Tattoos

I was just wondering If any of you were sporting tatts. I'm curious what happens to the tatt during a big weight loss. Does it change or get distorted?
 
in before and after, there's a thread of a woman who had tats on her tummy and dropped a bunch of weight - i beleive she did say that the tats changed a little... :D
 
A lot of my tatts were from before I got fat so I am confident that they will be ok.. the newer of mine are on parts of my body that didn't swell up (nothing on my belly, my thighs or my butt ;) )

One of my rewards, when I reach my goal, is that I am getting a couple new tatoos.. one will be a set of scales (like the Justice scales) to celebrate my new lease on life.

the big one on my arm I have had for awhile. Now my arm is getting smaller though I did get this when I was smaller a few years back. Its not something I want to have removed to do all over again.
 
I have one on my forearm, a thorshammer. I made it when I had just finished 2 months working in a trawl boat out of the coasts of Iceland so I had a very musculous forearm (thats how you become when you work very hard labor 12-20 hours a day for 2 weeks, 2 days off and then back for 2 weeks), but I have probably been around 280-300 lbs back then. Then my forearms got a lot fatter, but after losing 86 lbs (out of 403 lbs) I really dont see any change in the tattoo. The form is very fixed so there arent many fuzzy lines or things like that, so I am confindent it will stay the same.
 
I'm fiending for a new tattoo so bad. I'm just trying to decide if I should wait Till I get to where I want to be. Wow the problems I have compared to the skinny people lol.........
 
Got 2 tattoos.. they seem to be doing fine with my weightloss. Not noticed a diff. I was told they may shrink a lil though.
 
I'm only 16 but I have 2 tattoos ( they're jailhouse, done with a huge safety pin & india ink ) One's of a heart & one is of a butterfly. I've only lost 12 pounds .. but I see no change in the tattoos so far... I have yet to see what they will look like in the future though.
 
well mine started out as one small tatt then one thing led to another and it was about eight more then a little shading and now it takes up the better part of my upper arm. I like it though...
 
I've got two but they're in places that typically aren't affected by weight gain/loss. I have a rose through a heart on my right calf with "Psa 127:3" written in the heart. The verse is "Children are a gift from God, they are a reward from Him." I've had it for over 5 years now. This summer I got a BEAUTIFUL sun on my lower back...I'm so in love with it! Here it is: (the lines are from my shirt...just over look those)
