well, now, such ain't always the case with the flabby folks. there are other factors at play. first, tattooing over stretch marks is a fiery bitch. not only does the process of tattooing chubby flesh take longer on its own than (i hate to use the word) 'normal' skin, but ink put in through stretch-marked skin adds even more chairtime and usually looks, well, pretty shitty. but ya know, the most important part, above all else, is that you shouldn't be dissuaded from the experience just because it might be a little tougher for you to get tattooed than somebody else. as long as ya stay open-minded, flexible, and patient, you'll be fine.

if ya go to this link (http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/bobbysink), you can take a look at some early pics when i first started gettin' inked. i think you hafta join the club to see 'em, but it only takes a second. i'd just attach the files, but for some reason, i can't figure it out.
