I have 4 tats...so im not against them but I think if you're going to compete it takes away from your physique...I know when I've been to competitions my eyes tend to be drawn to the tatoos and distract me from looking at their bodies. they are up on stage for such a short amount of time that I feel like I missed it....but im not a judge nor a competitor. Strictly in the crowd as a spectator so this is just my 2 cents as a fan.

I personally have several and currently compete at a amateur level...so many of the amateur females I see still have their tattoos visible. I have mine placed where they will still allow my middle & upper back, arms and legs to show with little distraction....to each is own ..

My skin is too pretty to muck it up with ink.

Seems like everybody and their dog has a tat these days. I'll stay unique and tat free thank you but to each his own.
