tattoos and pole?
Posted by moxie on March 8, 2011 at 9:12 pmHey there! I recently got a tattoo on my side/ribcage and it happens to be on the side I typically invert and hold on. Have any of you with tattoos noticed any damage to them when stretched against the pole? So far I haven't noticed anything, but I figured I'd ask around. That tattoo was SO PAINFUL (and expensive) that I want to take good care of it. 🙂 Thanks ladies!

Actually four weeks ago I got one that is on my right hip (the side I usually invert on) and I tried really hard to invert on the opposite side for the first week although a couple times I forgot and some of the scab came off. It was near the end of the healing period though. I was using TatWax religiously to help it heal faster. By two weeks it was totally healed and I was back to my regular poling. I am adding to it though in a couple weeks…larger and higher up so I may have to really concentrate on not irritating that side. Beautiful body art is expensive!!!

I'm in the same boat as you… mine has taken 2 sessions so far (you can see a pic in my photo album). I tried my hardes to wait 3 weeks before inverting or pulling on that side… but it still worries me! I like using Aquafor for healing… it really seems to help speed along the peeling stage.

As soon as you're healed, you should be good to pole on it. It's below the skin surface so the odds of it stretching etc are on the low side.
We need to see pics of these tattoos please 🙂

Yeah, that's what I hoped for… like I said, haven't noticed anything bad yet. But it's only been a few months 🙂 Thanks!

yeah i'd say you need to wait till they heal properly,, i have my wrists tattooed so it was impossible to pole as i kept catching them….not nice…but never herd of them stretching once they'v healed!!!!! herd they stretch in pregnance tho………..will put my pic's up to xx

Wow, I bet that sucked, not being able to pole AT ALL. You should post pics of your wrist tats! 🙂 In fact, all you ladies should post pics of your tattoos!

@Moxie…I do love tattoos too! I just posted a pic in my profile photos of it…and adding to it shortly. I got my wrist tattoooed, of course my right wrist where I do my RG so that was off the table for a bit…
