Tattoos

Hi there,

 I am set to have the sleeve 9/29 but I have been thinking about all my tats. I have tats all along my upper back , shoulders,neck, and upper chest.  I wondered with the sagging skin issue if anyone has had their tats get all messed up? I deliberately never got tats in heavy stretch areas like stomach/breasts because i didn't want them to stretch out. Thanks in advance!

Well...I am only 1/2 way to goal but none of my tattoos have been affected. I do have some loose skin in my arms and will have some skin problems in the thighs and stomach, but everywhere else is fine. I think you should be fine! I have a tattoo on my hip, shoulder, ankle/foot and my back/butt, no harm done... :)

It sounds like you were smart enough not to get the tats in areas where they would be affected at all. Now if you had gotten one around your belly button I might question that. :P

So far I'm 75ish lbs down just since surgery and I don't have any issue with the 3 I have. I have no sagging skin on my shoulders/back/chest. Just my tits/stomach/inner thighs really.

I think you'll be fine!

I've had no problems yet.

I have one on my lower back...above my butt-several flowers horizontally spread out about 6-7 inches , and at my plastic surgery consultation my surgeon said it will be cut off during my lower body lift next month. I am just hoping the entire thing goes so I dont have to get cover up work done.

Thanks guys!  Hmm having a tat cut off sounds horrible.  Hope they do take it all. Kinda like a do over for that spot though.

I have one on my back and one on my leg...they both look much better now. I am only nine weeks out, but I've lost 44 lbs so far. I never got any in heavy stretch areas for the same reason :)
