Tattoo on foot- how long before running again?

I want to get a tattoo that says miles to go- even if I don't continue to run- it has been the next stage in my life since my last tattoo. I want it on the inside of my foot (inside ankle area but lower). How long after I get it will I be down?

Re: Tattoo on foot- how long before running again?

  • I think if I were to get a tattoo in that location that I wanted to last I'd wait until the scabs were gone, so probably 2 weeks or so?  I can't remember how long it took my last tattoo to heal completely.

  • I have a biohazard symbol on the inside of my right foot, below the ankle. It took about 2 weeks for the scabs to come off. In retrospect, I could have probably run on it, but you really don't want to disturb the scabs. If they're small scabs (like letters in a font similar to this one), then the scabs will come off more quickly.

    You could try wearing your shoes loosely to reduce the friction, but I wouldn't chance it if the scabs are thicker/wider.

  • Thanks girls. I have no idea about scabs because I didnt get any on the only tattoo I have. I already emailed my tattoo guy to see what he says, but I wanted to see what others said too. I have a race coming up so I can't go just yet...

  • I got one on the top of my left foot almost a year ago and it was about a week and a half before the rubbing of a shoe or sock didn't bother it or press on the scabs.
