I want to get a side panel done how does it handle streching etc.?

Answer 1

Your side is an area that will stretch when you get pregnant, or even when you gain a little weight. I wanted to get my side piece done, but put it off as I knew things would stretch when I had kids. Lucky I waited! After the birth of my son I was absolutley covered in stretch marks, that havn't faded much at all. The area is totally trashed, and not suitable to be tattooed.
That being said, some women are lucky and never get stretch marks at all!! The only thing they would have to think about is sagging, which could distort the image.
I would wait and see what your body does, but you could give it a go. It might be a bit dissapointing when it is ruined after childbirth or weight gain.
maybe try somewhere safe like you upper back or legs/arms.
Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

are you talking about your rib cage? i guess it react the same as any other tattoo and stretching. i assume you are talking about weight gain and loss? some go back to normal but most do not. i have thought about getting my ribcage done but will probably do it after i have kids so i can see how my body looks then.
