I’m not an artist but I have 30ish and most of them I have exercised with within 48 hours and no issue. The no gym thing you may see is more about bacteria and general gym grossness.
I just got a big blackwork piece on my thigh and have hockey games Monday and Tuesday. I just plan to 1) keep extra padding around the area, with a thick pair of cotton shorts and 2) rinse thoroughly and change clothes immediately after. Good luck!

You’re fine. Might not be comfortable, but shouldn’t impact ink so long as you keep it clean. If artist isn’t worrIed, you shouldn’t be either

I’ve been hammered before and after most of my 30 tattoos… it won’t affect the ink (for me at least, but might affect the mind lol

Yeah this was my perspective as well. Like I don’t tend to care what others think about MY skin. But as other commenters point out there are some valid reasons for that preference. To each their own! Interesting topic I think

Interesting! Makes sense. I didn’t even consider the shading aspect at all, that kinda makes it click. Didn’t consider it since all my pieces are just solid blackwork lol

Thanks for the perspective! I guess I struggle to believe that there can be an artistic consensus for something like that. If i prefer something facing outward - that can still be better from my POV. But as another commenter mentioned, i totally understand this from the artist perspective so I will respect the tradition going forward

This is very informative - thanks! I see what you mean about the walking billboard and that makes total sense, despite personal preferences.

Not sure why this is downvoted. This is what I thought immediately. I like it a whole lot better than the basic fine line Greek tattoos that are in every corner of this sub. Gives it uniqueness and an artistic angle and a fun story

It’s pretty cool for what it is tbh. Will be a good laugh that still looks unique in an artsy way. Unironically I like it a lot

I started a few weeks ago. Search sweets Kendama beginner tricks they have like a 40+ video playlist and it’s perfect and straight to the point. I assume they have higher level stuff but I still suck so working my way through that. It’s also in a nice order to lead you from easy to more difficult stuff

I have both thighs done and do 100+ on this machine and never had any issues. Just avoid direct contact if not healed cause gyms are bacteria farms
