Does a Tattoo Restric Physical Activity?

Answer 1

Only when it's a new tattoo and if it hurts. I don't jog or work out for a week after a new tattoo because I ache.

Answer 2

Physical activity (non-contact sports) is usually OK to continue when you get a new tattoo as long as you take extra good care of it. If you get sweaty, take a shower and clean it as soon as you can. If you're a body builder, just avoid lifting weights with that particular muscle for a few days so you don't stretch it too much. Keep it covered if it has to come in contact with any tight clothing that may rub during movement, but remove any covering as soon as your workout is completed.
Contact sports like football and wrestling, however, are much more potentially damaging for a new tattoo. In this case, a tattoo would really not be a wise choice unless it was possible to avoid the sport for at least a couple of weeks.

Answer 3

in some contexts, like prisons, and cultures tattoos indicate high level of physical activity, since a tattoo is related only to the body. in these contexts/cultures. bearing tattoos and increasing the numbers of tattoos on certain parts of the body signifies strenght of aforesaid part, especially arms, muscles, chest and back and also thighs. However, this cannot be generalized in universal terms. Even among tribes, paints and ashes on the body signifies the physical orientation.Let us put it like, tattoos do not restrict physical activity if we consider physical activity as the basis of strength. The matter does not stop there.In primitive cultures tattoos and natural paints may have compensated for absence of clothing and there is a strong co-relation between tattood persons and animal hides or furs to protect the body.We find that the cultures of cloth/fabric, etc.,are negatively co-related to tattoos. Yet, even in those cultures, having full vestments, used pricking a part of the body with monocromatic colour indicating names, status and religious symbols, Branding the body with hot iron `seals' have been used to identify slaves, thereby obliterating even the distinction between aa horse or a cow or a human being.
On the other hand, female tattooing signifies the range of painting motifs/designs, etc. and coloures, mostly vegetable dyes.Thus there is an aesthetic dimension too, which could be more relevent than hightened physical activity. Tattoos are also meant to arouse eros. They can substitute for symbols and signs and crypts.It is also a fashion or a craze and there are many who earn their livelihood through tattooing skills.This is also applicale to the contemporary period. In early antiquity, tattoos were used for identification of clans, families, regions or locality, conspecifics, gens and tribal units.
The long and short of the answer would be that tattoos are related to many other things besides physical activity or even restricting it, when concealed and held as a secrative, mysterious indication of identity.Basically the answer is logicaally primitive, i.e., both yes and no.

the only thing to worry about is soaking in water can lighten it and rubbing the scab off early can also lighten the ink... you can continue to do everything as normal but keep that in mind
