Male chest tattoo; question about the chest hair

LD 50

Im thinking of getting a tattoo on my chest. I have dark chest hair, its not thick where I want it, and the sizing I go with but it might regrow and start to cover it a little.
I know it'll get shaved by the artist, but I wanted to know how others guys tattoos on their chest look, or what they think now after the hair has regrown.

I'm the same I have a wolf on my chest which now looks like a long haired german Shepard
Only way is to shave it all if you want to show it
When he shaves it it will grow back thicker aswell
Suppose if it's a full chest piece then you may aswell shave it all off and keep at it or laser
Sorry cant be more help

If it's a big piece the ink will show clearly through the hair, mine does anyway.

My OH has a pirate ship on his hairy chest and it looks like it's hidden in fog

You'll still see it regardless, it's just personal preference whether you choose to keep up the shaving

My mate has a large chest piece and tbh once you're looking at the tattoo, you tend to not notice the chest hair too much. It doesn't seem to affect the appearance, anyway. Like someone said, you could always keep shaving it if you wanted to.

Just to point out, a poster said the hair grows back thicker when you shave - it doesn't. It grows back with a blunt edge, making it look thicker, but isn't actually thicker. So don't worry about developing a small forest on your chest if you do decide to shave. :pac:
