Tattoo question?

Okay, this is a question I felt I could ask you ladies. I always feel dumb around tattoo artist (dumb right?), anyway! I'm at like 200 pounds now, and I have three tattoos, I have plans to get more, but I also plan to lose weight. If I get tattoos now, while I'm bigger then what I plan to be, will my tattoos adjust to my smaller shape? Espically if I do it in a slow and healthy aspect? Any help please? :D

I have no idea, theoretically the tattoo should shrink with your skin right? If you loose weight not too quickly. I would imagine in your skin shrinks with you then your tattoo would shrink too, but I don't imagine the shrinkage of the tattoo would be a lot.

Depends on where your tattoo is placed. To be honest it probably will look distorted any time after gaining or losing weight, especially in places where the the skin does expand (stomach, thighs/calves, biceps, hip area).

Get them now. I wish I took advantage when I had 9 months between pregnancies to get more some ink.

Who cares if your 336 pounds, if you want it, they'll hook you up.

Well i have a friend..who is a tattoo artist so i asked him for you
He said that if you plan to lose weight then you shouldn't get it done till you reach your ideal weight simply because..yes the tattoo will shrink with you but it won't look the same as it did when you first got it and could possibly warp
I hope that helps hun
