Stretching tatoos?

j2hig

Right, basically i have been in love with tatoos since i was 7 or 8 and have being considering gettin one for the last 2 years. My only fear is that i am 18 and my body has yet to fill out fully yet (hopefully!)

So is it worth gettin a tattoo now or will it just stretch as my body grows more and if so how significant will the stretchin be?

I got 2 of mine at 18 and I've lost alot of weight and bulked up muscle instead of fat and mine look the same

I got one on the side of my stomach and have become a tub of goo and parts of mine have mishapen somewhat.

depends on the area

Calf muscle is very hard to lose once its built so that shouldn be a problem, shoulders...dont really get fat/massive unless your into body building. Stomach is where wills awesome tatt is

I take it ur a guy, if u were female i would recommend u wait till after u have had kids cause ur body will stretch everywhere and then hopefully shrink back down and the tat could look crap after it, i waited till after i had my kids cause i seen how a mate looked, she looked like a printed balloon that had been blown to full capasity and then the air let out, the tat looked crap......

Every body is different, same as every person is different

good luck with the inking
