Tattoo's

[samba]

Is it better to get them before training or after you have built up your body.

I want to get a an oriental/tribal tatoe, maybe with my sons name either on my forearm or chest.

I already have an eagle on my shoulder and it still looks good.


Anyone have any cool tattoos.

It depends on how fast you intend to grow and the placement of the tattoo.

Tats weaken the skin.

I've got this buddy who got a 'tattoo' that was just a cm-long line across his right bicep.
That line has grown into a full inch by now! (Almost tripled).

And then people call me a freak when I'm eating tuna from the can!

Honestly, I think they're ugly. I think that it's very detracting when a competitive bodybuilder has any.

It all depends on where you decide to get it . I've got a friend who got a tat on his shoulder before he blew up ........ it looks like shiat now ....totally deformed , . I've got a bad ass tat in the middle of my back so far no deformation . It's a celtic cross . I'd love to post it but i don't have access to ant of the equipment needed .

I'm 17 so i know i still have alot of growing to do. If i got one now, and then blew up over the next couple of years do you think it will look distorted? I've heard that they grow with your skin to keep the appearence. Is this true?

Try this: half-inflate a balloon, draw your image, then inflate the balloon fully ... It will look like a picture your five year-old has drawn.

Geddit ?

Then again. inflate that ballon, draw your pretty picture, then let three quarters of the air out....thats what it`ll look like when your 60

Get the Tat. What the heck.

 

[HardBody007]

and mp5man1 hit the the 25th post!! whoo hoo

 

[Preacher]

Kuso's right ...

I think this falls in the category "I don't want to get too muscular,
because all that muscle turns to fat when you're older"
(mostly said by fat middle-agers).

You are born small and weak and die small and weak,
how you look in between is up to you. (some product marketing thingie).

Get 'some' muscle definition, get the tat,
and you'll probably get away with it and probably even look good doing so

... Good luck!

Tatoo

Im definetly getting a new one. I was mostly looking for some inspiration. Like I said I already have an Eagle which looks pretty cool but it dosent really any symbolism.

 

[BabyArnold]

It will fade a bit...But thats all...

 

[robbm]

Looking for opinions.... so where is the best place (body part) to have a tattoo???

 

[BabyArnold]

It is a personal thing, put it where you want it.

 

[BabyArnold]

You have to live with it....No one else does..
