I really everyone at http://www.skinfactorytattoo.com/ I used to favor Irish Mike, but not sure he's still there...

I guess it depends on how much weight you have to lose...I know during my weight loss I have been having my leg worked on...other than being a little "softer"...there's no real difference, and even my artist commented that my skin was in real good shape still! lol...I hate going to the "ask your doctor" advice, but "ask your tattoo artist"... I've noticed that there are a lot more artists that have worked with WLS patients as our numbers have been multiplying...some artists may or may not be comfortable working with our new bodies....ask around! xxxbecca p.s....HI!

absolutely...I would trust my artist (we worked together for a few years) with my life! he's good people...and has never wrecked my car!...lol xxxBecca

Yeah my skin isnt too bad now so I am HOPING that it will be minimal, but I know I just cant lose that much weight and expect to not have some need for plastics. Oh well, it's all gonna be worth it!!! And it's gonna be so fun to ink up my brand new body! LOL

I got quite a few PMs from people asking about my ink, so here it is: sorry to sound like a commercial, but if you're in the Los Angeles (Hollywood) area and looking for a good artist, PM me and I can direct you to an online portfolio for a great guy, who is not only an amazing artist, but a good friend and genuinely good human being! He is currently working at the world Famous True Tattoo in Hollywood, CA. If you're uncomfortable cold calling, I'll even arrange introductions and a visit to the shop...when word of mouth referrals pay your rent, it says alot about an artist's skills for someone to REALLY have their back! Check some of his work on my profile...I have lots more in progress I can show you! xxxbecca
