Why would you want to? Your skin is going to change a lot.

I never got any painkillers to take home. I was off them practically a few hours after surgery.

Tatts gonna hurt regardless

My own view is you could wait until you are maintaining especially as its going to be a big tattoo. You dont have any stats on your profile but if you want to lose a lot of weight it will change your skin and may make the tattoo look odd.

What ar you having done ?

ps: I am having my first one soon but have waited until I was maintaining and I had finished with my skin surgery. Whohooooo im an old rebel lol

Pain killers don't help the pain of a tattoo I have several on my ribs back

progress starts in the mind

@@mgiii

three years ago,- i was 60 years YOUNG when i had my first tattoo,

i had just achieved GOAL too

hubby wasn't too psyched when i told him about the pending tattoo

promised him i wouldn't have another tattoo for the next 60 years !!

above on top of right hand , had the first 3 letters of my grand-kids name

M organ A ndrew E than

marked with a small red heart under each letter!!

in about 6 months i had another small tattoo/medium sized pic of a butterfly

had a small/medium sized picture of a butterfly above my 86 year old mom's right ankle!!

i had another tattoo 5 months later!!!

the word "survivor" concerning my

being a proud cancer survivor

all tatts on rght side - look great

all tattoos spaced nicely in small italic letters, one proportioned below the other!!

once again, i told hubby - no more tattoos - ever!!

probably.......
