I got some new ink this weekend, and it is on top of my foot.. When should it be ok for me to start working out again? I know I was told to wait at least a week till I wore socks if I could but, I'm really missing the gym..

    As someone who has lots of tattoos also, and one on my foot....I'd wait a week to wear a sock/shoe. :wink: But that doesn't mean you couldn't go walking with some flip flops, or go to the gym in flip flops and beat on a punching bag... or if you have a Wii, do some exercising on there, barefoot in your house. Just a few suggestions! :flowerforyou:

    I'd also check with the person who did the tattoo, for their recommendations...

    (says the one with no tattoos YET but had a dream about getting one last night! :laugh: )

    I got a tattoo on the top of my foot a few months ago - definitely wait at least a week for socks or shoes! If there are things you can do barefoot, that would be better. I recall doing some strength training barefoot that week... :smile:
