Working Out: How Long to Wait. If you have a workout routine that is scheduled for a few times a week, try to wait at least 48 hours after getting your tattoo before you work out. However, if you are in training or cannot function without a daily workout, you can cut the time to 24 hours.
It depends on how healed you are and how big the tattoo is. I was told when I got mine that I should wait at least six weeks before I could go swimming. If you do go swimming it will fade that tattoo really bad. If you can you should contact the place you got the tattoo and ask them how long. mesuz27 Â· 8 years ago.
