Fitness Modeling + Tattoos?

[NoVaDriver]

Hey guys,

Just to give you a bit of background, I've been lifting for a while and got a really solid build about me. Last summer, I got the opportunity to do a fitness modeling shoot in Vegas after a buddy of mine was looking for someone. He told me a few months in advance, so I cut up then did my thing there. (Shoutout to Synthetek for a few of their products. I'm not a huge clen fan and their products were an excellent alternative.)

I really did enjoy the lifestyle and whatnot, and I'd like to continue doing this part-time once I graduate from my MBA program next month. (Being in school makes it really hard to stay that ripped all year long, especially in one with as much work and constantly varying levels of homework and group work.) Of course I got "fat" (our definition of fat) after I started the school year again, lol.

Thing is, my girl and I planned on getting matching Texas tattoos before we both move to California for my full-time gig after I graduate. I'm wondering if having just one tattoo will be more of a detriment than anything else.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but looking at other fitness models, I usually only see a moderate amount of tattoos (a sleeve or maybe several) or none at all.

Just wanted y'all's opinion.

It used to be that it would be a problem but now most fitness models are tatted. That being said, I'll bet it's hard for a photographer to find models without tattoos anymore. If I were you, I'd stay clear to set yourself apart.

It can always be photoshopped out

I don't think anyone in Cali will think a "Texas" tatoo is cool. After a few years living someplace else you might not want to admit your from texas If you think its hard to stay in shape going to school, wait till the real world chews your ass up and see how easy it is to stay in shape. Why do you think all the old suits are fat alcoholics.

You're gonna do WHAT??

Fitness modeling with a tat is not what id be worrying about.

Tons of fitness models have tattoos. Just make sure it's not a stupid one.

Nice try... I'm getting my MBA. Meaning, I've already have 4 years of real world work experience prior to going back to school.

And you'd be surprised. People from Cali see me and just say I must be what everyone looks like in Texas. Plus, who wants to piss off a guy twice your size? I've never had trouble with that, but I'll be in San Jose. Coincidentally, I read that there are MORE TEXANS THAN CALIFORNIANS that contribute to the professional workforce there, lol.
