Do anyone have tattoos?
I do not have one, but I have not seen any #1 bodybuilders with tattoos.
If I had one would it affect the journey to the stage?

Seems like it would depend on what it was and if it took away from your look, what I mean is that onstage is the tattoo what everyone would remember or your physique? Most probably don't get one because they want people to focus only on thier bodies and not on anything else.

i think that it probably would affect it cause if none of them have any then chances are the best move would be not to get one bro if that's what you are tryin to pursue and everything...
What do you mean none of the top bodybuilders don't have tattoos? Most of them do. No Ronnie and Jay don't, but Wheeler, Levrone, Priest, Jackson, Yates and Cormier, just to name a few, do. It depends where they are and how big they are. A little one on your forearm isn't going to be a big deal, but a sleeve might hurt the judges seeing the definition in your arms.

Thank you all for the feedback.
I suppose something HUGE would not help me, but my friend wanted to know this, not me.
Thank you all.
Very helpful.

very true scals...didn't think thoroughly on that one...cause preist has that superman tat...yeah true...none of the biggest few don't have any tats...sorry about the wrong info bros...thanks for correctin me...
Priest has one on his face so could not matter to much.
well.... alot of guys from what i've heard, and girls too... they'l paint over the tats, like ge tthem airbrushed
ya im pretty sure they have contest spray tans that are so good you can conceal a tat. so it really isnt that big of a deal.
oh and speakin of priest i saw that thing on his face in person at the arnold....not sure about that one lol

i used the search funtion but didnt find this question exactly...in my future i am planning on competing and would like to no if tattoos play any part in the judges thoughts of your physic and if so is there any way to hide them for the show maybe with makeup or somthing...
i have two tattoos one on each side of my biceps and am planning on getting 4 more...2 on my traps and two on my chest...will that really hinder my future in this sport in any way...thanx yall
This is a good question....I have a tat on my right arm, (Black skull), and I am competing in the fall.
Would that, (having a tattoo) affect judging during competition and if so is there a way around it? Would tanning help?

i wanted my name acoss my shoulder....
I have 3, but when you put your color on you can barley see them. make sure you get your color spot on, and you will be good. Lots of top pro's have them, you just cant see them because there color is on point. Train hard. Peace.
