My husband is a tattoo artist and he said that area should be fine since you won't lose alot of body mass from the forearm area. Go for it!!

Since I am not familiar with your weight loss goals, I will stay on the safe sides agree w/your hubby.

The way I see it here is tattoos are permanent. Don't take any chances on putting something on you're body that you might regret. Besides, it would make a great trophy & would create a very positive memory if it were tied to an accomplishment, like reaching a certain goal weight.

Getting a tattoo in the forearm should be fine. Arms is a totally different case though. As you loose weight, if you have loose skin in the arm, you may need a cosmetic surgery and the tattoo is gonna look distorted after surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
