Paintballing and tattoos

[Tonee]

I don't want your oppionion whether you like them or not.

I'm just wondering how badly do tattoo's get buggered up if you get hit? I am getting my full right arm done, most of it will be covered with a pad and a layer over it then my jersey but of course I'll still end up with a bruise... so what do you think/know through experiece? It will be fully healed by the next time I play ball...

I dont imagine it will have any effect :S though im no expert...

Nothing i would expect.

Because the tattoo is in your skin, so it should only bruise and go.

No there fine, altho i wouldnt suggest balling while is still healing, it wont affect the tattoo but you might take of some of the scabbing which will hurt

 

[Parksy]

I have several. Think pretty much all of the team have at least one. No problems getting hit in them at all.

I wouldn't play though while it is scabbing/healing though, was warned after my last one (especially when intricate) that impact can distort them during the healing process.

Aye already have one and been balling but wouldn't dream of playing while it was healing

Thanks for the thumbs up - just wanted too make sure

yeh with parksy on this one i have loads and no probs with bruiseing or cuts but again obviously not during healing

Mine have both been bruised but healed ok.

Bit of a connection with PB players and tatoos. So many players have them

Not me - but then again, I'm not a PB player (or trainer - before Mikey starts!).

In fact - I'm joining the Mario camp - Paintball is sh1te!
