Well, it would depend where the tattoos are located really. I had two prior to surgery and my weightloss didn't affect them at all.

I have 5 of them on my legs. They are just fine. I would think it would depend on where they are on how they would look after weight loss

 pre op i had 3... on my shoulder, my ankle and wrist, and they're all held up perfectly... now if u had them on ur stomach or ass or something it might get saggy bc of loose skin, but mine have held up very well.

Nadine you kill me.....

Damn flat ass!!!!

It's true I actually had quite a large one on my hip...I used to call it my "chunk"
A colorful butterfly sitting on a flower surrounded by flowers.......

It shrunk.....it still looks pretty...only it's a much smaller butterfly......and flowers

I shudder to think if I had one on or near by boobies......

Might be closer to a butterfly on a very long stem flower!!!!
Kidding...... not that bad, but I'm sure the look would have stretched...a bit...

Ankles should be fine - you really aren't going to lose enough weight there to change them.

But I'd wait until after surgery before adding any more.  It
might cause a delay because some doctors don't like to do anything to anyone who's had non-medical enhancements so close to surgery.  (I know that once you've had a tattoo, you can no longer give blood.)  And since you're going to St. Joe's, you probably will have about a year or less to surgery.  Don't take away that chance without finding out first.
