What happens if you get a tattoo when you're fat?

Question

Let's say you get a tattoo on you're arm, and your pleasantly plump, then you loose a lot of weight, what happens to the tattoo, does it look defunkitated?

Answer 1

It can. If someones looking to lose weight, wait to get tattooed, if you already have it, I would suggest applying lots of lotion to the area that benefits skin tightening.
You'll probably be looking at getting a touch up, maybe a cover up if its big though (if you already have one).

Answer 2

I got two of mine when i was fat and nothing changed on them. The tattoo artist told me that the only things that will really mess up a tattoo are stretch marks or scars. If you develop a stretch mark where your tattoo is, it will distort it and same with a scar, but the tattoo should stretch and shrink with your skin.

Answer 3

I only have experience in the oposite of your position. I got all my tats (except one) when I was thin. and now I am a bit large, the only tat that has changed shape at all is the one on my pelvic bone, it got larger and a bit miscolored. the ones on my back and feet and ankle did not have any change. I know this is not really your question but I was skinny got fat and nothing really happened to most of my tats so I guess the same would happen visa versa.

Answer 4

ok if someone is over their wieght limit and dont like what they see but they get a tatoo and then a few months later lose some wieght, that all depends on where the tatoo is placed on the body if placed in a spot where currently there is a lot of body fat it will look stretched, its best to wait for situations like these,

Answer 5

They just shrink down with the skin. They actually look bolder in color. The shape of the tattoo can change a little but nothing drastic.

Answer 6

Tattoo Fat

Answer 7

Yes, skin will shrink and so will the tat..... good luck with that

Answer 8
