Tattoos and muscle mass

Totally off topic...sort of. I hope this is the right place to post.

I am thinking of getting a tattoo on my left inner bicep, but it's kind of big so it will curve around my arm a little. Do any of you have a similar tattoo, and has it stretched or changed a lot as you get more toned? I am quite small boned and I don't plan on becoming a body builder or anything, so we're not talking enormous muscle mass here, but still.

    If its a little muscle mass, wouldn't notice any difference really, Just make sure you get a good tattooist, that uses good ink that wont fade ink.

    I always tried to put on as much mass as possible before I got my tattoo just in case. Would worry more about sun what causes tattoo to fade.

    But bottom of line, just make sure ink is good :)

    I've noticed no difference in any of mine, they fade naturally but my oldest haven't changed in nearly 20 years and I've changed a lot

    I'm not massive though so not sure what happens if you get big, reading what you've put I don't think it will matter

    (let us see the tat when its done too :) )

    Awesome, thanks! My tattoo artist is amazing but I only have one on my wrist so far (which isn't really going to change a whole lot either way lol) so that's why I ask. Now to save for it :P

    This piece is over twenty-years old. I've upsized and downsized (gained/loss muscle) several times. Key is to keep it out of the sun, which I have not always done.

    I agree with the others; I don't think it will make any difference with it being on your arm. Being women unless you were planning on becoming a body builder a little bit of a toned arm won't do anything. If it was your middle that would be a different story with having kids etc or losing a lot of weight if you were extremely large.

    What are you thinking of getting?

    Cool, that does look really good!

    Yeah that's true. Haha I doubt I would ever get one around my middle, just in case...not that I plan on gaining a lot of weight, but with future pregnancy/stretching I feel like that's not the best idea.

    I really want this on my inner bicep, obviously bigger so that there's no feathering:
