Get it now. If you lose weight it will look okay. Don't keep waiting on something that might not happen. Make yourself happy now.

It depends on where you want to get a tattoo, and how dedicated you are to loosing weight.
Some places on the body won't be affected as much from the weight loss, like the shoulder blade and ankle, while others will have a drastic change, like the belly or hip area. So if you know that where you want the tattoo is an area that will change in size from weight loss, then wait until you've gotten to your goal weight to get the tattoo.
If you are currently working on loosing weight, then wait. You know that your body is changing. You don't want to put a large investment (like a tattoo or a lot of new clothing) until you know that you've settled into whatever shape and size you are going to keep. In addition, if you wait, you can get the piece done like a celebration for loosing the weight. It would be a reward to work for, and an added incentive or bonus for loosing the weight.
If the area you want to get the tattoo done on won't be affected much, then go ahead and get it now. The skin does have some resiliency to it, so if it's an area that is more bone, and less bulk, then it won't hurt the tattoo when you loose weight.
If you aren't currently working on loosing the weight, then go ahead and get it now. You don't want to keep putting it off until you've lost the weight when you aren't sure when you will reach your goal size, which may end up being a very long time. You know that you want one, so getting it done may make you feel better until you've started your weight loss regime.

U should wait till u lose the weight. U shouldn't take the risk if u think it'll look bad if u get the tattoo 1st then loose the weight. At least that's what I would do. I hope I helped u.

If i were you i would wait till i lose the weight. Make a goal for yourself and once you reach that goal go get your tattoo. So then you look forward to something and you really work at loosing that weight for something in return. Good Luck!

Don't get the tattoo until you lose the weight...You can reward yourself with the tat- and every time you look at it it will remind you of what an awesome accomplishment you did in losing the weight.

Your lower back is usually a safe place when you gain or lose weight, unlike say the area around your belly button which is extremely prone to ink distortion. My advice? Go talk to your artist. He or she will not steer you wrong in this.
