OK this may sound totally crazy but I have to ask if anyone knows anything about this. When you lose weight does it make your tattoos look funny? I have one on my back and my ankle that I'm not concerned about because they shouldn't changed much, but I have one on my midthigh and I would hope the size of my thighs changes a lot when I lose weight. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of this?

The tattoos on your back (and my back!) and your ankle should be fine.

Your tattoo on your thigh may end up looking a little funky and here's why.

As you lose weight and exercise, your skin may "tighten" (due to a hormone that is released).. since your tattoo is part of your skin, it could end up looking a little wierd... but my friend says her dad lost 100 lbs and had a tatoo on his stomach, and it just got a little squished.

It also depends on your age (older you are, unfortunately, less your skin will "tighten") and if you got the tatoo before or after you gained weight.

A tattoo is one of my rewards...and I cannot wait to get it.

I wouldn't stress too much about your tattoo changing or be altered in any way. I would give any day to have a great body and a little altered tattoo. lol

I have decided that a belly button piercing is m y goal. I wan t a ring that hangs with little jewels on it!!!

There is NO Such thing as a stupid question!!!

Jenniffer you may be right about the great body, but the problem is with the "little" altered tattoo, my tattoo is not exactly "little"....lol

My husband has 3 tattoos. One on each arm and one on his chest. He has lost 87lbs in the past 10 months. His tattoos do not look any different.
