Tattoos and bodyfat
ad
Has anyone got a tattoo with around 5% body fat? And would it cause the skin the rip easier since its more thin?

hey man,you will be fine,you might get a lil more pain from it with such a low bf%(alot more nerves exposed so to speak) but other then that your good to go.its not gonna tear your skin or anything like that,your not gonna bleed more.the needle only goes in about 3/16th of an inch.
I can tell you the tattoo on my back i got when i was 14 and probably around 5-6% bf looked like vomit on my back after hitting puberty and gaining about 70lbs. Got a cover up when i was about 20.
I know alot of people are into tat's i'm not putting anyone down, but IMO, no matter what you get and how nice it looks today it will eventually look like s#*t one day. I'm glad I never got more.
AnonI think thats good advice
This isn't really true for everyone. Just because you did it and it didn't work out for you doesn't make it the case for everyone. I have tattoos in places that stretched a lot while I was pregnant. I have put on 70 lbs and lost 70 lbs. My tattoos look exactly the same.
AnonI loled. If you put on 70 then lost 70 of course it;s gonna look about or exactly the same because your skin has been stretched then the same amount from returning to original size. I got a chest tattoo that has slightly stretched wider just from me putting on 10kg.
Im covered. Parts where you'd normally get stretchmarks....yup. The rest shrinks n swells with the body.
StevebThat all depends on the tattoo you get
im sure your artist will let you know...if you hydrate you should be fine...with that being said i got most of my tattoos when i was like 15-18% and still bled a lot so dont know for sure
