Hello all, does anyone have tattoos that went wonky after their WLS what with losing so much weight and all? I have 6 tattoos and am wondering how they might look after I have the surgery.

I have 3 tats pre loss surgery. They are all fine. They are all on my back and that could be why.

I have a tattoo on my lower back that I got in my early 20 prior to much of my weight gain. It obviously had stretched out and wasn't as dark as I gained. The loss of the weight had it come back together nicely and it looks much darker.
