Shouldn't. My boyfriend got his tattoo on his arm 18 years ago when his arms were 9" around. Now hes at 18" and it looks exactly the same.

getting bigger is not really a problem but, losing weight can be.

i know a guy got into the steroids in the late 80s, he got very big and his tats looked fine. after stopping the steriods and working out and getting into the rave scene in the early nineties, he lost loads of weight and as a result ended up with saggy skin. his tats ( not all ) like the ones on his triceps look crappy now but his bicep one looks ok still.

i would imagine a rib or belly tat may suffer with sagging also.

i know its not really what you asked but, i thought it may be of interest to you.
