To each his own. I personally don't want them all the way down my arms, which is why I wouldn't get them because at the end of the day, the tats are for me and not anyone else. Some people can definitely pull them off though. I'm sure I could too, but at this point in life I think I'd regret it later on. But maybe that will change!

 

I work from home right now so it's not an issue, but I'm hoping to get a new job soon. Likely have to actually go in to an office. Depending where the job is I can hopefully wear a short sleeve shirt. Tats are definitely more accepted now though than before. I just don't think I'd like anything lower than my elbow on myself

 

I’m getting my forearm covered up in 3 days. My last 2 jobs have been pretty cool about tats so

 

expanding off your owl? Whatcha getting?

 

Ohh I forgot

I didn't think I would either then for some reason I was on that damn table letting him do it. Ohh also my son got a full scholarship worth $289,000 and yes I sprung for his tattoo as well which was our family crest on his ribcage. I told him he might want to choose something that ages well.

 

That's the hardest part, finding something that ages well. I want to get something on my calf area, but it's kinda stupid so don't know if I really want to get it.

 

Nice I may get a predator eye on the inside of my bicep. Or finish the bottom of my arm with a couple of pups to symbolize my two sons.

 

That sounds like a pretty cool one right there with some solid meaning behind it.

 

Predator eye like this.

 

I know this is off topic but on the topic of suits and tats check out Ashlyn Harris on insta @ashlynharris24 she plays for the USWNT (backup though mostly) and in the NWSL for the Orlando Pride. This pic is a little old as I think she has a lot more now, but she frequently is wearing fashionable suits and showing off her tats. I am waiting for when she posts a pic with a chest piece....

 

I figure I will sleeve this one out and be done.

 

The owl is getting lonely. I’m really into mandala and geometric patterns so I’m gonna have that behind the owl. Then do the rest of my arm at a later time.

 

Yea she’s on it. Her work is solid.

 

How do tattoos affect your looks or whatever in comps? Do many competitors have tats?

 

Rad. Be sure to post some pics when it's all healed up

 

The spray tan is so heavy you can barely make them out most of the time.

 

Thats incredible!
Whats he studying?

 

Yes I was very excited to say the least and he's doubling up with Law and Finance.

 

that would be motivation to never quit working out, because that pred eye isnt going to look as good deflated......

 

I like that. I like quality body art, even if I am too chicken shit to get some of my own.

There is also something about women in wedding dresses with tats too. Just works well together.

Nice!
Thats a pretty good accomplishment to mark with a tattoo.

I just thought of this but is the tat going to impact your competing?
I really dont see many bodybuilders with tats.
