so im thinking of getting a chest tattoo and i was wondering should i wait till i hit my target weight or do you think it dont matter

It depends on how much more you want to lose, and how much loose skin you have. Your best bet is to talk to the tattoo artist, they should be able to give you a better idea.

The one I have on my back is a symbol of my weight loss effort and goals. I got it well before I reached my goal, to help me remember every day what it is I am trying to achieve and to help keep me motivated.

I have several white tattoos on my wrist and my forearm and I always get "what is that?" from the nurse taking my blood or blood pressure. I'm an astronomy buff so I have a bunch of stars, and an astronomy quote. In honor of my weight loss journey I'm considering getting a tattoo of the Mars rovers, Spirt and Opportunity. They were only suppose the run for 90 days when they landed in 2004. Spirt kept going for 6 years and Opportunity is still going today. I think it's a good metaphor and reminder to keep going even if everyone thinks you can't.

I'll be getting a tattoo, hopefully by May when I visit my son in southern Cali so I can show him. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have one yet. I designed my hubby's viking tattoo and I'll be designing my own. Still deciding on what - it's permanent and has to be done just right.

I was advised to wait till after or the end of my trip before getting a tattoo because you can't swim or go in the sun w/one. My son wants me to get it in Cali. :-) I'll be there from 4/24 - 4/30. It could be a good souvenir of my trip. Aside from going to my son's graduation from boot camp at Parris Island, I've never left New England. :-)

I have the whole top of my right foot with a lotus flower coy and waves. A huge butterfly on my bag and a lil tiny itty bitty lady bug on my bikini line. not sure what I was thinking there. Lol. I'm getting a peacock sleeve. Was thinking maybe just doing a bird sleeve since I like sparrows and owls too! Waiting in that though until after weight loss has come to a slow. Maybe a year from surgery.

I love tattoos! I have 3 and it's definitely not enough :-) I'd like to wait till I lose a lil more lbs though before I continue my addiction lol.

I have two. The first one a dragon on my right hip. The second is two dragons, Water and fire INA ying yang configuration on the top of my spine. I am going to get earth, air, fire and water on my calves and shoulders as well as akasha on the base of my neck. But first I must reach goal. I have lost 22lbs since sleeved on18 mar.

What a great reward for us to look forward to. It's hard to stop at one or three I think I shall wait until goal as well.

I have about 40% of my body covered in tattoos. I have lost 125 pounds, and they all still look great. I'm only concerned about the big one on my lower back shifting when I have my plastics done.

I have one tattoo that I want changed. It's of dopey from snow white on my ankle. I would like something feminine like flowers on there for a cover up. The other one I've considered is tinker Bell on the back of the neck. There's a part in the movie where she sees her reflection for the first time

I was thinking of getting a tattoo on my side like on my rib cage. I lost 115 and have about 70 lbs to go til I reach my goal weight of 180. Just wondering does anyone know if I get it now will it lose its shape once I reach my goal weight? Most of my weight is in my hips, thighs and lower stomach that I still need to lose and you can see my rib cage at the weight I'm at now. 6'2 and big boned I guess helps in this case. Any advice is appreciated!

I have 16 tattoos and I love them all.

I've lost 56 pounds they all look good.

I'm getting some done tomorrow.

My upper arms don't have tattoos but I really want a big piece there but my arms are super flabby. I'm not okay with :/

I'm headed to California for a little vacation in a couple hours. (YAY!) I'm thinking I may get a tattoo while I'm there as a souvenir of my first EVER vacation alone. :-)
