Massage Cupping & MediCupping Therapy on Tattoos

Cupping Therapy Question and Answer Series

Intro

Thank you for joining us for another installment of our Cupping Therapy Q&A Series. Here, we feature clinical questions submitted to us by ACE Massage Cupping Therapy practitioners. Our educators offer some brief insight on the topic so that you can expand your working knowledge on this revolutionary bodywork therapy and its benefits.

Question

Is there a safe timeframe to wait before using cupping therapy over a fresh tattoo? How long does it need to heal before treatment can be done without damaging the tattoo

Answer

The standard tattoo care rules apply in this case:

A waiting period of 10-14 days should be observed before swimming, taking baths, or massage. Massage Cupping therapy practitioners should adhere to these guidelines for both ACE Massage Cupping and MediCupping.
