At least a week. Look, you can live a week or so without hitting some strength/fitness gains and recover in short time. Fuck up your tattoo and your only remedy is another visit to the artist, more ink and more time not running. And that's not a short time frame.
If it helps, I'd rather damage my bike than my ink. Cheaper and quicker to fix the bike. Last time I took a tumble, was much more worried about how close the scars got to my tattoos than the risk to my bike.
