Getting a tattoo next week, can I still exercise as usual?

Getting tattoo on my upper thigh.

I usually go run for about 20 minutes most days.

I don't think I sweat excessively on my thigh.. but I still do a little bit.

Can I continue my runs? Or is it best just to go for a walk instead?

Also, how long to wait after I go back to my runs?

    It's better to wait if possible, but not required

    The pants rubbing on it would be the biggest worry

    should be fine to run, you may want to change the dressing after you run the first day but i cant see why or how it would affect your tattoo, if you are still nervous ask the artiest he will be able to give you all the info (if he can't choose someone who can)

    you will be fine to run as long as the pants/shorts do not rub, you dont want your scab to come off, it will take the ink with it, so loose clothing is a must.
