I want to get a full shoulder piece and I've also been losing weight and toning up. Im deploying to Afghanistan sometime next month and want to get the tat before I go because I may not make it back and I really want it. So I a. On continuing to tone up, but my concern is will the tattoo look bad if I tone my arms. They r not fat and have no extra flab, they r just not toned. Thanks to all who answer.
