This is what happens to your tattoo when your body changes
We all know the constant thoughts, problems and prejudices around weight. Too fat, too thin, too big, too disproportionate, too unmuscular. About these social ideal images, around which in my opinion far too many thoughts and time are wasted, it is not at all today, but about how a tattoo develops with a weight loss or gain.
The skin stretches like a balloon when it gains a lot of weight and can eventually distort a subject. Whereas the volume of a balloon is evenly distributed, our skin changes disproportionately and individually depending on the physique of a person. However, this is only true in the case of very drastic gains of more than several 10 kilos and in places where the fat particularly accumulates. The upper arms, abdomen, hips and thighs are particularly susceptible here and give your tattoo cause for concern. However, this also has a lot to do with the texture of your skin and connective tissue. This is easily recognizable by stretch marks, which many people get due to weight loss or gain, because the skin could not form as quickly. In these places, tattoos would also have a hard time keeping up with a radical and rapid weight change.
Weight loss
Again, we're talking about very drastic weight loss here, which can often result in excess skin on those affected. On the abdomen, thighs and upper arms this condition is particularly common and can often only be corrected by surgery. Of course, a tattoo on the affected area would then suffer greatly. If you wish to lose a lot of weight, make sure that it is not too radical and fast, that it is done in combination with sports and that it contains a balanced diet. In this way, you give your skin time to regress, stretch marks do not appear and excess skin is prevented.
Muscle Building
You have tattoos and want to pump up your biceps and toughen up that six pack, but are afraid of how your tattoo will perform? Don't worry. When you're building muscle, it's unrealistic for your tattoo to warp because the circumference doesn't change too much compared to weight gain, which only results in an increase in fat. The same is true if you don't feel like running to the gym every day anymore and the muscle is broken down.
Of course, during pregnancy the skin on the abdomen stretches particularly strongly and would also "pull" a tattoo in this place. Whether and how this recedes after pregnancy can not be generalized, because the connective tissue of each woman is crucial for the regression. However, it becomes problematic if the skin on the abdomen tears during the nine months and scars form, which then lead to holes and tears in the motif. Nevertheless, this is not the end of the world and can be corrected after successful regression of the belly by a re-stitching at the tattoo artist of confidence. To prevent stretch marks, regular care with the help of appropriate creams and oils is advisable and can help ensure that your tattoos remain a real eye-catcher even after pregnancy.
