i'm thinking to get a tattoo on my forearm. Do i need to stop working out even though i rest for 48 hours after getting the tattoo?

Thank you in advanced
Do you think I can play soccer after a fresh tattoo or should I wait like a week
Hello! it would be best to wait 1-2 weeks because if you fall and tear your tattoo it can effect the healing process and the tattoo will be damaged forever. Also it´s best for the tattoo with some rest. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Got a medium piece on my triceps, how long should I wait before I start bench press and triceps push down?
Thanks for the Video. I am planing to get a Maori tattoo on my chest/shoulder/arm. Since it will be quite large, i have 6 appointments all 1 week apart from each Other. How am i supposed to train my chest and shoulders? I cant stop 6 weeks that will feel live i have to start all over again :/ Pls help
Hello! first of, if you are getting tattooed for 6 weeks you also need to take some time after to recover, so it might be more like 8 - 10 weeks before working out. You can do some different things like working out "VERY LIGHT" before each tattoo session to maintain your strength, so you wont progress but then you at least not loose any strength. You can focus on going for long walks/leg workouts (Still light). But in the end you need to thing about your tattoo and it is going to be on your body forever. So it might be a though one to swollow but I think you should wait the 8-10 weeks. Jacob - Sorry Mom

Hi Martin! I am getting a tattoo in 2 weeks. I am also a football player. How long do I have to wait to play football after getting my tattoo
Hi Brian!
We would recommend you wait 2 weeks before resuming any high intensity activity. However, it will depend on the placement. Let's put it this way: the more likely the tattooed area is to be in contact with your clothing and/or teammates (or opponents), the more you should wait.
We hope this helped!
