   Just to be sure I’d wait and have the tatoo after you loose the weight. You could use it as an incentive to reward yourself after.

   Well it might shrink a tiny bit smaller, but unless your losing like 100+ pounds I doubt there will be any flaws. Remember when getting a tattoo or piercing to go to a good place that keep their tools very clean.

   its on the skin therefor it will stretch.. like eg. a circle will become a oval.. because the fat underneath the skin will evaporate or get burned or whatever so the skin will be bigger than its suppose to be and it wil stretch

   It can sag and stretch depending on your age, genes, and personal body type. So basically I would suggest having the tattoo after you are a stone slimmer. Like a reward =P. I mean it’ll be nicer to look at if your in shape too!

   If you’re not losing too much weight, you should be fine. What you have to worry about more is gaining a lot of weight and getting your tattoo all stretched out (like women getting tattoos near their abdomens stretched out during pregnancy). You should be fine.

   I got mine on my shoulder, where weight gain/loss isn’t likely to occur, though, just in case.

   😉

    Like the man before me said, “If you got a tattoo of a circle, after gaining // losing weight, it can turn into an oval.”
    Just becareful as to where you get it.
    & also make sure that they tattooist are well trained, & all the instruments are clean. Good luck<3
