pro bodybuilders/fitness models and tattoos?

[numba1scrapper]

soo I kinda wanna get another tattoo. I've got one now, but its not huge and its on my upper back/neck where I dont think it would effect posting and what not.. The new tattoo im considering would be on my shoulder going down to my elbo..

my long term goal is to do some fitness modeling and hell if my genetics stay with me compete in some bodybuilding comps.

Question is, will having tatts effect the chances of being successful in either of these goals? I dont see TOO many bb'ers with tattss and have heard many people like you to be tattless.

as far as bbing competitions, tats in general wont effect u negatively. Many guys, pro and top amateurs have tats. I think back in the day it was looked down upon, but many good bbers have them now. The exception being very large tatoos or tatoos that r brightly colored or something. I just watched a show a few weeks ago and this guy had a upper back and shoulder to elbow, 1 big tatoo and it was a dark green. Even with his spray tan, the tat fucked up his whole physique because the coloring, for some reason, made it so u couldnt see any definition whatsoever. The tat distorted the whole physique that it covered.

and I would think if u are trying to be any kind of model the tatoos wouldnt really help. Although if its something smaller, and not crazy looking, probably would be alright. They are fairly well accepted these days.
