Is physical activity safe after getting full sleeve tattoo?

Wait a bit: I would wait at least 24 hrs but ideally 48 hours. When you start exercising avoid stretching the skin in the area where you had the tattoo. Also avoid tight fitting clothing in the area where you had the tattoo or exercises that will place that tattoo'd area under a lot of friction against say the floor. Avoid soaking the area and keep it clean and dressed.
