 I was wondering if any of you have had a tattoo before sugery and after losing the weight what it looked like after words. I have 6, right arm, lower back, 2 on my shoulders, right ankle and left claf. I tried to get them in places where I could hide them and where my body doesn't change much.( I have lost 60 pounds and regained it and they haven't changed) I'm not having sugery til sometime in Oct or so.  Any feedback would be great.

I have a couple tattoos.  Right calf, left arm, back of neck, both wrist and lower back.  None of mine are not stretched out or anything.  They look the same as they did when I got them, one is just faded.

The only one that had any issues for me was on the center side of my breast - when the boobs went away, that little dragon looked like a broom stick skirt! But if I spread out the skin, he was still just as he had always been. Ultimately, he went away entirely in the lift/reduction I had.

The others are all fine.

The one on my back has gotten smaller, and you cant tell it has my hubby's name on it unless you strech it out. The one on my foot looks the same. So do my eyebrows, (thank goodness!)

 I have one between my shoulder blades and it looks the same so far.

i have quite a few as well and they still look fine. i have a back piece in progress and have opted to not have any more work done on it till i have sort of stabilized some in my weight b/c i have the same concerns. but, so far they are all fine and still look good.

Only one of mine has changed. I have an earth tattoo on the inside of my arm...it is now egg shaped instead of round!

 So glad you asked this.. The first thing I want to do when I hit 100lbs is get a tattoo. Looking to get one on my foot. Was concerned about stretching.

 Your foot, I wouldn't worry much at all about stretching. It's a little more painful then getting it on your leg or arm though.
