    ive only really seen this come up in one thread before. (some guy had a pimple show up right after he got inked) but i was wondering, for a guy like me who has a moderate amount of acne will that effect a tattoo when i get one?

    depends where you get the ink done and where the acne is. :p
    For instance, if the ink is on your arm and the acne is on your face, it won't matter. :p

    Generally, if you ddon't pick/squeeze/otherwise mess with the pimple andd just let it go down, the tatto should be okay. If the pimple is particularily bad or youu irritate it, you could get some lightening of the ink.

    Pimples right after you get them done usually are actually ingrown hairs from the shaving process. Again, donn't muck with them and yo're probably gonna be okay.

    Peace
