Hey 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 :)
moxie ·
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
moxie ·
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!
Sair ·
<3 both of your tattoos K8 and Moxie! :) Will post a pic soon :) Need to get the bf to take a pic of it ;)
moxie ·
Yay! Man oh man, do I love 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... If your body is a temple then tattoos are its stained glass windows 🙂

Jenn, your tattoo looks awesome, but I can't see it full size! Every time I click on it, it takes me to the home page (weird). What does it say?
Sair ·
Jenn it's rockin! :)

moxie ·
Beautifulfreak, you should post photos of your tattoos! :)
My hip says beautiful/dangerous and I am getting a feather just above it that part of it is breaking apart to sparrows flying away....that will be number 10..I may need to slow down for a bit:) I agree, everyone should post pics🙂
Sair ·
That will look wicked Jenn :) Posted mine...it's a work in progress ;) Be gentle!
Sair--where did you post it? In your Profile Pics on here? I wanna seeeeee
K I found it and it is beeeeutiful!
Sair ·
Thank you oh so much!! :) It's ok right now, but you should see the plans that my artist has to finish it. Teals, mint greens, hot pinks. I'm so stoked to get it done! April 8th can't come fast enough!
I know...it's like Christmas! I am getting mine finished on Apr 3...my birthday. He's my artist and friend...I really don't know why i don't have more...lol Post pics when it's done!
Sair ·
That's too funny fellow Aries as i'm having mine finished almost on my bday too (mine is April 9th). I'd say lets celebrate our collective bdays with a pole jam, but MAN was i ever useless the day after being tattooed :( all plasmatic and gross haha
I just avoided moves that made my tattoos make any contact with the pole until it had healed. Within 2 weeks you'll deffo be fine again and I can't see any reason for the tattoo to stretch at all. I got a new one a few months back too. Yay for pretty tattoos! Please post some pics guys. I'd love to see 😀 https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/4d2cd8a7-070c-42dc-905d-17050ac37250

Sair, OMG! That's a huge tattoo. Really cool looking so far... you guys definitely need to post more pics when you get your tats done. I have one more to go on mine... but shouldn't take too long. On the ribs was just too much pain for me. I also have one on my foot I'll post later tonight. :)
Sair ·
Thanks Moxie :) haha I know it looks so massive at that angle!! MInd you i'm pretty petite ;) 7 more hours to go! Youch on the ribs! My artist cried like a baby when he got his there ;)
moxie ·
Yeah, the ribs are no joke. I have one between my shoulder blades that wasn't too bad. But I can't imagine 10+ hours of it... JEEZ.
