How bad will a breast augmentation look when I have a large sternum tattoo? (Photo)

DanaLilianDauster63
Have I ruined my chances of ever getting a breast augmentation due to my large sternum tattoo? I have very small breasts, but would not want large implants if it was possible. I have kind of accepted that this would never be possible due to the position of my tattoo. Would the tattoo stretch to cover half of the implant? Would look very weird if so haha.
