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!
