Body Building and Tatoos

[LoneLifter]

Lately I have been thinking of getting a tatoo but I also have intentions of entering a competition or two in the next couple of years.

My question is whether or not judges frown heavily on tats.

good question i have one on my left arm.....im just curious about it also

[Squatman51]

some people have them on their arms and you cant even see them like ronnie, cormier, and johnnie jackson

[LoneLifter]

They can't be seen because of their tan or because they are small??

why have one if you cant even see it? why get one if you are unsure about how it will affect your competition. personally I think it throws of your definition and natural lines but this really depends on the tatoo, where it is and the size too.

i wouldnt worry about it if you have no intentions of becoming a pro. i have 4 tats and none really affected my shows.
