They hold up fairly well.

I had a quarter done then started lifting.

Some of the parts that arent filled in very well will start to show abit more however.

that question has been running through my mind for months.
sweet :) now i will feel a little more secure inking up my not so muscled up body.


that tattoo design looks pretty cool too.
i agree with n3o, i think it would look better black and white. its your decision but.
 
In my experience, they stretch and shrink in proportion to your body.

So it may not be as detailed as your arm gets bigger, but it wont look totally out of shape. Its not too much of a concern :)
 
Thanks for all the replys! My only concern with black and white is people wont recognize it as an atom and more like a collection of balls with balls flying around it. With color i can designate charges. I chose the upper arm because it can be highly noticable when i want it to be but when im in the lab i can hide it with slightly longer shirts. I think im going to stick with that coloring. I've always said id never get one they are stupid but this is the only thing that i feel will last my whole life.
 
Nice one szuko!! Go for it :)
And make sure you post photos once it's completed!
 
definitely get photos.
although i think black and white would look sick, i can say all the colours in that picture are heaps attractive to the eye and work well together. so either way i think it should look pretty sweet %)

well, as a chemistry geek, if you got it done in shades of black & grey, it would annoy you for the rest of your life. and i think it looks pretty badass in colour anyway.

you should try and make it slightly subversive, e.g. a psychedelic mushroom in the centre, lol. :D
 
I want another tattoo...

Does anyone have quote tattoos?

The only quote I want is long... like three sentences. I want something like this:

Of course, I like tattoos....good ones. What I don't like is when people see my arm and progress to show me theirs. Put down your shirt girl I have no desire to see your muffin top tramp stamp. It does not makes us homies.
 
idk you shuld just pick a quote that means something to you if its 2 small you can allways make the font bigger its better to look at your tattoo that means something then to just get one 2 have one

this really made me lol

I think tattoos are totally hot, but you can tell when they are well thought-out and meaningful. Some people look like a scratch pad and that just looks terrible

That looks like it'd be too small but I'm no expert. Then again, mine is pretty small too.

I love your tattoo!

My quote is:

"Idea for a short story. The shore of a lake, and a young girl who’s spent her whole life beside it, a girl like you. She loves the lake the way a seagull does, and she’s happy and free as a seagull. Then a man comes along, sees her, and ruins her life because he has nothing better to do. Destroys her like this seagull."

It's my favorite lit quote and has been for years but yeah there's no way this shit will fit on my foot looking at it. I've thought about getting one on my hip, where yours is or in the front.... or I could shorten this one down. I'm still in brainstorming mode, I only have one and it took me five years to finally decide I was sure on it :D haha.
