foot tattoo and shoes?

pele · #1 31-07-2007, 09:43

I got a tattoo done on my foot 10 days ago. I did a bunch of research before hand about aftercare and i have been babying the hell out of it- flip flops/slip on shoes, no socks, ect... and it is doing great, i'm almost done peeling and the color and lines are holding beautifully thus far.
i've been jonesing to exercise though and my question is how long did you foot-tattooees wait until you threw on your exercise shoes and went for a run/walk/cardio of your choice?
i know that i've got a while still, just trying to get an idea, or what did you do to burn off those extra calories while a self-inflicted cripple?
thanks all!

depends on size and everything.. you should eb able to put a padding over the tattoo and have socks and shoes on for a short time and be fine .. but once it is healed withing like 1 to 2 months oyu should be fine without having to worry

My sis got a foot tat, it really just depends on how big your tat is. If it's just a little tat like a star 2 to 3 weeks at most a larger tat might be up to 4 weeks. But remember tattoos fade away quickly especially on an area that goes through a lot of friction. Where i come from most tattoo artists will re do the colors to make it not looked faded. If you want to burn of calories do some push ups or crunches. You don't always have to run. Just remember it will eventually fade away.
