Myth or Fact?

Ive been wanting to get a tattoo for a few years now. I was talkin to my friend about it and he told me that if I would get a tattoo now, b/c of lifting and since ill be getting bigger the tattoo will eventually look smaller...is this true?

it'd probably the complete opposite. since your body would be getting larger, your skin would expand, and the tattoo would stretch out. alot of the pro bodybuilders have tattoo's and they really don't look too bad on them, and their bodies grow faster than the majority of people with tats.

so unless you plan on gaining 75 pounds, you probably shouldn't worry that much

I heard that if you get a tat, you can't give blood to hospitals and stuff, anyone know if this is real?

Im pretty sure you have to wait a minimum of one year after getting a new tattoo, before you can give blood
