It hurts no matter what. Thats just all there is to it. I yelled once when I got my new one on my foot. Hurt way worse than my back though... The lower back should not be affected by having kids. At least, I dont think it will. I have one on my lower back, and have no had kids. As for the TT...I think it depends on the level of skin you have all the way around. Some people who get a circumfrential (sp) have a scar all the way around, and even with a lower body lift it is a much larger scar. I dont know for sure, but I think with the regualr old abdominoplasty the scar is generally, not alway**** to hip and would not have any effect on your back tattoo... So, if I were you, I would go for it So fun. You have to share pics when you get back. I hope you have an amazing wedding, and super fun honeymoon too! Lots of pics even if you dont get the tattoo, k? Congrats!!!

I would think that getting your tat toward the center of your lower back would be OK. If you don't have a lot of loose skin now it shouldn't stretch that much. Having plastics done shouldn't effect it as much there. Yes, it may hurt a bit. You're having a needle piercing your skin. But that's the price we pay. Generally, the more underlying fat, etc. the less the pain.
