    We have some odd discussions at work, hence the following. If someone with a tattoo were to rapidly put on a lot of weight would the tattoo dye fade under the stretched skin?

    Question #57892. Asked by gmackematix. (Jun 22 05 4:56 PM)

    		You'd think so wouldn't you! There was an episode of Mythbusters a few weeks ago, that was trying to see if the ink used in tattoos would explode if the owner needed an MRI. That's a scary thought. (it didn't, by the way)

    		Adam and Jamie could have saved themselves a lot of work if they had called me, or any other tattooed athlete.
    G, if I ever rapidly gain weight, I'll let you know what happens to my tattoos.

    		I'm not sure, as the stretching of the tattoo might be countered by the effect of the tattoo being seen more clearly through the stretched skin.

    I know that tattooes are generally permanent and laser removal can be very expensive, but if one wants a different tattoo over the one they already have, is it possible to just tattoo over it, or is it necessary to remove the tattoo and then get the new one in the same location?
