Tattoos....

I have finalised my tattoo design, it took me about 2 months to complete and refine, and the only thing I need to do now is actually get it.

However, I was wandering the extent to which tattoos change with your body? I am getting it on my upper arm, but I have also just started getting fit and have lost a lot of weight and have started to build muscle. If I get a tattoo and my arms become more muscular, will it distort the tattoo?

If it would, I'd probably wait a few years until I was the size/shape I wanna be.

No i dont think it would.. the only way they distort is if you put alot of weight on very quicky, for example get pregnant anything which causes strechmarks. Its cos the skins just streches too quick.. if its a slow build up it should strech too much.. I think it might be worth get professional advice from the tattoo place were you plan to go they will be able to give you proper advice.
