Tattoos Damage Muscle

A tatto is an important fashion statement for many people in the X and Y generations. Also, looking buff is a modern prerequisite of sexuality. For some unlucky people, tattoos and shapely muscles don't mix. Dr. Israel Steiner and colleagues from Hadassah Univeristy Hospital in Israel reported case studies of three men who got tattoos and had major side effects. The tattoos caused them to lose muscle mass in their upper bodies! Two of the three men also suffered permanent nerve damage. The researchers speculated that the pigment contained a toxic substance that poisoned their muscles. While this side effect of tattooing is rare, people should be aware that is could happen. After all, what good is a tattoo of a mighty dragon if it's drawn over wimpy muscles? (Annals Int Med 133:158, 2000)

Don't flame me, im just stating the facts

I have a shoulder piece, an upper arm band, and a chest piece. Never had any problems with my tatts getting stretched. My stretch marks are getting really close to the one on my chest though and kind of taking away from it.

Providing you go to a GOOD artist you won't have any problems. A tribal band huh? Tell you what, go to the shop and look around. Everybody,except me, has one of those. Pick out something you can live with forever or bring a drawing to the artist. A GOOD artist will be into this, a shiity artist won't give a fuck. Oh yeah, It hurts! But I can't stop.
