does gaining mass effect tattoos a lot?

[Armykid93]

How much mass would I need to gain to warp a tattoo?

[Armykid93]

A sleeve on my arm btw

I know nothing about tattoos nor do I have any experience with them, but one guy I know who bodybuilds always told people that if they were going to get a tattoo, to do it after you've reached your ideal amount of mass you want to have. He said that getting the tattoo before adding a significant amount of mass will grossly distort it. I can imagine this is the case for a lot of skinny people who had tattoos long before they started working out.

I'm not skinny but I plan on getting back to where I was before basic. I'm 180 right now and I'll be getting back to 210 at about 10 percent bf with the goal to eventually get to 230

Get your tattoo afterwards then. It only makes sense, you don't want whatever you get to end up getting stretched out when you start to pack on the muscle again lol.

[Armykid93]

Yeah. I had one of my buddies tell me though his tattoo got jacked up from losing weight

[Atomini]

From LOSING weight? What, it got compressed? lol

[Skyrinegt]

I have lots and I have been 163lbs for a fight and 250 back a couple years I am now 201lbs steady and none of mine have been warped or anything, sleeve half other sleeve started and most of chest covered

Agree. Ive been under 200 and up to 250 and didnt ever see a difference in my sleeve. I think if u are an overweight person losing a lot of weight, it might be a different story.

Ah cape your a tattooed freak too!?! Lol we have so much in common, you should move to BC and we could be BFF's

[capetown]

Lol. I wouldnt be able to live paying 17 percent tax or whatever you guys pay. That would be the end of my ink. Lol

[gula187]

I don't think it would bother your tats man. I used to be skinny as hell and mine don't look no different now than it did even I got it

[Misery13]

I'm covered and the only I had a problem was when I had back surgery and lost weight. That's when you could see my stretch marks and it only messed up a few of them in a few places. Nothing to serious.

If you're really worried about distortions fvcking up how the tattoos look, why not just get tattoos where it wouldn't matter that much? Like avoid getting people's faces and whatnot.
