So I've really been wanting to get this tattoo for a while now, but I'm worried because I'm still new to the game and for the past year and a half all I've done is grow. Im thinking that if a keep gettin bigger the thing will end up looking stupid. Anybody here had any problems with tattoos, or has it worked out?

not sure how old you are but when i was 18-19 i got letters across my back and now those letters are inside a banner and have stars all around them because of how small it was starting to look - thats the great thing about tats you can always add more and more and more and more

Tattoos will stretch a lot before they become distorted. I got my first one when i was 18yrs old and 152lbs. 10yrs and 50lbs later it still looks fine. Also my wife had one on her hip but kinda on the side of her belly and she had a kid 7 months ago and it looks just like it did before the kid.

You wont have any problems my man. I have my entire left pec done that goes down into a half sleeve. I have grown a good amount since then .. No worries.

Agreed. I have my right shoulder and right pec done. The shoulder was done back when I was 19, at around 190lbs. I got up to 235 at one point and it still looked fine. INK UP!
the funny thing will be that it looks like you paid more when it stretches out

I appreciate it my man. My tattoo artist is absolutely awesome. He is so detailed and so precise that its unbelievable. I have actually seen him turn away appointments because he doesnt think in 10 years it will still look good. He looks at it as art that he wants to last for years, not just work that will last a few months. Really good guy.

Yep! I remember you telling me the story while we were chowing down....defintely want that kind of mentality from my next tattoo artist. When im ready i might need his business card.
