I too have very extensive tattoos all over the place and have seen them go from about 160 pounds to 322 and now back down to 193, so far they are all fine. They have moved around a bit, one edge that was half an inch from the crook of my elbow is now in the crook of my elbow, and some have moved around a bit, but really they look pretty damn good considering. Good luck on your surgery date!! Inky

WELCOME!!! Glad you found us here! don't be a stranger now! xxbecca

I'm pre-Op but I'm covered in INK. I'd love to join with my old body, and let my NEW body catch up in a few months if that's okay! I've been feeling HOPELESSLY ALONE in this endeavor... as this type of surgery isn't something that people regularly deal with (or deal with at all) in my social scene. I was shocked and THRILLED to see this forum.... So, if you don't mind me coming in Pre-Op... I'd love to join you all! Cheers and Skin Deep! -Betty

Welcome to you and may I say your maple leaf tat is the BEST!!! Roberta

Hey Deb...I have some VERY extensive coverage and am down 115#...all my ink looks fine...I doubt you'll have any major issues... stretch marks are really the only thing that will really ruin your ink...so no worries since you're shrinking!!! xxxBecca
