bbkipps99 48 Posted October 22, 2012 Ok so I'm wondering if once u lost the weight did your tattoo change? I have 4. 2 small 1 med ish and ome big one one my calf. I gues om wondering if it ended up to look like a shinky dink lol. I plan on getting more but they are all big tattoos(shoulders, back, 1/4 sleeves) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atigerinthesky 17 Posted October 23, 2012 Oh good question! I'm wondering the same thing. I have a 1/4 sleeve on my upper arm. I was wondering if it will shrink down like a design on a ballon Or get all strange looking. Lol 1 jerseyjandj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 23, 2012 Mine look the same...they are on my shoulders. I think it all depends on where they are. The big one on your calf, I don't think you need to worry about that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puppyphat 397 Posted October 23, 2012 I got one on my hip, then 3 months later fell pregnant, it now looks like a big green sneeze. Thank goodness I can cover it. Losing weight has not improved it. I also have 1 on my ankle that I for when I was fat and it hasn't changed at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mom2five 292 Posted October 24, 2012 I got a tramp stamp before they were popular and mine has orbited in a new direction lol it's now on my right side instead of the middle of my back Wow.. its crazy that it moved like that. I have a rose on my shoulder blade in memory of my mom. I hope it doesn't migrate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted October 25, 2012 I had a scar migrate. It was a big deep burn on top of my shoulder. I lost weight after a head injury (about 80lbs) and that scar moved to just above my elbow. I've gained all that weight back... Scar's still chilling above the elbow :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherrybombknits 184 Posted October 25, 2012 My surgeon actually cut through my tattoo. It looks like once it heals you won't be able to see the scar. [ATTACH]5825[/ATTACH] 1 COsleeveDude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COsleeveDude 273 Posted October 27, 2012 My surgeon actually cut through my tattoo. It looks like once it heals you won't be able to see the scar. [ATTACH]5825[/ATTACH] That's actually a pretty slick move by your surgeon, one less scar to see. I wonder if tattooing to cover up scars will become popular. My surgeon put one of my five holes in my belly button. I was pretty impressed with that, looks like it was the biggest one. 1 lizv123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a few artists say they won't touch scars. Too bad because I have a TON. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MG in SD 75 Posted November 21, 2012 It probably depends when you got your tattoos too. I got all of mine when I was 18-21 years old, and still slim 'n' sexy. They looked bad the fatter I got because they stretched out. I am hoping as I lose they will look less distorted. Who knows, guess we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
