misty... you don't have very far to go til goal...so unless you already have an abundance of hanging or wrinkled skin, I doubt it will be a problem....it usually gets more distorted (color and placement) when you're gaining an excessive amount of weight ask your artist about the exact placement and what their feelings are on the matter... xxxbecca oh...WELCOME!!

Hi Misty! I am not sure about the skin on the back, but I wanted to say Hi and welcome! Shells

Hi all, My surgery got reschelduled.I had it yesterday and they were fine with letting me wear a plastic retainer in my nose no problem at all .I didn't put the back of it on and let them know if there was a problem they could just pull it out.Thanks for the replies.

Tiffany, I like that idea. There are lots of butterflies that have yellow - Tiger Swallowtail, Giant Swallowtail, Cloudless Sulphur, Gulf Fritillary, even the Monarch. It would be cool to use the yellow measuring tape with one of them. Maybe take a photo of a butterfly type you like to the tattoo artist and see if they can use their creative talents to incorporate a measuring tape so that it looks natural not obvious. They could make it so that someone *****ally looks at the tattoo would see it sublty worked into the wings or into a swirl. If you get one be sure to post pics.
