Tattoos and stretch marks

[Friend]

Has anybody had experience with this?

For example, last cycle i started to develop stretch marks on both of my biceps. I'm getting a full sleeve done and i will be cycling upon completion of it. If i get stretch marks again, will it distort the tattoo?

Freind stretch marks can be covered as long as you get a good tattoo artist, stretch marks on your tattoo depends on the colour of the stretch mark and the effect that they have on the tattoo ie white or deep red marks,The lack of elasticity in the skin can effect the overall design of the tattoo. Only a visit to a tattoo artist will let you know. Likewise a tattoo that has been blurred by streach marks may not be a good candidate for touch up

Maybe before you start your cycle you could try taking some prevention measures like moisturizing with cocoa butter this might prevent elastin and collagen fibers become ‘dehydrated’ & tearing women have been swearing by cocoa butter for years. Keep in mind that for some people, moisturizing won't keep stretch marks at bay. Some people are simply prone to stretch marks while others aren’t. Once you’ve gotten them, you can take measures to remove them with creams such as Retin-A

smarks are harder to tat over b/c the skin is thinner and prone to tearing/ripping.. and it sucks i have had tons of tats over most of my smarks and mother of gawd its a pain took multiple sessions to get the ink to hold on them b/c of the thin skin.. but w/ time and a good artist it will hold

soory to bomb in on your post, but I was wounding the same, I have my daughter on my bi-cep when I was cycling I was getting mark under my arm pit (shouder to arm), but I was trying to find out if my bi-cep picture of my girls face would get messed cause if so it would most likly be hard to cover, and soon I am going in for my sons, so I plan on getting bigger and if so, will mark show on my bi?

LIKE I said I notice them under my arm but not my bi!

Its hard to say where streatch marks will appear,you might not get them on your bi then again you might not.As I said to Friend before you cycle and start getting bigger try moisturizing with cocoa butter it might help the elasticity of your skin and prevent your skin tearing around your bi
