Anyone out there with Tattoos that have lost a lot of weight? This question is for you... I think I know the answer but Im going to ask my stupid question anyway. Do the Tattoos shrink? I have 4 tattoos, 2 very large ones.. on my ankel and on the back of my leg. They would look funny if they shrunk LOL

Thanks for answering my dumb question LOL

Trish,

I dont have a tattoo - but just wanted to say that this is NOT a dumb question... my sister has 3 tattoo's and is also a very large gal. She asked me the same thing.

Frankly, I dont know, so Ill wait for others to answer 'us'! thanks for asking!

I have 4 tattoos, one on my left hip, which is a pig, one on my left ankle, one on the top of my right foot, and one on my left big toe. The pig stretched when I was pregnant but he is fine now. The pig has stretch marks, but that is it:-)

Ahhhhh a piggy with stretch marks..

Thanks Kelly for info... I know when I lose weight i want another tattoo but until then im waiting. Thanks again

Kelly

What's on the big left toe? Way curious

Trish, I have 2 tattoos and they are the same size @ 270 lbs as they are @167lbs....

Trish i've always wanted a tattoo and I just never got up the nerve to get one. Every time I say somethiong about getting one I get this look from my husband and my mother. (ITS A LOOK LIKE YOU WANNA DO WHAT!!!)

Anyway on a serious note I would love to come see you during balloon festival. i can hardly stand to think about it. my grandfather loved to go and he went every year for as long as I can remember till 2 years ago when he passed away. I can't even think about those ballons without thinking of him. I'll come if you don't mind if I have a good cry while watching them. Then we will get that tattoo!! HAHA!!! SHHH!

Could not get a good pic with the flash on or off...the first picture of the sun is on top of my right foot, the flower is on my left big toe and tweety is on my left ankle!!

Hey all! I have three tats...One on my arm, one on my chest and one on my leg.......Arm is a gothic fairy, one on chest is a dream catcher and the one on my leg is a phoenix with flame work around it. I have my nose pierced and I may end up with a new piercing this weekend! whoohooww! We will see.....But I just had to add my art work in this conversation....If I knew how to add pictures to this message, Id put them up! My tats didn't change as I lost/gained weight...I think it depends where on your body the art is too ...But I know it wont shrink...a five inch tat is a five inch tat, it just may warp a little (like Kellymoos said)

Here are mine

On my Parott Tat, you can see my scar from my ankle surgery.. makes the tail look deformed lol

my grandfather loved to go and he went every year for as long as I can remember till 2 years ago when he passed away. I can't even think about those ballons without thinking of him. I'll come if you don't mind if I have a good cry while watching them. Then we will get that tattoo!! HAHA!!! SHHH!

Ahhhh I know how hard it is to lose someone and somethings remind you of them... So if you want to let out a big cry seeing the balloons.. I will let you!!

its not just the balloon i would take you to see.. theres lots of things to see hehehehe we will have a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, what is a "sticky"?

My husband was just having this conversation with our tattooist, on my behalf, after telling him I was having the surgery done. He reckons that it depends on where they are on the body, but he doesn't think they'll change alot, especially if you tone-up well.

I have a vested interest because I have the following tatts. This will be the first time I've ever listed and counted them. I'll start from the bottom. 1. cherry sprigs on the top of both feet. 2. A tribal piece going from my ankle to my hip. 3. Comedy/ Tragedy masks on the inside of the ankle on the other leg. 4. Four large butterflies on the outside calf of that leg. 5. A row of multi coloured 1" stars around my right wrist. 6. A row of music notes around my left wrist. 7. Flaming eight ball and starter flags going down the back of my left arm from elbow to wrist. 8. Four aces and dice and music notes going down the back of my right arm from wrist to elbow. 9. A tribal arm band around my left arm. 10. A hard to describe symbol on the top of left arm. 11. A celtic arm band on my right arm. 12. A r+J symbol in a heart with dagger, roses etc. on the top of right arm. 13. A band (porno for pyros) symbol on the back of my neck. 14. A nautical star on the side of my neck. 15. A heart and name on my right breast. 16. Two swallows on either side of my chest with my daughters name (ruby) and birthdate in scrolls. 17. A black panther on my right shoulder blade. 18. A small black star on my hand.

Well, that must have been really boring for some of you, and the rest of you are probably thinking " Is this woman a total lunatic"? I found it interesting, though.

I also own a body piercing studio, in Perth, Western Australia.

My starting weight was 335pounds, I had the surgery on the 11th Feb, and have lost 7kgs - don't know what that is in pounds.

I'll keep all of you who are interested up to date on how the artwork holds up.

Take care,

Rachel.
