How do you avoid stretch marks? The ones on blacks I see at the gym don't really look that bad, but on white people it can be pretty embarrassing. I just want to know how do you guys go about keeping them from happening? I know that once you get them, you're fucked and have to wait for them to go away on their own which will take years.

not true, rub coconut oil into them once a day for two weeks, should fix them right up!

Give me one medical article or something backing up that claim by a professional doctor and I will concede...
Stretch marks are permanent, only tattoos cover them up. Coco butter only lessens the redness if its still red.

The stretch marks don't actually just go away Anon, stretch marks are the equal of scars.
It takes years and years for the fibers to break down and smooth out to blend in with the rest of the skin.
Coconut oil reduces redness and inflammation which makes it blend in faster yes, but it doesn't remove the stretch mark.

Stretched skin doesn't tan. Pic related is a tanned man ffs

False. Stretchmarks are tears in the skin from it having to expand at a rate faster than your cells can regenerate. Stretchmarks never vanish, initially they are bright red due to hyper-pigmentation and then eventually fade to silver, but they never go away.
The only way to avoid developing them is to take your weight gain/muscular development slowly, but there is a genetic factor involved and some people are more predisposed to them than other. Like me. ;__;.

Can I clone my skin and graft the unstretched skin onto my body?

Where are you getting these stretch marks that they could ever be emberassing? LoL. Are you talking about ones caused by fat? Those look nasty.
Gaining significant muscle will give you some between the shoulder and pec, also ass and thighs but nothing super severe. Just get a tan and give them time. They're really not as bad as your making them out to be.
Friend of mine got them real bad on his shoulders
he covered them up with tattoos, dropped my serious money on them and told me he bled like a stuck pig because the skins thinner over the marks and hurt like a bitch but I'll admit it was the perfect solution for him.
Has anyone tried dermaabrasion/dermarollers?

Can it cause any harm to do tattoos on stretched skin though?
>>38077164
skins thinner so you tend to bleed more
