Tattoos before and after

I am wondering has anyone gone through the surgery with several tattoos? I have a large one on my thigh and a larger one on my calf. What has happened to tattoos, do they look weird? anything I can do to help preserve them? Thanks

    My tatoots are on my lower back (aka "tramp stamp") and my foot. I've lost weight in both places - had NO idea that I had fat on my feet. Both look just as good. Not sure how the thigh would have looked though since I've lost A LOT there!

    I lost over 140lbs, and my lower back tattoo is now affectionately called by husband my "ass frown" because it is now droopy and the ends of it sag down because I lost all my butt and hips. So, it looks like a frown instead of straight line.

    As for the other 2, right shoulder, top of my back (right under my collar) both look fine.
