Boxing and tattoos?

[as646]

So I'm going to get a tattoo fairly soon, but I'm worried about it getting infected from sweating during training/getting knocked during sparring.

First of all, how long should I wait after having it done initially before getting back into training properly, and secondly, should I keep something over it for protection from chafing whilst training?

I train 5 times a week, and generally spar once or twice a week.

i got a new tattoo a few months ago and only took a day off

as long as you follow instructions, like keeping it moisterized and not exposed to the sun you should be fine imo.

Where's the tat and how big?
