Tattoo question!!!???

Question

okay so i got my first tattoo 5 days ago and i ride horses. So i wanted to know how long i have to wait until i start riding again. Because i have to wear really tight jeans ( tattoos on my ankle) and chaps so it would be rubbing against it pretty hard. I have a huge show this saturday. Do you think i could ride by at least thursday?

Answer 1

I would be really careful.. Getting it right before a huge show probably wasn't the smartest idea. However, as long as it isn't really sweaty and isn't hurting you, I wouldn't worry about it.  

Answer 2

sorry i'm not sure but u cud ask the person who gave you the tatoo

Answer 3

If you want to ride, then cover the tat with gauze pads with vaseline on them touching the tat.  Should prevent any kind of rubbing if you've got it covered thickly enough.  Just cover it for the show, then you can take it off.  Good Luck at your show!!

Answer 4

Normal wear and rubbing from clothes will be fine.  It depends where the tattoo is on your ankle.  If it's on the fleshy part under the ankle bone on the inside of the ankle then you should take more care of the rubbing as the skin is thinner there.  Anywhere else will be fine,

Make sure you keep it clean and use special tattoo healing cream, you should be able to get some from the place you had it done.  Don;t use vaseline or moisturizer until the scab has fallen off.

On the day I'd suggest using some lint free bandage and taping it over the tattoo to protect it and stop it from being rubbed by the seams of your clothes.  Then clean it thoroughly afterwards and apply some healing cream.  Good luck

Answer 5

dont put cocoa butter on your tattoo

Answer 6

wait a week or two, or just keep rubbing cocoa butter on it.
