    Competition & Tattoo

    Hey guys!
    I'm fairly new to this, only 17 years old. I've decided to seriously start getting into shape in order to compete in fitness bodybuilding competitions, and I have been wanting a tattoo for the longest time. It's of huge importance to me, and since I compete in track and field, I was thinking of getting a phoenix tattoo in black and white on my right leg about two inches below my knee to where my ankle starts. I've heard that having a tattoo will have a seriously negative impact on judging if I compete with it. Is this true? Do you think I'd be allowed to cover it with makeup? Any help would be great

    Technically speaking, any tattoo that hides detail will hinder you.

    The area you're speaking of, as TTimmerman said, is not likely to be of any concern.

    Flex Lewis has a tattoo and he's the reigning and defending 212 Mr. Olympia Champion.

    Dorian Yates had a tattoo and he won 6 Mr. Olympia titles.

    Kevin Levrone had a tattoo on each of his forearms and was still FULL BLOWN, BABY. 100 DUMBBELL CURLS, IN YO' FACE.

    Too much of anything can turn into a bad thing but...don't worry about a single tattoo on your shin.

    Don't go too crazy, though.

    You'll be fine. The coloring etc also helps out a lot.

    Lee Priest for example won the Nabba overall last year and that guy is loaded in ink.
