One physical requirement for tattooers which is critical would be your grip strength. It determines how long and how well you can control your machine, I’ve been working out before I became a tattooer before I observed that I could work for way longer hours then my peers, Then I asked them what’s wrong, they’d say their hand is sore and can’t hold the machine anymore. By having a stronger grip you can work for more hours which means more money for you too! So let’s see what workouts can you improve your grip strength.
1.Get a grip trainer. A grip trainer are these little machines you can hole in one hand and squeeze. For each training section do 15 reps for 3 sets for reach hand. I notice the fore arm could be trained more regularly, You can do these from 1-3 times per day depending on how you are feeling.
2.Hang on a pull up bar. Get to the park and hang on the pull up bar for as long as you can. it’s a very challenging one so don’t get disheartened if you can’t hang for too long. Do 3 reps for as long as you can for each section.
3.Dumbbell carries. Pick a challenging weight for you, pick up the dumbbell and walk for a distance(around 5 M ), Walk back and forth counts as one rep, You can do 10 reps for 3 sets per section. Remember to drop the dumbbell slowly even you are feeling tried, It will be worst if it lands on your feet!
So there you have it, 3 workouts to improve your tattooing hours. Do these everyday and you can start to expect a difference within a month.
Keep growing,
