are tattoos bad???

Mr.Olympia Dorian Yates has a huge tattoo all over his forearm, other top Pros such as Chris Cormier, Flex Wheeler as well as Lee Priest all have tottoos. So don't worry about it unless you have your entire back covered :) .o0 Arnold 0o.

What happens if you get a tat on your big muscular arm, then, maybe 10 years from now, you no longer body build for competition? Your arm will shrink, and your tat will be a mushed. Or, you could have not reached your potential yet. You get a tat on you, then as your muscles grow, it gets all stretched out, or even worse, gets stretch marks running through it! Just something to consider. I personally have 6 tattoos, but I won't be competing anytime soon ;).
