What are your thoughts on having a lot of tattoos and competing?
Currently at 6’2 256lbs.
Side is completely covered, full sleeve on arm, and starting another full sleeve on other arm at the end of this month. Is it worth even going on stage with this many tattoos (also have one on shin, upper back, traps) or is there tan color that can block these out?
-
You must really hate yourself to put so much crap on your body. Everything to look tough on Instagram I guess.

I do it because I like tattoos you fucking dweeb. Thanks for the useful answer

Too much is really not good on stage.

you will go a long way with that attitude on here

Speaking as a Judge it will very likely affect your placing
As they ruin Muscle definition & Generally look like Black Burn Marks all over
With the Tan on.
Stage Make up would likely cover them up - Again I doubt that would aid
or enhance muscle Definition - Might be worth a Try.

There is some kinda base layer that can be used to cover up tattoos. It doesn't look great, but it does exist.
How much or your torso is covered in tats? You can get away with tattooed forearms, calves and to some extent arms. After that it becomes more of an issue.

Thanks for your response.
My torso is covered from my armpit to just under my hip. It’s pretty dark but doesn’t cover abs.
I rarely see guys with two full sleeves and that was my main concern.
Not planning to get my back chest or legs covered.

Be even better if you get your whole face covered in tatts to go along with all the useless ones you have now

Don’t worry old timer! You will have plenty of liver spots showing when you get older. Maybe you can refer to them as your “works of art”

I enjoy having them. It’s a different look once you start accumulating a lot and definitely another form of body dysmorphia.
I can understand why bodybuilders dislike them, but there are quite a few getting covered these days, however they usually aren’t olympia athletes or at that level.

When was the last time you interviewed for a job? no one cares, most tattoos aren’t visible anyway. Hell the last interview I went on, I was made fun of for wearing a suit, that was for Swiss re, not a tiny company

What rock do you live under? Women love tattoos. The boring ones are usually against them usually due to the sheer amount of inbreeding done in their family.

Does anyone remember that moron from the muscular development forum days? Where he literally had a helmet and body armour tatted on his skin.
It wasn’t even a tattoos just basically black ink that blacked out his skin.
I wonder if he’s successfully employed or dead.

Yes. His name was something like tattoo Timmy.
He got cast in some low budget religious movie which then got edited into a blasphemous anti islam movie. He and the whole cast had a fatwa or some other kind of death threats issued against them. He's been laying low since.

BB is 10x more retarded than anyone getting some ink. Very ghey activity. Drug up, stuff food, shit pants, pose for screaming men in a thing, etc.

Hard to lay low looking like that.

Im not a bodybuilding judge but I don't see how it wouldn't negatively affect your scores. If you look like shit you're gonna look like shit, tattoos or not. But if you're in great shape and your in a tight contest with another guy who's in great shape but not covered in tattoos; I think it is a lot easier to see the definition, quality etc.
I mean skin tone plays a part. Thats why having an even tan is important. Having a bunch of big blotchy marks all over your body can't be optimal in a contest judged on appearance. But again, im not a judge.
-
If you have the Genetics/ Mental Toughness /Fortitude and Discipline to turn “Pro” then they are a horrible idea! …..if not then you are fine/ not a big deal!

He’s my entry for the dead pool of 2022.
Fingers crossed.

Pointless,
Why don the thong and place last.
Save your money
The least of your worries is the ink. I think the lack of physique is the reasons judges will look past you not the ink.

I would be going for classic but I’m leaning more towards it’s not worth the money like you said.

Look good,
Busting your chops aside.
If you have the money and it’s just a hobby do it.
But if it’s financial strain I wouldn’t bother for a plastic trophy and fart powder sample.
Im sure other competitors will echo the same statements
-

Arms look good even with the tatoos. I'd stop there. Also, you look really big and balanced. No homo. Why classic?

Also, you look really big and balanced.
Let's not jump to conclusions, Abe.
We haven't seen the whole "package", yet.

I never got a “ fart powder sample!” 😔😡
-
Thanks guys. I already booked apts to get my other arm done. It shouldn’t be too dark and by the time i’d ever step on stage it would be a few years from now so some fading should help. I also tan a lot so they’re a bit faded. Here’s a front shot (I know these aren’t the best quality). Still have a lot to improve on especially in these wider poses.
-
Looking pretty solid dude.
How much you weigh?

Tattoos are for cookie cutters plain and simple.

In hindsight, I probably should have omitted the "no homo". (no homo)
-

Thanks. I’m sitting around 258 before bed and 254-255 upon waking.
I need to work on a few areas that are severely lacking but was curious about how tattoos might affect placing.

That's very very clearly a Big Sign of severe Mental Issues
It is the ultimate example of antisocial behavior (Don't like my tattooed face? Fuck you!)
I must say that I've seen more people in recent years with very visible tattoos, piercings and hair which looks like it was colored with crayons or permanent markers. A middle aged woman who was just ahead of me in the checkout line at the market the other day had long wavy dark green hair that looked like she poured motor oil on it and then rolled in the mud. She was wearing a color matched skirt with black leggings... how very fashionable! ::)

Just doesn’t seem original anymore, lots of athletes, collegiate, pros, even high school, nothing really stands out, at least Mike Tyson was original when he got his decades ago, same for Dennis Rodman
It’s not even a young vs old thing, take a look around, you see older mid life crisis guys have them, look the same too, and bald too

That’s a fair point.
Down here it’s radiation central and Ozzie skin gets brutalised quickly. I asked my skin cancer clinic about the impact of Tatts on their ability to spot BCC and they said yes it makes it more difficult but it isn’t going to prevent them seeing them, they just need to go slower and look harder.
Legs Tatts are the popular thing on young people where I live. Particularly young girls, they get big ones on their legs. I see leg tatts far more frequently than arm tatts.

When I was a kid growing up, anyone with a tattoo was suspect. A tattoo was something sailors got and later regretted. So naturally, it never occurred to me to get one. My how times have changed.
When she was 20 years old my daughter got a tiny ring of daisies tattooed on her upper arm. Not sure how long she had it and hid it from her mom and me. Surprise, surprise, we were both fine with it. A few years later after she was married, she got a small Kanji tattoo on the back of her neck which was one line that was maybe 2" long, if that. I secretly hoped it wasn't going to become the second of many, but I never told her that. And it didn't. Those are the only tattoos she has.
My son is 9 years older than his sister. He is retired career military. He has no tattoos, nor does my daughter-in-law. At least three of my four grandchildren have tattoos none of which are on their faces. All of which are modest by today's standards. My son-in-law has a few very interesting tattoos which being an artist, he designed and had done. While in the military, he used his talents to design tattoos for military personal who asked for them. He even learned the art of tattooing and bought the equipment. Not sure how many if any tattoos he did.
I've seen a lot of guys at the gym who decided when they were probably in their 40's and 50's to get full sleeves and more. Maybe it the thing when guys and gals are going through mid-life crisis. Or maybe they figured by that age they've earned the right to do it.
Although I think many tattoos look really cool on people, I never got one. Maybe it was my mom's voice in my head telling me how déclassé they were. LOL.

No shit! As we age our bodies and skin look worse and worse. Tatts actually make a person look better as they age.

Fortunately for me the skin on my arms and hands does not have age spots. This is a bit surprising since I have spent a goodly amount of time in the sun. I see a dermatologist twice a year. He checks my skin for signs of cancer, freezes a couple of spots on my forehead and bald scalp and sends me on my way. Just lately, I noticed some loss of elasticity. Staying hydrated seems to help with this.

Yes, Prime, I'm sure you looked like a paragon of aristocratic decorum as you minced around gay clubs with your emaciated body and undescended testicles squeezed into a Boy Scouts costume. Get in the bin, you blethering old queen.

your comment says more about you than prime
I wasn't the one posting "Maybe it was my mom's voice in my head telling me how déclassé they were."
In case you can't put it together, I'll do it for you.
The same guy that was a career janitor wouldn't get a tattoo as he feels it is for the lower classes and/or would lower his social status. A janitor who is a bit of snob, who knew such things existed.
what is wrong with being a janitor
I don't think there is anything wrong with being a janitor, but I do think there is something wrong with being a career janitor.

The head porter in our building died 4 months ago after 30 years of service, former residents flew in from as far as South Africa for his funeral, we planted a tree along with little notes telling him how much he meant to all of us in our courtyard along with a plaque in his memory. As long as the building is up people will know his name. He was well respected and loved, he also died a millionaire as he had a union job making well over $120,000 a year towards the end on top of heavily discounted apt in the building . Any job done well should be respected, no matter how menial you think it is

How exactly does that relate to what I said?
Did your guy start off as a janitor and work his way up to head porter? If that's the case then good for him for climbing the ladder and not being content with a janitorial role.
Also have you worked as a porter/head porter of your building? Kinda disrespectful of you to just assume it's menial job especially if you've never actually done it.

He was the head janitor, porter was just what the union title for the job, it was the same job. I called it menial in response to you saying there was something wrong being a career janitor, i don't think any job is menial, certainly not after the pandemic where grocery store workers mattered to me more than idk my ceo
-
What’s wrong with it?
I don't think anyone should make a career out of a service job in general as it shows a lack of ambition. There are of course exceptions. People with some kinda learning difficulty, disability or if there is a language barrier issue.
And back to my original point. Someone who has made a service job a career really needs to check themselves before acting like a snob as there will always be a bigger snob.

I called it menial in response to you saying there was something wrong being a career janitor, i don't think any job is menial, certainly not after the pandemic where grocery store workers mattered to me more than idk my ceo
I also said "I don't think there is anything wrong with being a janitor". What's your response to that?
A career janitor and a janitor would basically be doing the same job. Did you think I was saying one is menial and one isn't?

The one thing I am against doing to myself is getting a bunch of random ones in different places.
I think if you're going to get a lot of tattoos, then go all out on a body part and go with a good artist even if it costs a lot.
My sleeve was just about $7k when finished but I've also heard of people paying much more.
Tattoos definitely doesn't equal poor anymore.
I work in a corporate environment and tons of people have them now.

you seem to have embarked on a hole digging career here
I'm enjoying shutting down all the white knights who are leaping to their own conclusions. Probably because what I say touches close to home or they just like to get on their soapbox. Which are you?
As for careers. I never had one, only jobs including service ones, but I'm retired now. I'm still under 40 though so still not too late to make a go of hole digging.

I have a tatoo on my pecker that say TIM......when I get a hard on it says Massachusettes Institute Of Technology !
:) ;)

I don't think anyone should make a career out of a service job in general as it shows a lack of ambition. There are of course exceptions. People with some kinda learning difficulty, disability or if there is a language barrier issue.
And back to my original point. Someone who has made a service job a career really needs to check themselves before acting like a snob as there will always be a bigger snob.
One's career isnt the only avenue through which to channel one's ambition. Providing a clean facility for the occupants is more useful and honorable than half of the jobs in tech, finance, or politics.
And regarding your original point, i dont think anyone should act like a snob. Pride goeth before the fall, as they say

Thanks. I’m sitting around 258 before bed and 254-255 upon waking.
I need to work on a few areas that are severely lacking but was curious about how tattoos might affect placing.
We all have a few lacking areas. I never had the arm genetics to go far in BBing, so i gave it up rather quickly and focused on powerlifting.
I think tats definately ruin the flow and definition, but if Bbing is just a hobby then who really cares?
A lot of guys are tatted up these days.
I work in a corporate environment and tats are pretty common today, mainly for the 40 and under crowd. This lady that works for me is covered in tats and had bright red hair the day i interviewed her. It was a last-minute interview and she kept apologizing for the hair color; i just laughed and said i thought it look good.
She's one of the best engineers i've had on my staff in 10 years.
I'm not a fan of face tats and piercings to be honest, but in todays world having some tats on your body is not a big deal. It's usually the older more conservative crowd that see them as a negative, because many years ago tats were associated with criminals and low class people, which is absolutely not true anymore.
This Architect i used to do a lot of projects with has full sleeves and his entire chest, shoulders and back area covered in old medieval dragons and shit. Looks insane. You would never really know, but i went to a pool party at his house years ago and saw the art work. Some of the best stuff i've seen.

Testify sounds like quite the badass.

Yes I agree. A career doesn't even need to be something that pays the bills (a job). But staying in the same service job and making it your career is what shows a lack of ambition.
For all the shit some of us like to give Goodrum he is a great example of someone who did service jobs to pay the bills, but didn't make a career of it and doesn't lack ambition.

That’s incredible. I tend to heavily agree with the no face, hands, or even neck tattoos for me personally. I like to be able to cover things up when I need to.
This guy I work with is covered in them and is also one of the best architects i’ve ever worked with (work in IT security). It’s going to be interesting when the management positions start getting filled up by millennials.
I’m in the same boat as far as genetics go and have entertained possibly competing, but don’t have the genetics to go very far. Tattoos definitely ruin the flow as well however I would personally rather do what I want than try to please judges anyway.
I appreciate everyone’s responses in this thread (especially from the guy who judges). It’s helped a lot.

Be sure to send cock pics to OMR, Prime and Matt C. That is if you want to be fairly critiqued. A jerk off video including the money shot is a great way to get extra credit.

Making $120k + union benefits + tips from Residue for opening doors and sweeping up is not bad at all.
Must have worked himself up from Assistant to the Assistant Porter.

Liz Windsor have the same service job for decades
She performed a role she was born into and stayed there. That's pretty much the definition of lack of ambition.
Under her watch several countries also left the commonwealth, so you could easily argue that not only did she lack ambition but she also did a shit job.

Sadhguru. At least I've only heard it from him.
Don't be fooled by his look and attire. He is a highly intelligent and educated yogi. Still a charlatan IMO

This is the actual qoute.
"Intelligent people do what they love to do. They enjoy their life to some extent. But a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully. That’s when your genius flowers because it’s no more about you."

The qoute was posted on his twitter in 2018 and it linked to the same video as your insta link. https://twitter.com/sadhgurujv/status/1039801448010153989?lang=en
Even in your insta link he's not saying what you quoted

Exactly- Good physique- Yet that Tattoo adds Zero & infact is major distraction
Even from a short distance it'd look like a black patch on his leg , how does anyone see that as Improvement
/ positive .
Also plain to see how it blurs the definition & muscle shape compared to other lower leg.
🤷🏻♂️

as an observer the eye just keeps getting drawn to it and if you are doing that then you are not looking at the rest of him

I completely agree. IMO he needs more to balance out the one tattoo ;D

Yes - Hopefully He will cover the front of his left Thigh & the entire inside of his left arm & torso - He'll be guaranteed a Mr Olympia Trophy
More Tattoo's are His Biggest weak point to Winning. ;D

You can’t just get a big dark piece like that unless it’s on your forearm. I give him a few more years and he will have more.
