yeah i have two questions:
1) do tattoos get stretched from weightlifting,short-term and long-term?
2) if you just got a new tattoo, how long do you have to wait before you can lift again or do cardio?
thanks and i hope someone can help.

im not big enough to where my tattoos would stretch, but I just got one done a while ago, and i only waited like 3 days before i worked out. and its fine
 
One of mine unstretched a bit when I lost a bit off of the arms so I would assume works the other way a bit. After getting one, just make sure to apply the lotion your artist gives you before you workout and you'll be fine.
 
severe stretching of the skin can cause linework to 'blow out'...it basically spreads the scar tissue wider and makes the line a lot fatter, and fades the color.

I have a few on the inside of my bicep. not sure if doing too many heavy curls was the cause or not though.
 
Tattoos are so tight!! I want to get one but i fear what you guys are talking about heh. Ill wait till my whole transformation is done then maybe ill get one.
