Tattoo questions

Not sure where I should have posted this...

Got a tattoo on my forearm 2 days ago and wondered if Im allowed to go to the gym?

Also how long does it normally take to scab?

When can I get it wet? As I'm missing my baths!

Really not sure could you not ask the person who did the tattoo.

For a few weeks, keep it mostly dry. You can shower (dry it gently afterwards), but you shouldn't be soaking it in water.

Yes you can go to the gym, but be cautious of your arm. If it starts to hurt, stop what you are doing.

I guess you can go to the gym, but with a fresh tattoo I would run as far away from places like that as possible. Gyms, no matter how clean or well kept, are filthy. There are hundreds of sweaty people who possibly have skin conditions like ringworm using all of the equipment daily. If you do go, keep it bandaged up very well and be aware of what it touches.
