    Nearly 21 and for the 21st present for parents i am getting first tattoo !!!!
    Thinkin Tribal one from shouder elbow .something in that line anyways!
    What i want to know is I am working out in the gym the past year and half over that time my arms grew and lost some size when i coulnt train and have gained size again . If i say get tatoo and arms grow more or shrink little will it effect the look of tattoo?

    Also id like your opinions on tribal Piecies and what ye have or like !
    Always gud know whats out there !

    Hey,I douth you need to worry about your arms growing and shrinking affecting the tattoo (unless you're the hulk!). Personally I'm not into tribal,although I do have some. But it's completely what YOU like that's important. Talk to artists,check out their work,use the Internet.

    I've a tribal on right shoulder,a cross on neck,dragon on my back, a small classic pin up on my calf and my most recent is a tradational 'girl head' with a rose and old style clock. I got that done last week in limerick by an American tattooer called Chad Koeplinger and I'm dead happy with it. I personally love American traditional/neo traditional style. My next will be a full sleeve. As I say,it's about what you want and not what others tell you is cool. Find a good reputable studio.
