My Possible Tattoo Location?

Question

In the future, I'm considering a tattoo. I'd like a small butterfly (yes, cliched, but butterflies are "my thing" - ask anyone that knows me) and I would REALLY like it around my hip, or where it would be easily covered by my bottom part of a bathing suit or underwear. I also don't want it on my back so I can't see it. My question is if I gain weight/get pregnant someday, is that spot really sucky for a tat? Thanks!

Answer 1

i dont think it'll make a difference cuz it's gonna be low and it's small...and if anything you can get it touched up...if you want you may get it on your ankle? that would look nice

Answer 2

Hey!

My sister has a chinese symbol on her tummy right near her belly button. She is/was really slim with a flat tummy but when she got pregnant with her daughter Aliyah her belly ballooned out and her tattoo went quite big. We was both worried it would stay like that or go all wrinkled but when she gave birth her tattoo went back to what it first looked like and now she has toned up her " baby weight " it looks no different. Also if you did gain weight or had a child and u was all flabby I'm sure you wouldn't be going round in little tops. So i say go for it! Good Luck.

oh yeah i was going to get mine on my hip but a friend showed me her stretched out tattoo , it got that way from having a baby. so i decided nope not getting one there.

Answer 5

your skin will stretch if you become pregnant or gain weight, but if your tattoo is located low enough on your hip, it may not be affected. just stay clear of the stomach area, and get it above or on your hip bone.

you could also ask your artist about stretching and they will recommend a better location for the tattoo

Good luck!

hey yeah.. if u get pregnant u get stretchmarks round ur hip... i'd go for like a small butterfly like light purple or something on the front or ur hip.. like just under ur underwear waistband... i've had a kid too.. and thats the only place round my hip that i dont have stretchmarks..!
