I personally don't mind either way. I think that horribly designed tattoos would be a turn off, but other than that I don't mind whether or not a significant other has them.

Hi guys, I guess you could say I'm new here. I mean, I signed up in 2014 and made a couple of posts, but haven't really participated on the forum since then. But now I'm back and hope to make my stay last a wee bit longer than last time!

I definitely understand where you're coming from. I've thought about this for about a year--I'm just now making the commitment to do so.

Hello there! I have always wanted a tattoo, but I've never actually committed to getting one. I would like to get a 3/4 sleeve, but I'm still trying to determine what exactly the tattoo should be. I'm really leaning toward a cyborg sleeve (http://24.media.tumblr.com/9284561d5bd08147f7dbf16efaea1cc9/tumblr_mfm9opSUMP1qf1gzno1_500.jpg), but I have not fully made up my mind yet; right now I'm at 150lbs at 5'11 (currently working out and bulking to 200lbs) and one concern I have is distortion of the tattoo, but everything I've read has said that if you gain weight at a healthy rate, your tattoo should be perfectly fine. So that leaves me to a few questions: 1) Can tattoos be tattoo'd over? Like, if you got a tattoo and weren't satisfied with it after a year, could you tattoo over it and it still look great? 2) What is your experience with arm growth with sleeves? Should I be OK with growing arms? 3) Can someone please recommend some great tattoo artists in North Carolina (near Charlotte or Asheville) or South Carolina (near Spartanburg)? I'm not trying to step on toes, but some tattoo artists aren't very good at drawing up realistic looking tattoos and that's a very big deal for me; I want my tattoo to look as realistic as possible... not cartoony or poorly drawn. I don't care what the hourly rate is... I'll pay for quality. I really appreciate the help guys!
