Would this mess up my tattoo?

I want to get a tattoo in the upper middle of my back. The problem is I lift weights a lot and am constantly getting bigger. I am a competition power lifter and amateur bodybuilder. Will my back getting bigger affect my tattoo later in life?

Update:

Thanks shy girl. It's not that I'm worried so much as you were the only one to answer last night so I figured I'd get other takes on it too.

And Ken, the tattoo is for my grandmother who died last year but thanks for being a dick.

    I answered this last night, so you are obviously worried about it. You have to gain 80 pounds or more to have a tattoo there stretch. I got a tattoo there, put on 80 pounds, and it still looks great. Its not stretched at all. Its not distorted at all.

    I say go ahead and get a tattoo there, as long as it will not effect your career as a body builder.

    yes. the tattoo will stretch as your body grows

    then as you get older and your muscles begin to fade and become flab, that too will alter and mess with your tattoo

    people still get 'em anyways. just make sure its nothing that could look weird if stretched, like a phrase or wording

    a picture or symbol should be okay

    ya bro, get a wicked sweet tribal tat and show it off to the chicks while you blast your lats all day. They won't make fun of you.
