Tattoos

Not sure where to post this but here goes

I have a tattoo on my left calf that my mother in law swears is shrinking. I don't see it and pointed out to her that my calves are pretty muscular and shouldn't shrink much if at all

Any one have any issues with this? I realize it's pretty immaterial to my overall health but thought I'd ask

Well, it should look pretty good if you're exercising. I have one on my back that doesn't appear to have changed much at 100 pounds lost. If it's ugly when I get done losing weight, I'll do something with it.

My ankles have shrunk by about 1/2 inch and I measured my tattoo before on my ankle just to see. No difference really. Maybe an 1/8 of an inch, but since it is on my side and not the fatty portion it didn't change much.

I don't have one on my ankle but I do have my neck, upper back and arms tattooed. Despite losing more than 100 pounds none of them have shifted or changed significantly. Unless it's in a place likely to sag or bag, you'll be fine. I'd be a sad girl if I had a breast tattoo or one on my stomach, that's for sure.

I've been 1-1/2 yrs out before I tattooed (January) what I wanted. It starts the back half of my neck. Its about 3 inches in length and 7 inches wide (shoulder to shoulder). But I don't think it will change much.
