Default Weight Loss and Tattoos

I have a strange thing that seems to be happening with one of my tats as I lose weight. It is on the outside of my thigh and every now and then the lines of it will suddenly feel raised. It seems to happen when I have had a whoosh of fat loss from the thigh area. They are very raised right now and I just measured and have lost .5 inch since Sept. 7. Has anyone else noticed this or anything similar happening with their tattoos?

I don't have any tatoo's but I have often wondered what they look like after a large weight loss, (the ones that people actually get when their Bmi's are in the obese or more range.)

Mine both look just fine, no warping and very little movement and are both in locations that caused me great fear when I started losing weight (thigh and above my left breast). The only thing I have had is this raised line thing.

Mine do that occasionally just because. Have no idea why but they're usually back to normal in a day or two. I have almost two full sleeves and various other pieces.

My tattoos did that too the first time I lost weight.. I have no idea what causes it, but if you rub vitamin e oil on it, it usually helps!
