You will only lose some if you get surgery to remove skin... tummy tuck etc... the sleeve only leaves 4-5 very small scars.

I have a "sleeve" type tattoo on my right thigh and I have lost 60lbs since surgery and it still looks great.... I only want to lose 25-35 more pounds so Its looking good for me. I think the slower weight loss helps. There is hope for you!!!!!

I have tattoos running from my shoulder halfway to my elbow and I haven't seen a difference yet. I have one on my back and I don't expect that will change. If I had them on my thighs it would have been a mess. I carry a lot of my weight in my thighs and stomach so I figured my arms and back would be safe spots!
