Fresh tattoos and lifting

How did you manage it if you got a new tattoo?
Internet says 1 week break, but i have a tattoo appointment almost every week throughout to october and probably beyond that.
Is lifting moderately going to fuck up the tattoo or colors of it or whatever?
 
I've never had an issue with my tattoos and lifting. After the first three days I start using lotion so the skin doesn't feel so tight.
 
When I first started getting ink it was grimy pieces in my buddies basement... people thought you were a criminal if you had them... now it's the in thing to get these intricate murals people dream up and spend their tax returns on- it's so funny having these young kids come up and talk about this deep quote they are going to get when they have some money. So funny how it changed so quick-now rebels don't have them I guess.

I can't imagine going back to get work done on something more than once. I can swing 15 hours under the needle so what can't get done in 30 hours won't get done on me. More power to you dude.
 
Wasn't really able to train upper body when i did my half sleeve with all the hand covered too. No much skin left without ink till my elbow.

Inflation was intense, was barely getting bloods in my finger if i would use my arm too much, this occurs for 4-5 days.

But i'm also type 1 diabetic, so healing take more time sometime.

Every other body part you should be fine i think
 
Ur good man might slow u down here and there depending on location

Well i started on my throat (yes ) and have one side covered now, other side next week and shadowing/coloring in 3 weeks..then im working down until my whole sleeve is covered.
I feel bad at work having a tshirt on but im just a little ocd i guess. I wish i could work naked so nothing covers the tattoo. I have a cream on it though so i guess im fine having clothes covering it
 
It's a non issue outside being a little uncomfortable depending on the placement of the tattoo. I'm covered from neck to nuts and it's not going to damage the tattoo or anything like that.
 
Your biggest concern should be bacteria. Keep it covered and mess with it while you’re at the gym. I am older an very rarely get acne but when I do it’s from some sweaty goon using the equipment before me.

Well my first big one last week was my right throat up to the jaw, in 5 hours im getting my other side done then 1 more session of shadowing, 1 more of coloring afterwards and my throats completed hah.
Talk about doing the worst first, tattooing my sleeve will be a walk in the park then
