View Full Version : How badly can I expect a tattoo to stretch?

I've got a couple tattoos on my arms, and I'm starting to bodybuild. I'm not too worried about the tats getting bigger while I build up the muscles, but I've seen some guys with tattoos who stopped bodybuilding and man, their arms looked ugly. Does this often happen, when the skin around your arms sags after you've stopped working out for a couple months?

Mind, I don't plan on stopping with the training, but it's a mild concern, in case for some reason stopping becomes necessary.

You'd have to get pretty massive and then stop lifting for a long time for that kind oif distortion. I've got a 1/4 sleeve that looks absolutely fine. I'll let you know how it looks in a few years ;)

That's reassuring. Thanks.

Unless you are really going to juice up quickly and then stop and do nothing, dont worry about it. Mine have all been fine.
