a new tattoo?? it isnt very big, but i hear it can get infected easily, and my trainer advised me not to train for awhile. advice?
Dedicado said:I have four tats, so I know. Wait untill the scabs on your tat have completely fallen off before you roll. If you don't some of the ink might fall out from getting the scab ground into your gi and ripped off before it's time. Infection is a secondary concern to loss of ink, cuz hopefully you've been keeping the tat clean with mild soap and water.
You can still sweat, i.e. train, just don't fight yet. Try drills where there is no friction on your tatoo. treat the thing like a moderate burn or laceration and you'll be fine. After all you paid good money for the thing, and you'll want it to last right?
