    In the first pic the stretch marks almost look like a claw mark. Like you got in a fight with a tiger and lived to tell the story.

    If you go for a tattoo, put some thought & research in. Choose a good tattoo artist. Discuss w/ him or her what you want and have them do a rendering. You'll probably need to put a downpayment in for their time on that. It will be worth it. If it turns out you're not happy with their skill or artistic insight, it will be money well spent to know you need to find someone else.


    Here are my daughter's tattoos. The forest/moon tat hides a scar - it is under one of the trees. She is 20 now but when she was about 11-12 she thought it would be a good idea to use an empty glass aquarium (upside down) to use as a stool to reach something on a high shelf. She was wrong.

    Stumbled up on a before picture (which I thought I deleted) 😐 taken me a good few hours to pluck up the courage to upload this. But this is something I needed to do for myself.

    At my heaviest 232lbs and at the peak of my very unhealthy lifestyle

    I am so glad I actioned getting in shape when I did! Kind of a massive motivational boost when I look at it now

    Damn dude! That's a serious transformation there! Nice work, man! Congrats on the accomplishment!

    I mean, a few stretch marks that will probably get better over time versus the before? Yeah that's a win... :)

    Stretch marks or no, hair or no, you just look fit, healthy and pretty hot to me. You are overthinking it, there is nothing for you to be concerned about, you have done a brilliant job in getting into really good shape. You should be very proud of yourself.

    Gotta say, the photo with the hair makes them impossible to see. If anything, between the muscle and leanness, the hair, and the fact that scars on guys can look sexy. I wouldn’t change a thing or give it a second thought. Keep doing what you’re doing. The results are super impressive. 👏👏

    My daughter has some scars on her arms and wrists from self-harming when she was a teenager.

    She doesn't like them but she doesn't hide them either. They are part of who she is now and a sign of how far she has come. If people notice and enquire she explains them honestly and without shame.

    You have made a remarkable transformation, be proud of your battle scars as they tell a good story.
