First Tattoo

[cullaville]

Had some low time and was just asking for a little advice. Did 25,000 steps yesterday so I think I earned a quick little post.

Enjoy the rest of your trip

It’s a pretty small tattoo on my chest. But yeah i’ve seen to avoid for a bit and what others in the thread have said to play and be careful. Just wanted to get multiple opinions.

Are you missing a nipple and got a fake one tattooed on?

My first tatoo will be of the creature I kill with my bare hands that attacks my pup

So...

Hello my fellow ‘yarders. I have a few quick questions. I am in Italy for a vacation and took the plunge and got my first tattoo (at a very cool spot in Rome, definitely do recommend if anyone visits.) But I had a few questions, as the internet seems to contradict itself.

1: What is the consensus/idea on when/if I can play sports soon? I play basketball 2/week usually and soccer once a week. It’s not the end of the world if I can’t for a couple weeks, but that’s how I get my cardio.

2: What is the best way to care for it with products for the first week or so? I got some products in Italy, but want to make sure it’s kept hydrated when I am back. I heard Aquafor and some other stuff but would love to know how veterans feel.

3: If anyone has any other just random recommendations on care, please do let me know!

Thank you all!

aquafor is just for the first few days, gently wash w gentle soak and pad dry, after that just moisturize 2-3 times a day w regular lotion... no swimming for first couple weeks, and most important, keep it out of the sun w high SPF sunscreen or by the sleeves to cover
