Lots of BB's got tattoos.

By the way I think we had a great post about this a long time ago, try to do a search!!

No problem here just follow the care instructions after you get it and you shouldn't have any problems at all. Hope it is a tasteful one!!!!!!

Only thing I can think of related to bodybuilding is that if you get larger muscles.. it may stretch.. and vice versa.

I was thinking of going with mighty mouse. Since I am small, mighty mouse just seems to fit my personality. I cant find any pictures of a mighty mouse tattoo though?

A good tattoo place worth its weight will surely have one or can get one. If not, a comic book,or any pic of the Mighty one and they will put it on you from it.

My tatoo artist will take any picture and downsize it or redesign it to fit the person, also note that you can ask to see the sterlization equiptment and room before you get your tatoo. I did this at three places and finally went to a fourth place and it was clean and sterile. Good luck to you.

well there was a study i seen on a news program, it's not finished but the preliminary results show that later in life the ink can cause muscle and nerve deteriation.. too late for me...... this was dependant of various types of ink, i don't know how much i believe it, and don't care. i am getting new ink sometime this year

What about for competition? Do judges care about tatoos? Just curious.

Well, I have 2. I do wish I didn't have any, because you will find that at a competition, the competitiors are often very close, all have worked extremely hard or they wouldn't be up there. So, it would probably be best if there was nothing to distract a judge from your physique in any way. You have a mere matter of minutes on stage to show all your hard work. If I could redo things, I wouldn't have any. Just my feelings.

Try to create/draw your own. Do a rough sketch and then get the tattoo dude to help you w/it before the application.
This is how I did mine-no complaints, gets lots of compliments too.

I am still having trouble finding a place where I can look at tattoos and get ideas. I am not a creative person so drawing a custom tattoo probably isnt for me. Maybe I should have a friend draw up some cool designs and see if I like any.
