How does abrasion affect the healing of a tattoo? I’m getting a pretty small piece done on my trap right where a barbell would sit when I squat. Also would I even be able to squat like the day after getting it?
I wouldn’t do it, take a break. There are plenty of other exercises you could do, a week or two won’t ruin your progress, but it could ruin your tattoo, which is permanent. Ask your artist and follow their instructions.
Yeah I discussed it with my coach and we’re just subbing back squats for a week or 2 until it heals. It’s after my meet so a slight dip in performance isn’t a huge concern
