Hi Guys & Gals

Has anyone had any issues with their tattoos appearance after weight loss? I only have four, three are on my legs...just wondering if they will look funny.

My tattoos are looking good. I think they even look better with my legs getting smaller. My only regret is not getting my other foot done before surgery. My feet are boney now and I think it actually will hurt a little when I get it done. Lol.

I've been looking for an answer to the same question. I have one tattoo on my lower leg.

One person I asked, said it was like a shrinky-dink It shrank with the leg. And I was like, that's pretty cool. But another person said her's looks awful, I bet it is like loose skin, it depends on a bunch of different factors.

I totally agree with you. I've heard the same thing and decided I'd just have to wait and see what happens. I still have about 70 pounds to lose so who knows what they will look like then. I think why mine looks good now is cause where my tattoos are located I didn't have a problem with a lot of fat in that area. Some but not a lot.

Hi Heather! Was looking at you ticker, and we were about the same starting weight. I am always looking to compare my HW and see where it is possible I will be in the future. You have lost 94 lbs in alittle over 5 months if I did the math right??? That is super awesome! Hope I can reach that goal! Great job!

I hope they still look good so we don't have to be re-tatted. Lol. Tho the loose skin would b an issue, I'm still at the beginning of losing too so I guess time will tell

I have some and they look better after surgery...I do want to finish my sleeve so i may want to do it now that I still have some cushion...lol
