Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have a quick question. I am getting a tattoo soon on my arm and its going to be a tribal band. Is it best to get the tattoo when I get bigger or can I get it now when i have no size at all and than get big after its done? I guess what i am asking is will the tattoo get messed up if i get it now with little arms like 13"-14" and than i get larger arms from lifting hopfully around 16"-18"?

For some, I agree.
For me, I definitely disagree. It's about being intelligent about where your life is going. I wanted to wait until I really understood what the working world in my industry was like, for fear that a tattoo "could" potentially be an issue somewhere, somehow. Because I had that foresight, I now understand this industry and its culture.
Don't get a tattoo that is now. Get something that is you. I got mine designed for me yes it is a butterfly but it represented a coming of age, it sits on a trillium flower which is my provincial flower. It grows only in the wild here and it is illegal to pick it. So what I am getting at is everything in it has a meaning to me. One of my best friends did a water colour painting of my idea and I brought that to the artist who recreated it as a tattoo for me. I have had it for almost 2 years and not once have I regretted it. I love it today just as much if not more then when I first go it.ZenX said:
As for your original question yes wait tell you get bigger as it will defiantly change that look of that tattoo.

Most tats do better expanding vs contracting with the skin.
The more detail it has in it, the more chance it will get whacked
by stretching either way.
Think about something that is important to you. You aren't in a tribe I bet..
Something that when you look at your tat every day, reminds you of something.
Something that will always be important to you for the next 50-60 years hopefully.
People that like the ocean or water do that sort of thing, people that are religious
go with a reminder of that stuff.
Or you can simply wait until that something comes along. Maybe a child later on or a memorial tat etc. Don't get one just to get one without a true reason and a well thought out design.
Most of the tats done for the hell of it are hated years later.

Word! Something unique. The only tat I still like is my sprig of cherries on my ankle since I designed it and it really says something about me.
I'm saving money for next year to get the lower back tat removed since it is so playd. By '04 it was the official chick uniform. The lame assed tribal chick oooh look at my booty lower back tat. :groan: I havent displayed it since summer '03.
