Tattoos after weight loss?

JStarnes · October 2010

I had a trampstramp before weight loss and before kids so it's stretched with the weight gain. To my surprise, it looks a lot better now, color is more rich, I guess because the surface area shrank :laugh: I got a 'reward' tattoo on my leg back in March, I've lost weight since then, legs toned up & it, too, looks better now than when I got it. Although my 2 are just black without fine details...not sure how those would be affected.

For the most part mine have just gotten tighter and smaller as I've lost. I drop 50 last year and my 1/2 sleeve and chest pieces didn't really do too much but my back piece really got smaller and crisp. I have lots of friends who have never had problems (with good tattoos) moving or stretching during pregnancy so I would expect that 'good' tattoos probably aren't impacted much in that way.

I have 4 tattoos - and I've always been heavy, so I've strategically placed them lol. I'm looking forward to being able to get a "tramp stamp" on my lower back when I'm at my goal weight!! I have never gotten one because I really didn't want any eyes drawn to fat rolls!! LOL! :-p

TRAMP STAMP !!! Can't wait for goal either lol!!!

I have a "tramp stamp" on my lower back. I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad when I'm smaller. If not, I'll still love it just as much because it's an "in memory" tattoo.

That's the plan, to turn it into a four leaf clover, but IDK how well stretch-marked skin will accept a tattoo.....anyone know?

that is on my shoulder blade, where most ppl never seen it, or some may have forgotten it since been long time I walked around without a shirt on .lol I got most of my tats about 15-20 years ago about when it really wasn't as popular as it is now days. So I have some big tats to get .............

Where do you post your mini weight loss goals at?

I have a tramp stamp, also, and I am hoping it still looks good after I lose, we shall see. Also one on the inside of my left wrist, but not too worried about that one...

i have a huge one going from under my bust to my hip and its moved upwards as ive lost weight, and a star on my hip which i had when i was 16 and much smaller - it dissapeared as i put on weight because my belly covered it

but now its getting more visable and looks more in the right place if that makes sense lol

All mine are fine after 118lbs lost - I'd say they look even better, colour looks fuller. Having said that, They're all shoulder/arms/lower leg, so I couldn't tell you about stomach area, sorry!

Wondering for those of you who have tattoos how they were affected by your weight loss? The ones on my shoulders/lower back I'm not worried about but the one on my bikini line after weight gain, pregnancy, and not weight loss I am concerned may not take all those changes well...

I have 10 tattoos and I just had a baby; the only one that looks a little different is the one on my side hip. It got bigger as I got pregnant, but now its shrinking and looks fine again (its lyrics). Before I got pregnant, I had lost 35 pounds and none of them changed either
