Have new tattoo on lower back - how long should I wait before exercising?

It's not going to ruin the tattoo to work out. Your not grappling so not rubbing on it any more than regular clothing doing day to day activities. It might burn abit if it gets rubbed pain will be gone in a day or two tops and scab will be gone in 3 or 4.\n\nI have 5 tattoos on various parts of my body and I train in Judo. If you got it today Saturday work out Monday light then by wednesday you can go back to narmal.\n Just make sure you keep putting  cream on it. No polysporn just vaseline or another petrolium based vitamin E cream. And don't bandage it or cover it up. That's only for the first couple hours because of bleeding.\nIt will not bleed again after that so go ahead and train.\n\nCheck out this site for more info.

even if they have to insert the needle right through the middle of your tattoo, it won't affect the spinal block or your tattoo.\nCongrats to you and best wishes for your baby.

How fast, a week, a month? You should stretch after warming up your body a little bit.  While practicing gymnastics we hold a stretch up to 3 min. Also your lower back has to be flexible to touch toes. Try a few back stretchs also.

Was this you first workout?  And you expect to see results right away?  Don't be silly.  \n\nHow long will depend on what kind of workout you are doing.  If you are lifting weights, that is the best way to build muscle and burn fat, it will still take a few weeks before you begin to notice changes.  In term of how your muscles feel you will notice changes tomorrow and especially the day after.  You should lift three days a week and always skip a day in between.  When you work the muscles hard it tears down tissue--it takes more than 24 hours to heal enough to build on.  If you work out everyday you will build up slower than if you do what I told you.\n\nDon't worry about a quick fix.  If you are overweight you have to realize that it did not happen overnight.  Getting in shape and burning off fat will also not happen overnight.  Be patient and be diligent.  No whining allowed--always go to the gym on your scheduled day.  Especially when you don't feel like it.  That is the hard part--once you are there you have to lift--what else is there to do?  Again be patient--this has to be a life-long commitment.

I've popped my left 8 times and my right about 7. If it's still within the first 48 hours of spreining it, do Ice and raise it for 20 min. on, 20 off for the first 48 hours. Then switch to heat ONLY. Keep it elivated. Maybe use an ace wrap for support if you need to get up for any reason. (ace wraps are those cloth-like bandages that have elastic in them ) GOod luck and see you walking fine in 7 to 10 days.

6-8 weeks because its a tender and very delicate area which takes time to heal the fact that you use those muscles a lot to do almost everything.  Rest is the best thing to do for it.

I have pretty sensitive skin and i have 2 tattoos. It may just take longer to heal than most.  Make sure you take good care of it and follow the artists instructions to the letter.

It is an almost painless test, you will be given a sedative and a local, you will be conscience and aware of what is going ON. The test it self is only about 5 minutes 10 at the most, it the prepping that can be anxious because you have to be shaves on the right groin if you do not want the nurse to do it you shave yourself but do not nick or cut yourself as they not do the test. You will be able to se what the Dr. sees and he should give a step by step as he is doing it, ask questions then don't wait until after it is over. When the inject the dye you will a warm sensation especially in the groin area , in fact it will seem as if you wet yourself but you didn't it just feels that way. After the Dr. will most likely put a collagen plug in the artery but may use a sandbag you will have to stay in bed for about 6 hours and then you can go home. The next day just rest and relax and don't shower or bathe. The Dr. will advise on when you can resume normal activities.

It depends.  Commonly it resolves on its own in 6-8 weeks if you don't injure it again.  Heat pads, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and stretching exercises can be used to partially relieve symptoms.  Many people find massage to be soothing during this healing period.  Because of the time sequence, many people mistakenly assume that one of these treatments actually cured their back pain.  It is also important to examine your postures and activities for any that may be causing you to irritate your back.  Some overweight people find that losing weight decreases the frequency of their back problems.\n\n***** HOWEVER keep in mind that a small number of cases are caused by very serious conditions ranging from herniations to tumors and metabolic diseases which can severly weaken the bone and injure nerves.  It is very important that these conditions be excluded before any manipulative forces are applied to your back.  Otherwise you risk serious nerve or spinal cord injury.

If your foot were injured would you be allowed to wear a flip flop or something like that? I would be honest with your supervisor. Apologize, explain how dumb it was, but could they let you wear a flip flop until the tattoo heals. Your supervisor would probably understand that more than you calling out the rest of the week or constantly running to the bathroom to check on your tattoo.Most of my bosses would appreciate the honesty. Give it a shot all he do is say no. Around here they would comply as long as it did not go against any OSHA codes. If you still have to where sneakers try putting Vaseline on it before putting your shoe on. You might need to buy new sneakers later but your tattoo won't keep rubbing against dry sneaker.

If you start out in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery from abdominoplasty will be much faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others take three or four weeks to rest and recuperate. After surgery, exercise can help you heal better. Even people who have never exercised before should begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles. Vigorous exercise, however, should be avoided until you can do it comfortably.

Stretching BOTH before and after the workout.  Warm up before for about 10 minutes doing cardio after the stretches.  Make sure you're hydrated. Eat a banana afterwards.  Enjoy a hot tub or bath.  OR maybe just don't work quite so hard!!  :o)  The phrase "No pain, no gain" is overrated!  If you gradually build up your muscles instead of tearing them, you'll feel better the next day and probably more like continuing the training sessions.  If you hurt all the time, you may give up too soon.  :o)

I waited a long time before getting my tattoo because it's a big deal.  It's going to be with you forever, unless  you want to undergo the pain of laser removal, which i hear is about a thousand times worse than getting that tat itself done.\n\nWhen it comes to tattoos, the biggest rule of thumb is get something that means something to you.  A lot of people just get a tattoo that looks cool, well tats that look cool AND mean something are a lot better. This little bit of artwork is going to be a permanent fixture of your body, it should be something that has some deep personal meaning to you.  You also have to put some thought into where you're going to have it done on your body.  I don't know how old you are, but you have to consider if it's going to become an issue when you step into the professional world later in life.  A lot of jobs are unfortunately not cool about ink showing.  Also, since you're  a woman, if you think you might want to have children, you might not want to get it on your belly or anywhere that might stretch with pregnancy as this will also stretch your tattoo.\n\nAlso, you might want to go in and TALK with your tattoo artist first.  Discuss things like placement, size, and the tattoo itself with him/her.  They've done a lot of these things, they can help you in your decisions.  Your world idea is a good one i think, rather clever.  Oh, and make sure you look at some of your artists's work before you pick them.\n\nWhen you've made all your choices, bring a bottle of soda, and/or a candy bar. Depending on size and placement, you're going to be feeling a little bit of pain, and your body is going to produce more adrenaline as it goes into "fight or flight" mode.  As this happens, you may get a little bit light headed, but the sugar in the soda/candybar will help to fight this.\n\nAnyhow, good luck with your choices! Take your time, and like i said, your artist will be able to help you a great deal.

Two days is what is most often advised.\n\nIf it is strength training, stretching between the exercises can just about eliminate any after-exercise pain.  But it should be the right stretches and they should be undertaken with good form.

Not at all.  Once you get past the first 5 minutes, the area is numb anyway.  It's more like a scratching.  Most people jump when the tattoo gun starts because it's a loud buzzing noise.
