So I've been wanting to get my tattoo done but I'm afraid if I loose too much weight it will make it look weird. Should I wait to get my tattoo till I'm where I want to be weight wise? Or does it not matter?

    I would make it a treat for reaching a goal and wait..but it depends on where your planning to have it placed really if it will make a difference on appearance

    My tattoo is on my back and I have gained and lost 30 pounds and it hasn't moved, lol. I think the back is your safest bet! I don't know what your weight now is but unless you're going to lose a whole lot then I would say get it! Eek I'm excited for you! My sister's birthday is next week and I'm taking her to get one!!!

    I suggest waiting until you reach a certain goal. I have my final goal set for my HUGE tat I want to get on my back. I'll probably get a smaller one, in an area where it won't really matter, but the large one I want to wait until I loose more weight.

    I'm having the same debate. I would love to get a tatoo of my Son/Husband/My astrological signs in some design.

    I think it's completely up to you. I have one on my back too and it looks exactly the same as the day I had it done. Go for it! :)

    I agree with smedlund make it a goal to work for.

    I was thinking about what I would do for when I have lost all my weight. So I will have something to work to that I really want. I have a tat on my toe (toe ring), a cross on my breast, and my eye liner is tattooed. I have been wanting to get my lips tattooed so that is what I am going to work for. Thanks for the idea.

    I am thinking of getting a outline of a schnauzer head on my ankle when I reach my 50 lb. goal line (20 lbs. away)
    In March it will be 20 years since i have a schnauzer is I think it will be O.K.:wink:

    I'm taking myself to mexico when I reach my goal, but my tattoo is something I have wanted for a while
