    Yes. They say not to, but it's OK. I've done it with many of mine. It's fine. Just wash it when done.

    Yes, not problem. I was at the gym the day after I had my back piece. Just make sure it's well covered with whatever ointment your tattoo artist recommended, and wash well when you finish.

    I don't like to as I worry it'll get too damp. I sweat like a pig! :O)

    I'm glad it's been OK for others on here though.

    Be very careful.....I ended up with staph infection on my lower back because I only waited a day. I am just now getting to head back to the gym after two weeks away. Made the mistake of letting the office nurse tell me it was only bumps....well two days later it was all the way across my back and i was in the er.
