There's a meet on March 11 that I REALLY want to go to on Bainbridge Island, WA. The problem is, that's about 4 weeks away and I cant' swim for about 2 or 3 because I just got a tattoo (:D). Is it possible to train on land for those 3 weeks I can't swim, swim the week before the meet and still do ok at the meet and not feel like I"ve been out of the water for a month? Or is it a better idea to just wait for the next one? Thanx!!

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a tattoo. It's just when you swim, you have to plan it a little more.
I plan on getting one in the fall after the open water season is over and I can take a week of rest off.
How much skin recovery time is needed for a tattoo can vary alot. Kyra, did you have any tattoos before? Or is this the first? If you had previous ones, you could gage recovery time on how long they took. (If you had any).
