A member asked:
Just got a tattoo on my back yesterday, can i exercise? my sports bra would go right over it, and i get infections easily.

Best to wait: a couple more days since you have a history of infections. I've seen tats get infected by getting dirty or sweaty up to 3 days after being placed. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
