Tattoo?

How long would you wait to get a tattoo?

I would be getting it in my wrist

Im not sure there is a right time, I actually got 2 on each wrist, 1st one was less than a year after surgery, last one was 1 year out.

Unless your wrists are huge, I don't think it matters. I actually have a tattoo on the underside of my left forearm and it's just shrank with the rest of me.

Now if you wanted it somewhere like your tummy or hip, I'd definitely say wait until after you lose so it doesn't get droopy. But I highly doubt weight loss would effect a wrist tattoo.

i wouldnt...i got mine before i got over 300 and now that i am way back down, they are fine(got on both inner writs/inner forearms)...yeah, i am pretty inked allover

the tatts on my tummy were never the same after I lost weight but they then got cut away when I got my body lift. The ones on my arms, thighs etc didn't change, just shrank a little as I shrank.
