I wouldn't. Your tattoo won't be fully healed in a week, mine never are anyway. You'll likely still have scabbing and your skin will still be sensitive, you're not even supposed to scratch when it itches. You could possibly cause scarring and destroy the art.

On second thought....even after the tattoo is healed, I have a tendency to think whipping may damage it, but maybe someone with experience in that area will know better than I.
