How do you guys look at this? I have tattooes and love competing and I know that some judges hold that against competitors which is a shame.
Tattooes and bodybuilding...

I know when I compete I try to get as dark as my tattooes that way their not so obvious. It's impossible, but the darker I can get, the less prominant they look. I don't mind them (obviously), but I know Gary Udit for one hates them and luckily for me, he's the host of the Pittsburgh and that's the big show around here. And he's a judge at the Upper Ohio Valley and I believe the Fankhouser as well
The only thing I can say is that if they are distracting judges and bodybuilding is your life I don't know if I would do it. I guess if your priority is bodybuilding don't get a tattoo that is going to be somewhere that is going to construe striation or make it hard for a judge to see definition. My two cents. Its your body though.

i always loved tats and got a few before a started bodybuilding... i then decided to stop becasue it does take away from your detail on stage.
when i decide to stop im gonna become lizard man
as for it in the sport of bodybuilding thats a tough call... i dnt frown upon it , but some judges do. if you had 2 guys on stage with the same exact physquie i think the judges would give it to the non- tated guy

I agree with that. Luckily, mine aren't huge or in a spot where they take anything away. I have both rib cages tattooed and each arm and one on my stomach, but none are huge. I have one on my arm that kind of makes my tricep look better because of the detail it brings to the little tail at the bottom of the tricep towards the elbow
