Im on cycle at the moment till mid dec and then obviously starting with pct. i have a back piece that i want to get finished, but i will need a week of training. When would be the best to take a week of without it effecting my gains?

I know your predicament

Tattoo on a Thursday after training, so then you have Fri - sun 'off' and start with legs then back training and keep the other days later in week where you would lie on back....

I thought of doing similar to that, but the thing is i want to avoid sweating as it might effect the tat and i dont want to fuck with that. Best would probably to wait till way after pct and then take a break

I doubt sweat will do much if you shower afterwards and maybe change the dressing aswell. I know okes that go surfing after getting tats and their fine. haha.

You shouldn't keep a tattoo covered for more than an hour or two after it was inked. A thin layer of Bepanthen cream is all that's required.

To be honest, you will probably see better gains during your off week, provided your nutrition remains good, as you grow best when you are resting. Dont sweat it too much

@GSP. that is what i initially wanted to do as this cycle wasn't for bulking. When would you recommend i take the week off GSP? Otherwise it will have to happen next year and i have been putting it off for a long time .

I got a back piece and a few others. I never had a problem....

What I did was this.....

Covered the new Tat with a thick layer of bepanthen 7 days.. covered with plastic and
wore a tight shirt to bed so it min chafing ....

Day 7 I took it off and it was 80% healed .. I left out shoulders and back for that week.

2 years later the tat looks 100%...

But I wouldnt use too much Bapanthen if you got alot of colour..People say it effects the
final result..

Good luck ... Keep it clean .

I normally take about four days after new ink. I personally think that you should not keep it covered for too long after, maybe three hours or so.

On the Bepanthen, I've always had this theory that it does not allow the skin to breath so i've always used Zambuk and the that heals quicker and imo looks sharper afterwards.
