I am training to compete in figure and/or fitness competitions. I have several tattoos and several small but noticable scars. I am concerned about how to deal with this in competition. Is there a good strong stage make up which will cover them up?

Timea, I am not sure about the tatoos, but the scars can likely be covered up by the standard tanning/competition applications like Jan Tana, etc. If the tatoos aren't particularly large, or in bad areas, it probably should not be a concern. |

Re: competition and tattoos and scars
Quote:
Have you applied a layer of competition tanner yet? you would be amazed at how much it *really* does makes them less noticeable. I've seen competitors who have them on their belly button, ankle, shoulder... so its not that uncommon... most of them arent really large tattoos. I have seen a few ink splattered male competitors though... One particularly at the Emerald in WA this year... He had alot on his arms and back and they were noticeable... but nothing like normally without all the added tanner. Hope that helps. |

thanks for the advice guys. hopefully tanner will help. i havn't started tanning yet as the competition i'm training for is quite far away.
sawheet as for laying on top of me etc. i am flattered but not interested. i am also not easily offended but i am sure some others would have taken offense to that so thanks Twin Peak and Deb for pointing out the inpropriety. ![]() |

You want your board to be viewed that way? I don't. And if Kuso thought it was inappropriate, then clearly it must be. |

I cannot believe that my post was deleted after reading some of the s-it slinging in here!! So much for freedom of speech, she already read the post, commented on it and i answered her. It was very obvious that my post was pure humor and nothing else, hence the use of smileys and such. I have read some of the degrating things ppl have wrote in here about each other, in which I do not take a part of. And why is it ok for one to try to break down someones morale character, but not make a joke. Is it ok because you know that person, ummm NO. Its never ok to demorilize someone!! So I feel sad for whoever was offended by that little remark because that soft shell will not get you very far, go back and read all my posts big brother you will not find any harmfull or demorilizing material included in them. No smiley attached this time!!

To answer the original question...
![]() Get a product called Dermablend in shade that will match your skin tone after competition tanning products have been applied. |

man i sure did not mean to spur so much controversy with my very first post! as i have said i was not offended but could see how many would be and sawheet i am all for humour so i hope there is no hard feelings. period. thanks much to all who stuck up for the newbie and to those who gave me the advice i was looking for. the products and advice supplied are sure to be very usefull. i am not scared off at all. this is a very informative forum and i am not new to the forum concept and thus not at all surprised to find joking/bickering, etc. thanks again for the help and sorry again for being the indirect instigator of all that cafuffle!
