    Being heavily tattooed myself, I can say that having a lot of full coverage tattoos can throw some things off. My arms measure close to the same size. However, the bigger arm looks smaller than the other. Mainly because the tattoos on my bigger arm are flowing down from shoulder to wrist, giving the illusion of a more narrow arm (kinda like the stripes on clothing mentioned above).

    Also, the more intricate detail, the harder it is to see how vascular you are. Up close, you can tell, but its harder the further back you are.

    Try and search some heavily tattooed bodybuilders. Of course, the leaner you are, the less of an issue any of this is.

    Good luck buddy.

    EDIT: Also, from another approach, you can design a tattoo to enhance a body part. For instance by creating a full back piece that will create the illusion of more of a V-taper.

    That arm tattoo kind of made me think of sort of a tattoo where it looks like the skin is peeled back so you can see muscle fibres and terminator cyborg skelleton metal.

    I think that might be what Lee Priest is going for in his new tattoo.

    I am going in today to start on a Bio mechanical tattoo on my side. The skin is ripping apart and inside there are gears,chains pistons and a few other things showing.

    When done by a very talented artist, these can look really cool.
