What happens to tattoos on a person that loses 50+ lbs? For example; I have a full sleeve on one arm(currently unfinished) and a half on the other arm. I want to lose 50 lbs at the very least, 100 if I can. Since upper arms tend to have a lot of flab, will it affect my tattoos if I lost that amount of weight? Just curious, not stressed about it or anything. Opinions?

    It will warp and look all weird, like this:

    I dont think thats accurate lol.. I have 12 tattoos and none of them have moved much at all, (im down 75 lbs). They will shrink up alittle but being healthy is obviously more important!!

    Interesting... I suppose I'll see what happens. Thankfully the one I'm worried about is just outlined for now (Disney villains :D) so I guess they can make whatever adjustments that need to be done when/if it happens. I was just curious

    I only lost 15 pounds, but when I did my scorpion turned into a bug!
