http://imgur.com/DTJJF <- My Tatto! Thanks for the help everyone!

This is off topic so i guess i can start a thread about anything.

Getting an tattoo (a shark, same as my dad has) on my upper arm and later on, an G:Clef

18 yo
im 5,9 ft, and weigh 190 pounds(180 cm,85 kg)

^=im not the slimmest person

If i started working out after the tatoo is done, will there be any "damage"?
or anything noticable?

the tatoo's arent that big, max like 4 inch(10 cm) each, atleast what i think of as i write.

I know this is an hard question as you dont know how i look like, but hopefully someone could shed some light

Thanks.

There will always be some form of damage regardless of whether you gain or lose wait. I have two tattoos and got them on places where weight wouldn't make a difference to the general appearance of the tattoo.

You didn't mention where you're getting it though?

Just don't get it on your butt, my aunt did that, she got a wolf and now it looks like a bear that sags.

It depends on what kind of working out you do. If you lift weights and gain muscle mass there, then yes, there's a chance of it distorting the tattoo, because your skin will stretch. If it's on your shoulder, though, then you're more likely to be okay; it's a larger area so the skin won't stretch quite so much as if it were on your bicep.

I've got/am planning my tattoos for areas where I won't have to worry about that much - I've got one on my right collarbone right now, and I have plans for ones on the other side (left collarbone), the insides of my wrists, and my calf.
