TATOOS

I want to get a tatoo, but I have a couple of questions for those who have a tatoo or are tatoo artists.
1 - I work out alot, im affraid that if i get a tatoo, will there be a chance that the tatoo will stretch if my arms get bigger?
2 - I want a tatoo thats black, and i want it to stay black and not fade away, will it fade away?
3 - I sometimes bruise easily, if i get it, my arm might bruise, im affraid that the bruises wont go away (lol you can laugh at me).

I’m a tatoo artist, so here goes. Unless you take steroids, you won’t have a problem with distortion. The only time a tatoo will really stretch or distort is if you get stretch marks. So like i said, unless you take steroids, you won’t stretch it.

As far as a tatoo fading, you must limit your exposure to the sun or use a high spf (50 or so) sunscreen. Nothing will fade out your tatoos faster than the sun or tanning beds. Tatoos do generally fade out over time. If you take really good care of them, you shouldn’t need a retouch for another 20 years or so.

If you do bruise from the tatoo process, it will go away. It’s a rare occurence, even for people who bruise easily.

One more thing, if you have any more questions, consult a tatoo artist and not someone who has just received a tatoo. Alot of people think they know everything about the tatoo process because they have gotten a tatoo. It’s really not the case. There are alot of myths that are spread about tatooing because of people making guesses and assuming they know things just because they’ve been tatooed. I even see wrong answers about your question. So go see an artist. Enjoy and good luck.
