Following your weight loss, did any of your tattoos change? Could you share a photo of the before and after?

So, along with losing weight, I plan on getting several tattoos. I’m waiting until it’s safe or only tattooing where my body fat is low. I just got a pretty big bluejay tattoo on my forearm because I don’t anticipate a lot of change there. This made me wonder:

  • Did you have any tattoos warp during your weight loss process?
  • What did they end up looking like?
  • Did the loose skin do anything unexpected to the tattoo, like causing the ink to blow out or the tattoo to become infected?
  • If it did warp or change, do you have plans to fix it, cover it, or remove it, or are you leaving it as is?

Arbitrary info about me: 26F, 5’2", SW: 227, CW: 203, Goal: 130. Using MFP and exercising.

Mine may be a little brighter, but there are no other significant differences. I believe that weight loss will have less of an impact on them than ageing. It occurred to me that I should grow wings on the backs of my arms so that as my skin thins and sags, they can flap while I ride my bike…
