For those who have tats, how are they holdin up through out your weight loss? I have a tat i really love on my outer calf, so I'm worried how it will fair as I lose this weight...

It's been a long time, but there was a thread about this once. If I recall correctly, they said their tattoos on their legs looked a little wrinkled after a huge weight loss. A huge weight gain will make them spread apart so you can't tell what it was. They used pregnancy with an abdominal tattoo as their reference to the spreading. Most peoples legs tend to be fine on their calf after losing weight they guess because of the exercise you get with a lot of walking. Good luck!

I see no difference in mine at all. I have four and none of them has taken a turn for the worse after a huge weight loss.

sweet, hopefully it will be fine. I am lucky in that my legs are small compared to my weight, i am a great perfect apple shape, lol!:sad:

I have 1 that I got when I was thinner and then gained 75lbs. Now I have lost 85lbs and it still looks good. In fact I just got a new one for my birthday (on my lower back) and I cannot wait to show it off!! =)

I have one on my right calf. I got it when I was 80 pounds heavier than I am right now and it still looks great. And, my legs were huge and have gotten much smaller.

Good to hear! I have 5 tats, and was concerned about them. I have a feeling though, that if I ever get down enough to get a Tummy Tuck, I'll have to say goodbye to the one on my hip... I'll have fun thinking about what to replace it with!

I have 5 (arms & ankles) and after losing a little over 50lbs, I see no difference. None of mine look distorted or anything. Hopefully after another 45lbs, they'll still look the same.
