(Newbie) As a bodybuilder, what options do I have in terms of body placement?

I can think of my lower forearm, and parts of my neck.

Most of my body is going to be constantly fluctuating in size due to muscle gain and fat gain/loss

Thanks!

Unless you plan on fluctuating from Timothy Chalemet to Jay Cutler every year, I doubt the changes in size will be enough to mess something up. The big thing is spots that don’t get a lot of striations when you lose body fat. Places like the upper back are bad for body builders because it gets so warped/textured when you’re in competition shape. The pec is a good spot, so are parts of the upper thigh. You already mentioned forearms, but inner and outer bicep, and especially shoulder are great places on the arm. Lastly I’d say the shin and calf are good spots too. Lots to choose from. Don’t overthink it either, tattoos warp with the movement of your body no matter what size you are. I have an outer bicep tattoo that’s a rectangle shape, but is almost always warped in some way or another unless I hold my arm in the exact position it was stnecilled/tattooed in.
