My husband is a tattoo artist and he said that area should be fine since you won't lose alot of body mass from the forearm area. Go for it!!

Since I am not familiar with your weight loss goals, I will stay on the safe sides agree w/your hubby.

The way I see it here is tattoos are permanent. Don't take any chances on putting something on you're body that you might regret. Besides, it would make a great trophy & would create a very positive memory if it were tied to an accomplishment, like reaching a certain goal weight.

eek thanks!!!! :) so excited!

Getting a tattoo in the forearm should be fine. Arms is a totally different case though. As you loose weight, if you have loose skin in the arm, you may need a cosmetic surgery and the tattoo is gonna look distorted after surgery.
