Tattoos and Training

[OldVet61]

Hey guys,
I got a back piece done a little over two weeks ago. All the dead skin and scabs are off now. Would it be safe to start doing BJJ training again?

I'd ask your tattoo artist.

I'd have to say it SHOULD be safe, but ask someone else to make sure.

A couple weeks should be plenty if yer in the phase where you are just applying like lubiderm. Though ive never had a whole back piece done.

Two weeks should be fine; double check with your tattoo artist. I'd do a light session of rolling with a cotton t-shirt, and see if any ink leaks. If it does, lay off grappling for a while longer.

one of my wrestling teammates got his tatoo re-done and he came back the next day....probably not a good idea though
