I have question for those of you with tatoos that lost a lot of weight...how did it effect your tattoos?? I have a tattoo on my inner ankle and i'm afraid when I lose a lot of weight its going to get all wobbly looking! Anyone have issues with their tattoos post-weight loss??

Thank you!!

Good question. Now I'm wondering too.

I have tattoos on my right bicep and left calf. So far I have not noticed any difference really but those are areas where I don't have a lot of lose skin. As my weight loss progresses maybe it will be different.

I'm 5'0" and down 60 lbs. My BMI has dropped over 10 points! I have one tatt between my shoulder blades & it looks exactly the same, so far.

Im 5'5" had surgery may of 2013 at 253 today Im 158 I have several tattoos wrist ankles neck foot biceps etc Iv lost 100 pound no change in any of my tattoos..

Almost 50 pounds gone for me and my pretty tattoo on my ankle is the same and amazingly. The one that I have on my left breast looks better tighter clear.

i would think boob and maybe low back tattoos and maybe upper arm tattoos would change a little, depending on how much over weight and loose skin a person has. only have one tat on my ankle and so far so good.

Mine havent changed at all and I have them on my forearms, biceps and legs. You can see the before and "during" in my arms. 117 lbs gone in this photo

Thanks for this post! I've been thinking of getting a tattoo on my inner wrist, but am concerned. I'm down 100lbs, with 100 to go. Do you all think inner wrist will be OK if I do it now? Or do you think I should wait?

I think the inner wrist should be okay. It better be, because I've got an appointment on July 29 to get a butterfly on my inner wrist/forearm =P I'm holding off on getting my back done, and waiting on the one I want on my chest until I reach goal (and see if I need plastics or not...I don't want to lose part of my tattoo because I was too impatient to wait)
