Physique update:
170.5 lbs 5’9
Haven’t worked out in a week so wanted to post a few zero pump pics for my future evaluation of myself. My goal is to get lean. I eat like crap I just eat less. Pretty much everything else is the same.

Is that a girl patiently waiting to blow you in the second pic?

Dude I’m a gentleman. I’d never make a woman wait… She just got done blowing me. She’s awaiting further instruction.

The real question is; are you seriously wearing sunglasses in the bathroom?

I wear glasses sometimes but mostly contacts. That was a glasses day. That said, I do fully embrace my inner douchebag on occasion.

I love how much detail people notice when you throw pics up online, I’m completely oblivious to it when I put pics up or look at other peoples and then someone will post something like this and it always gives me a laugh and then makes me wonder how much crap people see of mine that I don’t intend them to see, didn’t see the female head lurking either. Like those click bait “she didn’t see what was behind her until she looked back at the photo” type things!

Question about tattoos, how long does one have to abstain from exercise after getting one?
Furthermore, does muscle growth alter the aesthetics of said tattoo?
What does the arm measure flex (but no pump)? Just curious as mine shrink like a mutha whenever I cut.
I’d say wait about 2 weeks so the majority of it has healed. Sweating in the first few days is a no no for sure.
As far as like stretching of the skin goes… I think it’s luck of the draw. My delts are significantly larger (though not large by bodybuilder standards) than they were when I first got the tattoo I have there. That tattoo took around 7 hours straight to complete. There’s lots of little details (willow tree with many small branches). It looks better than it does in the picture but the picture was hard to take.
First pic was soon after getting tattoo.

Not who you replied too but I’ve got quite a few tattoos and figured everybody may be different 
If it’s black and gray/line work and shading, usually only take a day or two off. Sometimes if there’s a lot of color it can be a day Or two off then a day in the gym arranged to manage that.
It also matters how much you swell. Some people swell up pretty good and get like a fever type thing going in the area, and some don’t swell at all. I’ve been both.
Also It depends on how big it is, a little thing will never slow you done at all
Sounds legit to me. When I got my tattoos I didn’t really workout so I’m not the best to give advice on the subject.
My arms are really small. Like 15.5 last time I measured and that was a while ago when I had more meat on my bones so maybe 15 now? I don’t have a measuring tape handy
That’s not ‘really small’ but of course not large. A cut 15" arm on an average sized frame looks pretty damn good. I wouldn’t sweat it. Same thing happens to mine when I drop weight but you’re body comp looks way better than mine the last time I was down 20+ lbs. Looking good my friend.

Frank Zane’s arms measured about 17" in his prime. Being lean does a hell of a lot to how a body is perceived.

100% spot on. Mass distribution (BF vs Muscle mass) and frame makes a HELL of a difference.
Zane was pretty short from what I remember, so 17" looked as good on his frame as the 21’s that Arnold was sporting at the same time comparably speaking. Arnold was way taller though.
My arms are currently at about 17.25" (with pump) but not near as lean as Zane was in that pic. I’m right at 5’ 8" so my arms look bigger because of my frame. In a solo pic I look huge. If you put me beside someone with good proportions that is 6’ or better, I lose a lot of mass real quick lol!

Cat scan results
@unreal24278 let me know what you think about these results and how much stock can you put in the cat scan results for heart? Are there things that can go unnoticed with a cat scan? What do you make of the liver results?
