A friend of mine told me my tattoos aint gonna look right after I lose weight....

My simple response was "Why because my lower back tattoo will cover my WHOLE back like it use too?!" Lol.

Does anybody else think their tattoos look different after weight loss?

    The one on my ribs looks bigger now. I actually like it more now.

    Mine haven't changed a bit. I guess it depends on how significant the weight loss is and the location of the tattoo.

    Mine haven't changed. I have one on my stomach and i've had 2 pregnancies where I gained 60 lbs with each. It still looks like it did.

    I have one on my stomach that went right back to normal after losing 40ish pregnancy pounds the first time. Here's to hoping for the same result the second time around!

    none of mine have changed
    however whenever selecting a location for a tattoo i made sure i put it in a place that i thought weightloss/gain would not directly effect the appearance of the tattoo

    I have seen it happen both ways...one with no significant change in them and another with an INSANE amount of difference. My guess from my experience is that it depends on the speed and technique of your weight loss. The person I know that had significant change had lost very rapidly through bypass surgery.
