Tattoos and weight loss???

Hi all! This is a question that I have been wanting to ask - and havent noticed it on the boards here.

For those of you with tattoos, did your weight loss affect the look of your tat? I have a large tat on my lower back and Im wondering if weight loss will alter the look? Im having lap RNY and interested in getting even more tats but Im wondering if I should wait until after Ive lost quite a bit of weight??

Any input is appreciated! thanks

I have 7....6 of them I got when I was obese...1 I got after I lost all the weight. None of them changed in size.

Thats great news! Thanks

Mine either- actually I think they look better!

Great to hear! Im actually wanting several more but didnt know if I should wait until I was post-op and losing weight or if it mattered! Thanks

Hey Shea!

I've got a boat load... a lot of them I got during my weight loss.  But I've chosen to get ink'd on my legs for now because there wasn't much fat there.  I have small ones on my boobs and due to the "deflation of my tits" they have gotten longer.  But my gf likes 'em so who cares.

LMAO @ deflation! I know that will happen and Im sure dreading it! Anyways... thanks for the input!

Hey Shea,
My tats look the same or better after my weight loss...and have my next two all designed!!! best of luck to you :-)

Thanks so much!

Shea,

 I have to agree with everyone. I have one on my lower back too and it actually looks better/sexier. And of course, I'm looking to get 2 more.
