female only Tattoo's??

Here is a question....Does the appearance of one's tattoo change after weight loss?:confused:

[Tiffykins 672]

I have 3 tats on my back.

1 at the top right below the collar,

1 over my right shoulder blade

and the infamous tramp stamp (lower back)

I've lost 87lbs in 4.5 months, and none of mine have really changed at all. The one on my lower back is the only one I'm really worried about. I'm afraid it'll end up looking like an ink smear after I get to/pass goal ha ha ha.

But, I can have it redone, touched up, or removed it becomes a nuisance.

I have 2, 1 was damaged by pregnancy, its on my hip, my tramp stamp is ok though.

EEEEKKKKK! My makeup is all tattooed on! If it changes I'll be a real sight! Only kidding, I dont think it'll do anything, just eyeliner top and bottom and eyebrows. .

I have one on my left butt cheek kind of high, like right next to the top of the crack (sorry don't know how else to describe it. I got it when I was about the weight I am now. It stretched and didn't look bad as I gained. It looks like the day I got it now. I wonder too what it will look like when I get to my goal weight.

Reminds me of my dad's old Navy buddy..he had a huge tattoo of a ship across his belly and after he got older and gained a lot of weight, it all stretched out..too funny.

The Roses on My left boob look like they are "wilted" now

Um, yes, they can change big time.

My friend has a big one on her lower back which is now unrecognizeable, completely distorted and dropped and the one on her stomach is now only half there after she had a Tummy Tuck, looks REALLY weird, like a huge butterfly is being eaten by her scar.

Its a bit sad, but really, that's what'll happen when you get to 80 too.

Lol, maybe we should all have "time to cut out the cookies" or any other trigger food tattooed so close together and tiny that you cant read it. When you CAN read it, its time to really cut out the cookies!

Reminds me of that "welcome to jamaica have a nice day" joke *snicker*

I'm going to remove mine after the sleeve. It was a skinny bear n now it's a fat bear.

I used to own a tattoo shop, and what I noticed from one of the clients that had extreme weight loss is that the tattoos shrink with the skin. The only reason I even noticed was because I had 2 clients get tattoos with the same pattern, on the same day. They were the exact same size. Then when she lost weight, if you put them next to each other, hers was smaller. I don't know if this happens with everyone but I saw it happen with it at least this one person. It could also depend on where the tattoo is on your body, how old it is, how hydrated you are during the process etc.

A friend of mine that is rather robust in the bust department has a winnie-the-pooh on the top of her left breast..........over the years pooh has gotten taller and thinner It just sort of happens even without weight gain/loss. Mine are on the back of my neck and my foot so I don't anticipate any problems.......will wait to get my next one after I reach goal, maintain it for a year, and pay for my new boobs
