Is the forearm a good spot for a tattoo if you plan on losing weight?
I am wanting to get a tattoo ( a sleeve) but since I am going to be losing weight, (about 75 pounds) over the next year or so, I want to get part of it done now and then finish it either when I have lost the weight or am close to being done. Is the forearms (wrist up to elbow) usually a safe place to get a tattoo and have it not be affected by weight loss? I know I need to wait for the upper arm area because that will greatly be affected by the weight loss and the gain in muscle because I will be lifting weights too (to help tone my arms and the rest of me).
Getting a tattoo while losing weight?

Should you get a tattoo if you plan on losing weight?
If you do a little research, you will find it is way worse to gain a lot of weight with a tattoo, than to lose weight with one. The reason being, losing weight is usually a slow process. You skin has time to adjust to the weight loss. Sometimes when you gain weight, it can be a quick process and your skin does not have time to adjust. (ie: stretch marks which is permanent damage to the skin) Where you want your tattoo is a place that does not change much with gain or loss, so you would be fine :)
Should I get a wrist tattoo if I'm trying to lose weight?
It shouldn't, unless you are someone who puts a lot of weight on your wrists. Usually that only happens when you are really heavy. Feel your wrist with your hands. If you feel more fat then bone you should probably wait but if you can feel your bones on the sides of your wrist when you link your other hand around it your wrist size won't really change so it would be fine. Just a tip make sure the word is something that will mean something to you in the future. Never get a guys name on your wrist or anything that you will even have a chance of looking at in 10 or more years and thinking, wow that I was being really silly. You probably know that but I just had to say it, sorry :P.
Rib cage tattoo and weight loss?
Alright to say tattooed people aren't "beautiful" is a dick move. Tattooed people are just as beautiful, they express it in their own unique ways, just like everybody else. Anyways, your tattoo will look fine, I have a giant tattoo on my shoulder and have lost weight, it looks the same, it didn't shrink or anything. Especially if you get it on a place like your ribs, or shoulders. Go for it, trust me your tattoo will be great. By the way, I got my tattoo done by one of the best artists in the state and he said that tattoos and weight loss usually aren't a bad mix. Your tattoo won't look blown out or anything, it will look really pretty.

Should I lose weight before getting a tattoo? I’m not overly overweight but I’m a bit on the heavier side and should lose a few pounds.
Man…I am not sure if you are a female or male, and I do not know where you carry your weight or where you plan on getting ink. I do not know if you have stretch marks, or might get pregnant. Without knowing any of this, I am going to try and answer this in the most honest possible way possible.The Tattoo shouldn’t be the catalyst to lose weight.Having a healthy BMI is good (Normal to Overweight), some fat is healthy and perfectly normal. If you need to loose weight its better for your liver, your heart, your mental state of mind, your life.Also it’s also important for placement, if you are going to stay heavy, you will be getting stretch marks, these can ruin a tattoo, unless they were part of the original ink. Stick to areas that don’t accumulate as much fat, the forearms, your lower legs, the top of your thighs, your hands, your feet, your upper back, your side ribs.
