Tattoos and WLS
Ok, so I found a badass blog that does "tatoo tuesday" and features different people's tattoos and stories/advice. http://sometimessweet.blogspot.com/search/label/Tattoo%20Tue sday
My question is, I would like to know y'alls opinions and experiences on tattoos on skin that will be saggy and change alot with our weight loss. I've been assuming I'd just wait til i hit goal weight, and maybe after plastic surgery, but I'm getting impatient. ;)
By no means am i trying to make anyone feel bad if you had them pre-surgery, I just wanna know realities. THANKS!

Actually I'm curous as well. Waiting on weight loss before i get what i want.

I will be getting two tattoos in the coming year, most likely - one on my upper back between my shoulderblades (yes, I have shoulderblades, now!!) and one where the "tramp stamp" goes. The upper back one is in design stages right now - I need to perfect it before next month. The lower back one will be once I either hit goal or once my body decides it's done losing. I imagine neither of these places will experience shift.
However, I would also like to see something on my hip - but I carry a LOT of weight there and I'm not willing to play with that area until I'm done losing. Same with my chest. Essentially, despite others' testimonies, I would recommend that you look at the areas that you PERSONALLY retain fat and avoid those places for tattoos. I could get a tricep tat today that won't barely change by the time I get home. A person I know could do the same and because she carries so much weight in her arms, she can almost certainly count on batwings dragging that tat far out of place.

There was a picture of Wendy Williams in one of those tabloid magazines with a tattoo right were a tummy tuck scar would be. Looked good. I might wait until I get plastics which I hope is in the next year or so.
