I (Jack) had a tattoo on my forearm a week ago.
Does anyone with experience know how long I need to wait before lifting weights? Do I need to wait till it's fully healed, or is a week off long enough? |

A week is plenty. I’ve been back to the gym within a few days after each of my tattoos. As long as you keep it clean and don’t let it rub too much you’ll be fine. |

"Cheers, folks.
I was nervous about the stretching and overly sweating. But I'll take it easy.  "
I work a physical job where I have to move constantly and I’ve been straight to work after a tattoo. As long as you keep it clean and moisturised you can do physical activities as soon as you like. |

"Forearm should be okay. I'd keep the reps slow, but should all be good (not a tattoo artist tho. Can you chat to who did it?)
No one famous. It was a female-lead studio in Northampton."
I'm sure they'd know! I'd hope they'd give aftercare services. |
