    ok heres my idea, basically to take the abbey road picture, just the silhouette where they are white and the road is black and white, inverse the colors so they are black and all the road panals switch colors. Then have it tattooed all the way around my upper arm connecting.

    Was just wondering if there is any artists who could tell me if this would work. This will be my first tattoo, Thank you very much in advance for any input. Also, i work out quite frequently, about 5-6 days a week. Seeing as how this will be on my bicep/tricep area, is there a certain amount of time i should wait to begin working out that area again, also if the muscles grow, which they will i work out enough, will this tat get warper, stretched, distorted, anything like that from muscle growth around in the biceps and triceps? and seeing as how this will be my first tattoo, anything else anyone can tell me, advice, suggestions, greatly appreciated! TY!

    Well it’s definitely going to warp.. there will be new bumps and bends in the road ๐Ÿ™‚

    There’s a fine discussion on exercise and tattoos in this thread.

    To quote Matthew:

    Muscle exercise that stretches or twists the tattooed area should be left alone for at least 7 days so not to tear the skin.

    It is advisable to avoid any strenuous exercise on the area for 4 weeks and no swimming pools or saunas steam rooms until it has peeled.

    Hi Knives

    What the post is relation to is anything that is going to cause friction against the tattoo (can tear the scab) or tearing muscle.
    If you do normal weights ease off on the affected area for a week to give it time to heal.

    The issue of warping depends on whether you are going to use steroids (or already are). That is the sort of bulk that would be needed to warp your tattoo.

    That said if you are using them it will also leave you with acne a small penis and the testorone levels of a 12 year old girl if you are lucky – heart or liver failure if you are not – so build it up naturally. ๐Ÿ™‚

    As for the tattoo the pic did not work for me but I know the design.

    My only concern is that white does not make a good ink for large patches of skin as it has a tendency to fade really rapidly.

    You may have to consider a black and shade version with white highlights.

    Take Care

    NONO NO STEROIDS LOL! ok so one week off weights, thats alright. Ok and as for the white, im inversing the colors, so they are black, and where the white strips of road would be, im just planning on leaving that as skin, not coloring it at all, so no white in the tattoo at all. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi

    That will work well as a tattoo – what inspired it?
    Are you a big Beatles fan?

    Take Care
