Tattoos

I have not had surgery yet. I have two half sleeve tattoos. I am wondering if anyone also has tattoos on areas where the skin was dramatically changed. Would anyone share before & after pictures. Curious what type of damage they may incur! I am hoping that at least my feet and ankle tattoos are safe!

Also does anyone have any tattoos commemorating their weight loss? I would love to see pictures of those also!

I was able to fix my original post. Ignore this one :-)

I do not currently have any tattoos, but I am planning on getting a pretty epic one once my body is where I am happy with it. I want a tear away full shoulder tattoo with a suit of celtic armour underneath. Woven into the armour would be my wifes name, the names of any children at the time, and my surgery date. There will be other tatoos in the same fashion on other ares covering my first full ironman and my colorado bike ride.

I hope it all works out well for you.

I have a half sleeve and have lost some weight on the arms and it hasn't really affected it much, I am still in the weight loss process, though....

That's good to know! My tattoo artist said usually all you would see on sleeves is the tattoo slide down due to the loose skin. Hoping it's minor enough!
