Tattos after muscle/weight gain.

flashinglights · 04-01-2009, 08:45 PM

So if I get a tattoo and later on in life my arms get bigger - will my tattoo look distorted? Or does it just sort of expand with the skin in proportion and looks fine? Does it look faded from expanding? Does anyone ever have to get a tattoo redone because of fading after skin stretching?

Thanks.

Btw, the tattoo I want to get would be going on my arm starting from midway up my bicep to my shoulder.

no man u will be fine takes a lot of stretching to distort and when it does spend some cash and get it touched up no worries

not a big deal, you'd have to grow as big as Ronnie for it to make a difference. Somehow I really don't think its something to be concerned with too much

Agreed with both of them above man, you should be fine!

youll be fine up until stretch marks appear.. they will distort the tattoo. but its noting a little retouching cant fix.

I've bulked up and shrunk down after a tattoo and they both look fine. Don't worry about it!

Thanks guys. I figured as much. I just wanted make sure because if getting bigger makes it distorted I could just hold off but since it won't I'll go ahead and start designing it.
